No I don't know much about them, but the fast kick drums sound typical to genre (to me). As always it's very nice get these band/style illustrations from you!

Hi everybody!
This time I´ve been working on a song in the Melodic Black Metal style, focused on NAGLFAR´s album "vittra" released in 1995.
basically, this style try to mix a melodic atmosphere with deep and dark violence. Of course, to close the circle, we need growl voices over it to complete the sound, but for all of us, guitar players, we want to learn how to play BM we only have to pay attention on the guitar lines trying to get an aggressive sound.
We´ll work on E minor key. We´ll use a lot our right hand to develop the melody behind chords, and once we finish, we´ll get new resources for our compositions.
Hope you like this lesson! Have fun!
Stay close! -
