thats how i learned to like and eventually love Black metal. When i was studying music living in a student collective one of other students who became a friend was a such a black metal fan and was playing it on his acustic all the time. I loved trad metal like sabbath and maiden and other melodic metal but i could not stand thrash metal as it was way to based on rhythm than melody. But hearing black metal on acustic made me realise that it is very almost more melodic than most metal. If it was not for the blast beats and vocals it would be the go to for anyone who loves melodic metal.
I just got back to my hotel in Bergen after seeing Enslaved and Emperor play amazing sets at the legendary Grieghallen. Emperor brought out Faust and Mortiis to play this and a couple other tunes, including an unexpected Celtic Frost medley. Incredible!
Yes! Was simply amazing. Btw, I think they played Innocence And Wrath and The Usurper in its entirety, not a medley. Or did I miss smth? Was just too happy lol.
This acoustic version is so atmospheric and beautiful. I've just returned from seeing them in Grieghallen. I cannot confirm or deny that I've watched your cover 10s of times!
Emperor is one of my all time favorite bands and I only want to hear cover versions done with respect towards the Norwegian masters. This is indeed a cover of extraordinary quality and atmosphere. Congratulations!
Simon this is beautiful and amazing. You continue to be such an inspiration and amazing artist. I think I may like this better than the original Emperor version 😊. You are THE MAN! Best channel of You Tube for me.
@@SimonSmithGuitar me2 Im a pretty accomplished death metal player but I bought your black metal course its really good you are a great teacher and humorous. \m/ \m/

Soy un novato comenzando a explorar con una guitarra criolla este genero tán amplio, gracias a estas versiones acústicas tuyas logro captar mejor y de forma más nítida las estructuras típicas en el Black metal más originário, muy bueno tu canal, gracias por la información.
Хороший и полезный видеоурок для тех , кто хочет понять , как играть эту песню на двух гитарах . Хотя бы основные партии без нюансов разобрать . Ну а дальше уже сами , у кого насколько слуха хватит .
Another one great cover . Keep up your amazing work. Also I tried to search the reference for your guitard but couldn't find. Can you please tell me which guitard it is? Tx Found the other one that you used for the accoustic cover ( Tanglewood Sundance) but Couldn't find this one
it impresses me to no end that they also composed this around 16-17 years old.
thats true mate... and darkthrone with even 15 yo... and vikernes having 16/17 too in the demos. in one word: talent
A time before cell phone addiction and TikTok.
Thts when ur memory is sharpest lol

I love this! Black metal sounds so good on acoustic guitar.
dark folk, mountain acoustic with east european music vibes.

Probably the greatest respect I can give you is NOT ONE of your videos has disappointed me. EVER.

This is like the perfect campfire song

Can I hate you ? I didn't know this event and it's too far from home...
I was there too! Awesome show. And then mercyful fate the next day 😍
Lucky boichik. * heavily breathing in jealousy*
Did Faust bring his knife?
Lately, I've found myself listening to an acoustic version of black metal songs more and more. Just awesome.
The purity of performance on an acoustic guitar is striking. Very cool...
This acoustic version is so atmospheric and beautiful. I've just returned from seeing them in Grieghallen. I cannot confirm or deny that I've watched your cover 10s of times!
This acoustic version is similar to surf rock 😆
0:16 goosebumps. So dark and beautiful.
the las half part is incredible. that way to perform it gave me a lot of inspiration, thanks.
Reminds me an old surf black metal tune
The Emperors!
This cover is beautiful. Amazing playing technic and feel
It's delightful! One of my favorite compositions. I will definitely play it. 🤘🏻
Emperor is one of my all time favorite bands and I only want to hear cover versions done with respect towards the Norwegian masters. This is indeed a cover of extraordinary quality and atmosphere. Congratulations!
My friend I can’t tell you how beautiful this is, you somehow made this masterpiece even better, absolutely LOVE it!! I give you all the thumbs up!

Crazy how much it sounds like Opeth at times . This stuff sounds amazing , thanks
I was just thinking that the last third or so sounds like something off of the first two Opeth records.
