dude this was an INCREDIBLE analysis of the genre and one of the best guides i've seen in a minute. ROCK ON and please keep it up

this channel deserves way more views

[@gabe61willys]

Criminal how few views this has. Killer video. For anybody looking into this genre for the first time I can't recommend monolord enough.

Thank you!! Glad to know the video helps!

I think this is the only video about writing a certain style of music that didn't just focus on the notes and chords commonly used in the genre. Describing the intent behind the sound was really helpful. Any chance of getting a video on writing a Hellhammer or Celtic Frost song?

[@writemetalmusic]

Very glad to hear that it was helpful :)
I'll put those bands in the list :)

i can’t believe this has so little views, this video was insanely good man, really great work

[@obsequious_obsolescence]

Doom theory… I never thought i would listen to something like this… I guess the genre is becoming more mainstream. You did a good job breaking it all down. I would like to hear more elaboration on down tuning and pedal choice but not a big deal.

[@writemetalmusic]

I appreciate the comment!
But I'm not sure what more you need to hear about drop tuning and pedal choice than what I've mentioned. I wouldn't go further than drop A, and the link to the Mick Gordon clip shows you the lengths that he went to to get it.
Beyond that, just experiment. Use Neural Amp Modeller to get pretty much any amp or pedal you want and combine it in unique ways to make insane sounds. Your experimentation will give you your signature sound :)
