Mikael the Blast Nazi.

So do you think that there will be any blast beats on Deliverance? I do believe mikael said it was the heaviest shit they've done so far ... so maybe? What do you think?

 

[phon1c]

nah. it won't be heavy like that.

 

[Poison Godmachine]

I've heard the term blast beat a thousand times but I'm still not certain of what it is!
A little help?

 

[Protected Witness]

Pretty much sixteenth note or 8th note phrases simultaneously on the snare and kick drums. Add cymbals to taste...

Umm, think of the drums of the faster Nile-songs.

Listen to Morbid Angel....you'll get a good idea of what it is.

 

[ControlledChaos]

ok, the beginning of Cryptopsy's "voice of unreason". I mean, those are insanely fast, that is actually more of a gravity blast, but they're blast beats.

 

[Schraiber]

It'd be very interesting to hear blasts. I mean, a blast doesn't immediately mean brutality. Listen to Of Darksome Origin by Egde of Sanity for a good example of melodic blasting.

 

[Kveldssanger]

I don't think that when they said heavy they meant something different than they already have done... But then again they may surprise us (Opeth playing grindcore )

 

[IanDork107]

I can't say that I think Opeth and blast beats would go together very well. I'll never say never, but I think their heaviness is in the atmosphere and tight arrangements, not sheer old school brutality.

 

[Sigma]

no blast beats with my order of Opeth, please

12 minute grindcore songs? Well, at least it'd be original.

 

[Staffan]

Nah I don't think so! Lopez is a better drummer than that... j/k ... but Ican't imagine opeth playing blastbeats, it's definetly their cup of tea

 

[Dvoters]

Yeah but its something different isnt it. I'd like to see them try it at least.

The day Opeth start doing Grindcore is the day ill fucking kill myself

 

[sands of the seas]

It would be interesting to see how they would incoorporate blast beats into their songs. It would be cool to get a taste of it, but hey, it's their music, i'm not picky. What ever it is, i'm sure it will be great. It's Opeth after all.

 

[Ermz]

Didn't Lopez do blastbeats in Amon Amarth?

it would be quite interesting to hear some blastbeats in Opeth songs.... although I can't say I can imagine it fitting well at all...

 

[Static]

Opeth + Blastbeats = an utterly fucked up idea.

How dare you even think about it!

How is that so fucked up? I think in some of the more intense moments, it would really propel the music. I'm not saying they have to do grindcore, but it would be interesting to see it done by them at least once.

 

[Opet]

I've been under the impression that blast beats are...as fast as they can go. I used to think that's what I liked. I like double bass NOT blast beats. So, that with Opeth? em. Who knows. They're always pulling tricks out of their hats. At this point, I can say I really don't prefer it. Static's in a cranky mood this morning. :Smug:

Add cymbals to taste...
