StuartEstell Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 One day I knew I'd find a use for those extra buttons with Ab on the pull... This is a version of "Belus Doed" by Burzum. Intense repetition intact, buzzsaw guitars, drums, and burning-alive-down-the-bottom-of-a-well vocals gone and replaced with a frosty chorale and, er, morris jig. https://soundcloud.com/lachenaliamusic/belus-doed-burzum-cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimLucas Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 " Anyone For Heavy Metal?" Not me. I know tastes differ, but though I like many more kinds of music of music than I can do myself, the little heavy metal I've listened to (directed by friends) hasn't attracted me to want to hear more; mostly it's repulsed me or "at best" left me indifferent.But I have learned that Stuart does some good stuff, so I listened. This is a version of "Belus Doed" by Burzum. Intense repetition intact, buzzsaw guitars, drums, and burning-alive-down-the-bottom-of-a-well vocals gone and replaced with a frosty chorale and, er, morris jig.https://soundcloud.com/lachenaliamusic/belus-doed-burzum-cover Hmm. I would like to hear this in a full metal band arrangement, along with drums, guitars and vocals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCp2mPGpJW0 So I listened to that, too.Well, the "original" impressed me as somewhere between boring and annoying. No surprise, I guess. Stuart's version, on the other hand, I found almost enjoyable, though overly (too my taste) repetitive (which, as I understand it, is the intent ). I don't know if he would consider that a compliment or not. But it sounds to me like he's done a good job of what he set out to do. and Stuart singing it. maybe then I'd be able to understand the words. My Norwegian is non-existent I'm afraid... I found a page with the lyrics and an English translation. Here's the URL: http://lyrics.wikia.com/Burzum:Belus'_Død/en Oddly enough, if I use the Forum editor to make that a "link", the Forum software apparently doesn't accept the apostrophe as valid and truncates the URL, sending one to a nonexistent page: http://lyrics.wikia.com/Burzum:Belus However, if I just include the URL as part of my post's text (as I have done), my browser independently recognizes it as a URL, and a click sends me to the right page. (If that doesn't work for you, try copying the URL and pasting it into your browswer.) There's one obvious error in the English: In the first verse, the Norwegian word "saks" is "translated" as "seax". Don't know where that came from, but the correct meaning is "scissors" or (more in keeping with the style) "shears".One more thing about differing tastes: I feel that if there are words, they should be heard, and preferably understood. Varg Vikernes (i.e., Burzum) apparently feels otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, thanks for listening anyway Jim - it probably won't surprise you that my enthusiasm for metal rivals my enthusiasm for the folk tradition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 My friend Chris has done an ambient remix of this - he's not added any samples, just used the concertina sounds as raw material... https://soundcloud.com/brumcast/dnp-remixes-stuart-estells-concertina-cover-of-burzum-belus-deod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Łukasz Martynowicz Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, thanks for listening anyway Jim - it probably won't surprise you that my enthusiasm for metal rivals my enthusiasm for the folk tradition! Then it is probably a rhetorical question if you know Korpiklaani? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvbsrD3gDwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartEstell Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 I didn't, Lukasz, but have listened - good fun. Definitely "Finnish Drinking Metal"! I noticed in their wikipedia article that humppa is mentioned - you can really hear it in some of their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
