the title says it all; mix the mood of black metal with the groove and sharpness of break dance...

inclusion criteria:
-any gear is allowed, but, low-tech chips should be at least part of the sound source
-musicality IS important this time
-the black-metalest the better
-the grooviest (breakable) the better
-submissions should be accompanied by a story about the recording location, or mood of the song...(could also be made up stories)

hints for ingredients:
-minor, minor 7th scales
-slow and mean melodies
-groove to break on, made of drum sounds close to 808, dmx, etc.
-harsh yet mellow production
-voice through vocoders, talkboxes, or just distortion (or no voice)
-blastbeats are ok, but main part should be 'groovy'
-...whatever you think relevant...

to solve:
-label for physical release (vinyl anyone? or maybe tape, for ghetto-blasters with black-light leds)
-one or two more reviewers
-deadline not defined yet, we'll see, based on interest
-name of the collab to be announced soon

let the game begin

interested:
-DKSTR
-arottenbit
-Chema64
-Nestrogen

now im even more confused, i was thinking there was a language issue...
so you want people to combine early, simple hip hop or electro with black metal?

it is strange, and this is what is good about it smile

this is not about the fans, their paint or any of this.
this is about mixing up the sounds, moods and song structures of each.

if there is no genuine interest, please remove the topic.
I have no intention of generating discussions about fans, styles, genres or what ever it is called.

i think its helpful to analyse the essence of both genres. for breakdance, freestyle, electroboogie i guess its all about the rhythm, the popping  808s. so what would be the main ingredients of black metal?

funny- the more i think about it the more it seems to fit. take this electro-classic for instance. deep vocoders can be pretty black-metalish, right?

...gets close to part of the idea

but it could also be more mellow

I wanted to leave it more intuitive, but if people need a hand with defining the idea...

part of the ingredients:
-minor, minor 7th scales
-slow and mean melodies
-groove to break on, made of drum sounds close to 808, dmx, etc.
-harsh yet mellow production
-voice through vocoders, talkboxes, or just distortion (or no voice)
-...whatever you think relevant...

Can it have some blastbeat breakdowns? Will I get extra points if I record it in a wet basement in the middle of forest?

This sounds so stupid and fun at the same time, I will try to contribute something:)

finally, people see the light smile
blastbeats more than welcome, but the groove should be the main part.
of course, you get extra points for the location smile

new rule:
-submissions should be accompanied by a story about the recording location, or mood of the song...(could also be made up stories)
