metalcharter Presents: Bornholm - Where the Light was Born - now available on Rock Band Network

[kingaaron01]

now i want rock band 2. and great charting btw. i just wanna play guitar and bass. it looks fun.

[gamerrants]

Wow only a $1 for this song? Stellar buy, fantastic song.

[24014dp]

That song is amazing. :D

I bought it last night. =]

Those really fast chords are going to be the death of my guitar's strum bar though, lol.

There should be more Bornholm in Rock Band.

[mortician001]

black metal in rock band = EPIC WIN

[mechamind90]

Depending on the bass, I'm pretty sure an FBFC of this song will happen. I wonder how many points it would score if overdrive is deployed?

I'm not sure if Harmonix and Activision have a term for it:

*The blasts at 0:53 contain 34 gems on the instruments alone per quarter note (Assuming x1.5 on bass), amounting to up to 27200 points per quarter.

*1:57 is around 40-48, and the outro is around 37-45.

Not sure if people care, but this is a chart showcase anyhow, so I figured I'd note that.

[gh3wtflol]

Where are the Fills? Every other instrument has fills accept the drummer.

[TheLongingSH]

hey wulfe, PLEASE tell me you got something from Death or Atheist? I'd shit my pants if they came to RBN :D

This song is amazing, don't know why I missed it before

[blackheart103]

@TheLongingSH I can see Athiest coming, but if Death WERE to ever come, it would either be DLC or on disc, there's just no way they'd leave that to RBN.

[jwill23zone]

this song is freakin awesome dude and nice charting

[omjurmom96]

this song sound like the dropkick murphys and children of bodom having a baby.

[petemadero1]

every time i play this song it never lets me finsh??

[Lankydan321]

Great job on this, any chance of some Opeth soon? :(

[OminousCarnage]

stellar song choice for RBN if you ask me. Best song in the metal part of the shop.

[axeshredstorm69]

Holy... SHITBISCUITS-AND-GRAVY!

WORKING XBOX 360, XBL, AND XNA... NAO!!!

[Destruction3402]

The blast beats that starts at 1:40 and continuing to 3:28 really is a stamina test!

[DDRHAMSTER]

lol blast blast blast blast nothing..............blast blast blast

[batd]

Wulfe, I played this recently, and maybe it's just me, but it feels and sounds like the song and chart go out of sync during the section from about 30% to 60% of the song. I like the song, but it feels really out of sync.

[Gotkath]

Amazing, one of the best Black Metal bands.

[blackheart103]

@Gotkath Although I agree the song is good... NO WHERE NEAR the best black metal band, dude. Mayhem, Burzum, Emperor (suphouseholdnames).

[sicwhite1]

Another chord mess on guitar.

[jjjmanyo]

Double bass is badly charted at like 1:00, you only charted half of it.

[wuLFe79]

@jjjmanyo

Nope - I have the drum stems - I charted all of it - but even if it was double the speed, it would be impossible to play with a single pedal for that length of time, and would have to be thinned down to this anyhow.

[jjjmanyo]

@wuLFe79 Really? Because I saw the drum chart too. (Drummer for 5 years) and one of them must have been wron XD, fuck the internet and it's false info. lol, whatever, not that big a deal. Great chart anyways

[mikez2605]

@wuLFe79 but 0:13 you could play with a single pedal? I kinda doubt it tbh

[axeshredstorm69]

@mikez2605 Look at songs like Hammer Smashed Face and This is Exile. I believe that it's been done before.

[mechamind90]

@jjjmanyo Actually, 0:14 is more notable as they most likely charted two bass pedals for one foot.

[Mordain607]

@jjjmanyo

Snares sound a bit like bass hits. That is a fact of life.

[BowlinLefty]

The blasts from 1:40 to 3:30 do a number on you if you aren't really good at them. If you miss a note or get off beat, you have about 5 seconds to recover or that's the end. I just got this song today, and it's really fun, especially if you are looking for a challenge, as it is quite difficult!!!

[FlemanX360X]

This song is retarded.. RETARDED AWESOME!!

[frogwolf777]

I'm just trying to imagine, what if the Overdrive was used by all of the instruments all at the same correct time. How many points would they accumulate. With the three note chords (Guitar) and the whole band using their Overdrive at the same time = Epic Score. Maybe even an even greater score than the highest Full Band score I've seen so far... Green Grass and High Tides 3,704,230

Can't wait for a FBFC of Bornholm - Where the Light was Born.

Awesome song. There needs to be more like it.

[RedSharkMan]

@frogwolf777 Let There Be Rock (live) has had a full band score of over 4 million points. But that's beside the point. If you had a full band x8 going during the fast part on drums, guitar, and bass, I'm pretty sure you'd be looking at between 45-60k points per second. A full bar would last a little while too considering the lower BPM.

[Brettendo64]

wtf too many chords

[BowDown2TheThrasherr]

Yeaa I agree with zgates def seem to hear some melodic traits in there but I love the song regardless of the genre. Such amazing instrumentals, amazing job charting it! I have played it and it is very fun and challenging. make more please

[linemanz]

videos interlaced. Fix it.

[vistaphyte]

Everything looks good except for the guitar. Apparently tremolo picking translates into chords. Huh.

[Lohead20]

I don't about anyone else, but the vocals kinda remind me of Dimmu Borgir...

[blackheart103]

@Lohead20 Because you aren't into black metal because Dimmu Borgir are the worst example of it. Disgrace to black metal.

[LPJeetkunedo]

It would be cool if you did something by Mayhem (with Attila!!) or 1349 (preferably something off of Hellfire!!). Now THAT'S true black metal.

But if you're going to stick with black metal, don't do Darkthrone unless it's their more recent stuff. I never liked Transylvanian Hunger. :p

Also, this isn't really "straight up black metal." That's not to say it's not good, but it's like proggy folk-black metal like Enslaved or Borknagar.

[blackheart103]

@LPJeetkunedo HELL YEAH! I wouldn't mind seeing like anything off of Ordo Ad Chao! Good ol' Hellhammer would give these wimps a run for their money.

[kingaaron01]

this song kicks ass. nice charts. makes me wanna play this

[JKiscooliest]

With an amazing full band this could easily be the highest scoring song for RB

[capngeeoff]

Well that looks like a work-out.

[Farrell81]

Finally some true black metal. It is no Darkthrone, but it is nice to finally see this genera getting some love. I hope more black metal bands utilize RB network.

[zgates]

Excellent chart AND song.

Not sure I'd call it straight up black metal since it's got all the melodic flourishes, but that's just my subgenre snobbiness coming out, LOL.

[wuLFe79]

@zgates

Yeah - perhaps "straight up black metal" was a little misleading - it's certainly not as raw as Darkthrone/Burzum/Satanic Warmaster or any of that stuff - but hey - I still think the song kicks ass - I guess personally I prefer the more melodic sub-subgenres :P (although I do <3 some of the early Satanic Warmaster stuff as well)

[WhiteWolf4x]

Wulfe, you should try making a Dillinger Escape Plan song, I'd love you forever.

[trazac]

I like how the song is autoplayed to be an auto FC, but the score doesn't amount to even five stars.I don't think it's right, but it's kind of funny.

[wuLFe79]

@trazac

Actually, to the best of my knowledge, all songs when autoplayed will come out to around 4.5 *s - the star cutoffs are all worked out mathematically based on the number of notes, and all the (many) songs I've tested in autoplay like this have never 5*'d :)

[trazac]

@wuLFe79 That's weird. I guess it works out that way so that someone can't autoplay a song and say it was an FC. Of course it would look funny to have a song play and not use any overdrive.

[animal626]

@trazac probably cuz the "bots" didnt use any overdrive! They would have had a huge score if they used all the overdrive!

[FoxtrotXero]

Wow, these guys sure love blast beats.....

[kyeruu2]

@FoxtrotXero are you talking out of your ass? i barely aw blast beats.

[iammaxhailme]

Also, you sure like your songs where the guitar is 6/4ing while the rest is 4/4ing, don't you? That fucks me up, lol.

[iammaxhailme]

Overall it's done well, but it has a few of the same problems as Descend, IMO... unnecessary chords when they sound like singles and threes when they sound like twos, and they're charted in an unneededly awkward fashion.

[LegendarySock]

Sexy music.

[Draconium666]

while i don't like the screamo part, the guitar part looks rather entertaining to play, and the drum part just looks scary 8D

[DarkDyami]

I watch the dude in the band on Deviantart I do like their music X3 he just sent this link in his journal

[ledgo22]

Eh. Sadly more songs I'm not into. The chart looks alright, but sheesh, the screamo is just a turn-off for me.

[mp5k69mmkay]

i like how u charted the drum part with alternating red and yellow and not constant red with yellow on every 2 and 4. a lot of metal drummers in bands do that instead of the constant hi hat and sometimes harmonix fails to realize that. nice chart :)

[BreakBenSH]

Very nice wulfe... Keep 'em coming :P

[giddy123456]

i thought at the gates were melodic death metal, wait they totally are, so they were the first on rockband

[betonxar]

Are the charters from Hungary? :) Gratula, fiúk. :)

[GotGuitarzchick97]

Excellent song!!!! I'm not going to be negitive so awesome!!! one of your best dude!!!!!!! keep it up!! and the sing?!? did he have a sore throut afterward?

[FrankieBoombatts]

The most interesting part of this video, is that this isn't autoplay. Wulfe is playing all the instruments at once

[canoshizrocks]

@FrankieBoombatts Lies.

[Goadiroth]

yay for first official black metal song in RB! awesome song too

[Goadiroth]

yay for first official black metal song in RB! awesome song too

[Bryce20XX]

Only 80 MSP :) im getting this when I get some more points

[whispurwind]

That drummer must have had a broken foot at the end lol.

[Thom2509]

Awesome, awesome song. I can't say I care for the guitar chart, but I'll probably still buy it since the song is so amazing.

[Penguin350129]

holy fuck i need to get this.

[wheelie4lj]

thats not a blast beat! its alternating! Theres a big difference!!

[cyanidezz]

Good job well done, not something I'd buy though tbh, the charts look far to repetative.

[likestooplay]

bornholm is a small island between sweden and poland

[Thunderhorse761]

Woo! Black Metal on rock band! Great job Wulfe. Now I want to see some tech death like Necrophagist or Obscura, then I'll be set for ever.

[Bradyman55]

uhm... when you said that this is the first black metal. arent you forgetting about Conquer All by Behemoth?

[Mg603]

@Bradyman55 no one cares about behemoth

[wuLFe79]

@Bradyman55

Behemoths earlier albums were black metal, but their newer stuff (including Conquer All) is more "blackened death metal" - ie: death metal with some black metal characteristics - particularly Nergals vocals, which are far more of the death metal growl than the black metal rasp - yay sub sub genre classifications :)

[TensionSpree]

Um... Black metal. No comment, I heard Demoniac and vomited.

[blackheart103]

@Bradyman55 Lol, idiot. Just because Nergal (that's the lead guitarist and vocalist (; ) wears corpse paint doesn't make him black metal, I was waiting for some idiot in these comments to say that.

[SidV101]

if someone actually tried to play that many three note chords in a song their pick would be ground to dust lol

[crimsonflare506]

what's next for you wulfe? Bathory hopefully.

[daniel3247]

THE PROJECT HATE MCMXICX IS BETTER

[odensla]

brutal...

nice chart

awesome song

lol everything you want from a rhythm game haha

[MrRockbandallstar]

This chart has so many fucking problems. Its boring with too many triple chords on guitar, some notes are charted before they occur in the song. The drum part looks as boring as shit with a blast that lasts about 2 minutes long. This song looks like a chord shitstorm that was not needed. Fucking boring as retarded chart, and it looks like the same thing as ur last shitty chart.

[Wootermensch]

@MrRockbandallstar Agreed, although I wouldn't put it as harshly.

[wuLFe79]

@MrRockbandallstar

So, let me see - you want me to represent tremolo picking with what? Sweeping arpeggios? And maybe I can show blast beats with drum rolls? Or wait, maybe I should actually chart what's in the song - nobody is holding a gun to your head and telling you to buy it y'know! Now run off back to your bridge!

[lost3594]

@wuLFe79 you should make a chart for the song crawling through the infinite fields of carnage, i love that song and it would be cool to see it in rock band

[Okiyu22]

@wuLFe79 You tell his dumb ass Wulfe!

[bigdaddyd87x]

@wuLFe79 Gotta love trolls... lol

[moomandw]

@MrRockbandallstar Wow, what in the hell is wrong with you? He charted it as its played, period. 3 note cords dont make a song suck and the blast WAS THAT LONG so why the hell would he chart it any other way? Your just having a problem with the type of music as far as im conserned and your taking it out on the chart.

[blackplastic7]

@MrRockbandallstar Dude, he charted it the way it should be, blame the song for the chords and blast beats...

[saaaammm]

@MrRockbandallstar stop being a big ass troll. if you don't like it, don't watch it. if you don't want it, don't buy it. go whine to someone who cares.

[artgeek12583]

damn wulfe! making charts now and are able to be purchased!

u should be a pro charter for harmonix. ur better than some of the charters they have >.>

[mikeyk777]

i havnt played RB since the first game, but this is deffinatly worth buying!!

[daggaweird]

wuLFe are all the songs your charting gonna cost 80 msp?

[KillRoy117]

This song is too boring and repetitive. Chart something else that doesn't repeat the same notes over and over again

[turtelyturtleclub]

3:10 like a black metal female ringo starr

[warriorofsol]

It doesn't show up on my RBN and I was too lazy to look on the marketplace how do I go about fixing this.

[toymasheenSH]

Black Metal Ist Kreig!

[MaggotSoldier666]

How do you go about getting permission from a band/label, and acquire their master tracks for charting, isn't that tough? lol

[AppleSSB]

LOL the drummer at 3:10

[azuritereaction]

yeah, it's doable with one pedal. hammersmashedface is faster than that, and myself and others have hit that part with one pedal too.

[s0n1ch3r0]

Great chart for the song, but personally I'm not a fan of chord mashfests. I liked DitEPoP, but I don't think I'll be getting this one. Keep up the great work though!

[nitch543]

Cool song, nice chart

You should chart The Czar by mastodon

that would be so epic

[blackheart103]

@nitch543 Mastodon would more than likely be DLC, or on-disc. WMG definitely wouldn't let him.

[fr1edweezy]

too repetitive and quite frankly boring.

[ProR0cker]

i like how the drummers facial expression is like "Yeah, this is nothing"

[Mastersturm]

Drums are horrible for the first 3 or so minutes, Not sure what you are talking about. Same repetitive beat with a few fills thrown in. The guitar and bass is a strumfest, however the guitar makes a nice transition around 3:30 but that seems to become repetitive as well. Overall I don't think this song looks all too fun. No solo. Just 6 minutes of beating the shit out of high hat and snare and strumming. But don't let me make the decision for you.

[azuritereaction]

@Mastersturm repetitive drums = 70% of metal songs on RB, lol (and 70% of songs on RB in general)

[Mastersturm]

@azuritereaction I realize that but this one doesn't even mix it up in a verse to chorus manner. Are there even choruses in this song?

[pwnmasteh]

I'm going to go broke if you keep putting out stuff like this. :)

What else do you have waiting for us?

[millross]

Looks to me like the cut-offs need dropping, you should be able to 5 star ANYTHING in a rhythm game without using any overdrive or star power - the chart looks great but the star cut-offs are silly!

[azuritereaction]

@millross cutoffs aren't anything wulfe can do anything about, RB engine is designed to work under the assumption all songs have overdrive, which is why all of my audition mode FC's generally don't get gold stars and barely get 5 stars.

[CCBlackhawk]

Chart looks like it sounds, Very Nice :D Metal>all

[stringX90]

Looks like SO MANY POINTS

[RBdestroyer3321]

now imagine the score if the energy was being activated

[iamjackson4life]

If only I had xbl.

[SerialKiller91]

Good chart, WuLFe ! =)

[blada600]

I only watched the first minute and a half, but up until then this seemed like one of the more accurate charts I've seen for a custom song.

[BIGPAUL94]

Nice job with the charting. sounds like an epic song as well. I'm going to buy this next time I get points.

[flingersnap1]

this was pretty good. well done :)

[jkgatling]

Disliking the song but kudos anyway for bringing it to RBN

[mirrormask512]

\,,/ \,,/

[shibaduba00]

cool, i'm definitely gonna buy this, to support METAL. It's gonna RAPE me on guitar but damn fun on drums :P RBN definitely got too much of the -core stuff and not enough real metal

[halofreak2121]

The drum chart looks incredibly fun. Can't wait to get this

[Jekoup]

80 points, instant buy! Thanks metalcharter for all these cool metal songs.

[RandomProduct]

The autoplayer couldn't 5-star it? The fuck?

[smilebig1337]

@RandomProduct The autoplayer didn't use overdrive at all.

[RandomProduct]

@smilebig1337 Isn't the 5-star cutoff still the same as how it was in previous games? Where it's based upon your average multiplier?

I'm pretty sure you can 5-star songs without overdrive.

[smilebig1337]

@RandomProduct It depends on the 5 star cutoff. Some songs don't require sp/overdrive for 5 stars and some do.

[Atriox1]

I feel sorry for any one who can play rock band drums that well.

[danchan101]

will this eventually be available on ps3? does psn even have rbn? :(

[belakisamongthehiden]

it hits 1000000 points, with out energy, before the 4th star! thats insane

[vampirereconsint]

That looks amazingly fun. :D I think my arm or hand or whatever would fall off on those strumming sections though. o.o

You know what black metal band I'd like to see in Rock Band? Agathodaimon. And preferably something off their newest album, Phoenix.

Then again, there are plenty of great black metal bands who'd have fun songs for Rock Band...

[blackheart103]

@vampirereconsint Yeah, I know what you mean, but a lot of them wouldn't want the exposure.

[vampirereconsint]

@blackheart103 I completely agree, but it'd be nice if we could play their songs. But not at the disrespect of the bands, of course.

[PotatoHandle]

Bloody hell. A guitar FC of this would be, like a billionty points.

Looks like a good chart, I'll prolly pick this up if I ever get a hold of some US MSP. >_>

[S3bz3r0]

OH, sorry, that's the backing track!

[S3bz3r0]

5:02 (guitar track) should be two chords, probably YO and BO, i don't know if you can understand me or hear it

[the1andonlybigh]

not a bad track to listen too. Not much variation in the charts though for guitar and bass. Lots of strumming, lol

[Hvaharjeggjort]

lolwut, bornholm o..o danish bsns

[wuLFe79]

Actually, this one has just been approved - it should show up in the store in a day or two

[jobo99999]

Unfortunately these awesome songs that you guys keep presenting don't seem to be available to me in the UK :(

[shibaduba00]

don't you think you charted double bass here?

[wuLFe79]

@shibaduba00

Absolutely - but if you see in the description, the double bass is slow enough that it can be hit with one pedal!

[LittleSocrates]

I'd never really heard any traditional black metal before this, but if this is what it traditionally sounds like I'll have to pick up some for myself.

[ghjcc7]

awesome song awesome chart

[pugby25]

you know i dont really like death metal or black metal but this actually had a nice melodic feel to it

[xnightkillerx]

I will cry if this doesn't come to PS3... seems like every day I'm missing out on something better and better.

[Rollacoastalex]

My inputs:

Drums - That's the longest blast in Rock Band... oh wait... there it goes again :p 5:01

Guitar - Triple chords that are coming at you like crazy = rip out your GHIII guitar.

Bass - Crazy strumming and some special chords throughout the song

Vocals - Psh... easy. Wait... is that actually singing? 1:11

Pretty good. I'd recommend it to anyone on here who downloads all of the metal stuff on Rock Band... and that's pretty much everyone, lol. Nice charts!

[68corvette08]

Great job. Keep up the good work.

[gangster8101]

looks like a ton of fun

[todoz11]

wow the drums look insanely fun o_O

[REVULSIVE]

Awesome. There's been a serious lack of metal on the RBN lately.

[digitalblaze1]

great video
