Swedish Style Melodic Death Metal Riffs

[Hangnail87]

Melo-death \m/ good riff man (from sweden)

[stilgottheblues]

Not bad dude....but it could be.

[ChromeCelica00]

@TheHalamadridboy Yes!

[bodomterror92]

sorry dint like it..!!!

[Perfixesus]

Märkligt att just denna videon har sämst ljud.... Men jäkligt bra för att va death metal! (Själv hatar jag just death metal, men all annan metal funkar typ! XD)

[trippychannel420]

that was beautiful

[ChromeCelica00]

@trippychannel420 Thanks!

[dakotamanomgwtf]

Technically it is Death Metal because Swedish Death Metal was a very melodic style of DM but this is a little more melodeath than Swedish Death metal. But who cares, Nice job

[ChromeCelica00]

@dakotamanomgwtf Thanks, if you haven't seen my re-done version of this, make sure to click the annotation in the video!

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@ChromeCelica00 Yeah I watched it a couple minutes later actually it's nice to ear the higher quality!

[ChromeCelica00]

@dakotamanomgwtf Awesome =)

[TasteForDisaster]

do you own a marshall amp?

[SycamoreHill14]

fucking awesome.

[ChromeCelica00]

@SycamoreHill14 Thanks! Be sure to watch the newer better quality version posted in the annotation

[xarxiusxiii]

Nice, I like it! The first part reminds me of Iced Earth's 1776 :P

[IIlIIIl]

not my genre but, hey! great stuff!

[TheBlackDuty]

what tuning? Great line - keep on. i´ve been listing to your 2011 version - just great shit dude..

[mynameisrenegoupil]

wHY DONT ALL YOU PEOPLE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, STOP WASTING YOUR TIME LEAVING BAD COMMENTS AND ADMIRE THE TALENT!

GOOD STUFF MAN! LOVIN` IT! YOU HAVE A GIFT THAT PEOPLE SADLY CANT APPRECIATE BECAUSE THEY`RE TOO BUSY BITCHING ABOUT SHIT LIKE YOUR STRAP BEING UP HIGH!

SO WHEN YOU`RE MAKING GOOD CASH OFF THIS AMAIZING MUSIC, I HOPE YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THESE STUPID PEOPLE, AND TELL THEM THEY CAN GO FUCK THEM SELFS!

HOPE YOU MAKE IT BIG MAN! GOOD LUCK!

[ChromeCelica00]

@mynameisrenegoupil hahaha thank you! It's quite alright man, no worries! Thanks again.

[mynameisrenegoupil]

@ChromeCelica00 lol I actualy didnt even mean it to be all in Caps! but yeah man! What kind of guitar is that by the way... I cant quite tell, my monitor`s coulors are messed up and its super dark! :P

[ChromeCelica00]

@mynameisrenegoupil It's ok haha, it's a Schecter Omen 6, but I now have a c1 Hellraiser, a nice step up!

[groovymoustach]

listen to his playing! who gives A FUCK HOW HIGH HIS GUITAR IS OR WHAT GENRE IT IS JUST FUCKIN LISTEN

[grrumpff]

for the record, melodeath and death metal are not very closely related...

Dont argue about what genre this is, just enjoy his playing.

[raiderrc64]

this is melodic death metal assholes.

[MrPstav]

i really like this kind of music but i just cant compose songs like those although my black metal and death metal songs fuck the way according to the people that have heard em.... craps seems like ill just keep on enjoying !

[Plektrum4]

yeaaaah i live in sweden! you should check out a band called Sonic syndicate! also from sweden!

[CadaverKevin]

Why do you wear your guitar so high? Your not in the Beatles, lol, Good stuff though

[ChromeCelica00]

@CadaverKevin I don't wear it high for the look, it's comfortable for me. If I make it any lower, it hurts my left wrist

[caseyguitarist]

@ChromeCelica00 you get used to it and eventually the pain goes mines down in front of my balls so it looks good and it doesn't change the playing quality

[ShnHonour]

@ChromeCelica00 Damn me too :)

[SpaceDude3600]

@CadaverKevin Lolwut. That's not even high

[CosmosUnorthodox]

@CadaverKevin people who hang their guitars/bass' low to look cool are gaytards. look at metallica's bassist...gaytard.

[WrathchildSteven]

I can practically hear the skank beats and Michael Stanne's whispery growl.

Great job, man.

12 outta 10.

[blackgoetia]

always playin the kick ass riffs my friend

[SerenityInHatred]

This is melo death, you stupid YOYOYO 666 DEATH METAL ONLY fans should start to use your brain. There's no such thing as "MELODIC METAL" lol

[noscopegod]

I don't know why people are trying to say its far from death metal.... do they not realize that this is what MELODIC death metal sounds like? Also...the title says Swedish Style MELODIC Death metal riffs. It can't be a melodic death metal riff if it isn't melodic.... so yeah... this is melodic death metal... sorry to all you faggots who can't read titles of videos. Fucking retards.

[matchoow2004]

get over yourself soldier,this guy has fucking chops,the end

[cup0soup]

dude metal as ill get out fuck these fucks who r regular jerkoffs they obviously have to much cock in ther asses to hear correctly

[rouncer81]

thats so sweet.

[soldier6665]

@MetalDeathKnight you dont have a fucking clue

[soldier6665]

then dont name it death metal riffs...... and stop being so defensive .... its so unbecoming

[ChromeCelica00]

@soldier6665 I'll name it whatever I want, sir. I'm defensive because I'm tired of hearing this from people, it's not DEATH METAL, it's melo death, via In Flames, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility style. unbecoming..lol that's a first =)

[MelodicRazor]

@soldier6665 why do you even bother to argue with this guy? He creates epic melo death riffs and sorry what can you play?

[soldier6665]

the ABSOLUTE FURTHEST THING FROM DEATH METAL...

[ChromeCelica00]

@soldier6665 No shit. It's In Flames style Swedish Melodic Death Metal. I'm not the one who made up the genres, nor do I really care what this is, I'm just playing random melodic stuff

[9MAGGOT4LIFE]

@soldier6665 and that just goes to show you know nothing about Swedish melodic death metal.

[schismforthesoul]

@soldier6665 Retard read the title "Swedish Style Melodic Death Metal" There is a difference but clearly your uneducated ass has no idea about different genres in metal, especially origins from all the awesome Scandinavian countries. You probably listen to nu-metal and think thats death metal, go listen to some Slipknot and jump on your bed even though your parents downstairs are politely asking you to keep it down and to wash your hands because dinner will be ready in 10 minutes.

[MYGUNMYCITY]

i got some strings that are .012 .052 and there called jazz light gauge are those good for drop B C or A?

[Dragonforceaddict202]

Chrome critisized one of my songs :D

i was honored just to have him watch it

[DescentFromHeaven]

you using any backing tracks?

[ChromeCelica00]

@DescentFromHeaven I recorded 2 other guitar parts on my computer yes, and played with it

[ced5200]

awesome i need to play that :O can you send me the tabs pleass :O

[jedimastergarcia87]

Nice What string did you use for the lead? The second string? I may write a short riff like this but in my own pattern. I'm into death metal now. At The Gates is y favorite death metal band, even though they are old, lol. Blinded By Fear and Slaughter Of The Soul is my favorite songs from them.

[axelboy420]

it sounds like ensiferum 

[7Hardcore7Christian7]

sounds sweet

[ChromeCelica00]

@7Hardcore7Christian7 thanks!

[X6xMetalHeadx9X]

@ChromeCelica00

really like this. just a quick ?. what pedal do you use for distortion. was just wondering how you get so much attack and clean sharp sound outta your top end? been tweaking my sound for a while now and i can never get my top end to sound how i want it to.

[rhcp4565]

dude i would totally get this on my i pod if i could....fucking insane man

[rhcp4565]

dude i would totally get this on my i pod if i could....fucking insane dude

[Cbeezy333]

...haha, i know my shit trust me, im not like most douch bags spilling there retardation online...im not hating on the sound. although its kinda like a watered down in flames...needs more speed (as in two step and blasting) and more technicality to be on the death metal side...Kalmah, At the gates, black dahlia, arsis, darkane...shit like that is more like real melodic death metal..ive seen some of your other vids. to so im not just judging from this video alone. peace

[ChromeCelica00]

@Cbeezy333 I hear what you're saying, this is pretty old, and yes inspired by In Flames, you don't always need speed though, but thanks for the criticism, I'll be working on newer things soon.

[blackened138]

@Cbeezy333 The melody sounds like it could have been straight out of a kalmah song... especially with the guitar tone in this video (and switch flipped to bridge pickups)

[Cbeezy333]

...more like melodic metal...not melodic DEATH METAL

[ChromeCelica00]

@Cbeezy333 Well I intend it on being Melodic Death Metal with other surrounding elements such as vocals synth and the drums of course, right now you can't really judge.

[blackened138]

@Cbeezy333 It's whatever he intends it to be. Usually I might be inclined to agree with you here because most people writing riffs on here don't know dick about metal classification, but he's not stupid. He's Chrome... He knows he wants growling and death grunts over the guitars.

[tips000]

@Cbeezy333 oh yeah because its so important that he labels his sub sub genre right... seriosly... why come in here, watch some very talented guitar playing, and complain about one FUCKING word... this guy is good... metal is metal... all of the sub genre labels are bullshit to me... this deserves nothing but compliments

[ChromeCelica00]

@tips000 Thanks for the support, there will always be criticism, but I believe with the finished products, there will be a lot less.

[Cbeezy333]

@tips000 "im not like most douch bags spilling there retardation online" you are one of these douch bags im refering to.

[FEAR853]

Cool^^ simple and sounds good O_o

[UntilYouFail]

Yay, I own this guitar too :)

[ChromeCelica00]

@UntilYouFail =)

[JacksonX94]

do you have tabs for this one by any chance? It's a great riffs reminds me of Hammerfall alittle

[ChromeCelica00]

@JacksonX94 Thanks! I do not have tabs though, I'm sorry!

[isoptija]

AMAZINGGGG :))))

[ambidextrous21]

what tuning are you using?

[ChromeCelica00]

@ambidextrous21 Honestly I don't remember, Drop something...one of those haha

[cccollinn]

sounds like ensiferum kind of

[TheBlackOctane]

i like this riff very much :)

[Mettwustbroetchen]

way to silence for melo death but i like the riff it´s an awesome riff ^^

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Good!!! Forever music!!!

[yroslav]

How do you come up with your riffs ? First the rhytem and than lead ? or what 

[ChromeCelica00]

@yroslav Sometimes that way, sometimes the other way around, really don't have a certain method, I just pick up my guitar and whatever happens happens haha

[kitsne]

POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[guschamber]

alright dude,i'm done with adding the bass and drums,tis your song so i figured just keep it straight and not do more damage to ya song..i tried to upload but youtube keeps sending an error message..be workin on gettin it onto youtube..hang tight dude..be up soon

cheers..

[ChromeCelica00]

@guschamber that's awesome!

[shigafriga]

dude can you tabe this

[zaksgannaeatyou]

reminds me of dethklok. very good though.

[90swil]

hate this kinda stuff

[kingherold47]

I wouldn't call this "Death Metal" more of Nu Metal-ish.

Still EPIC though =P

[ChromeCelica00]

@kingherold47 It's Melodic Death Metal, like In Flames style...not Death Metal, glad you enjoy!

[kingherold47]

*searches In Flames*

ah, I saw Death Metal and thought Impending Doom or Devil Wears Prada.

Just as good though =)

[moe5512]

@kingherold47 hmm, devil wears prada is metalcore...and that is faaaaar from death metal

[kingherold47]

@moe5512 waitwut? The stuff I've heard from them was much harder than Metalcore, I guess that means I need to listen to more of their stuff =P

{I should really know from Becoming The Archetype not to judge a band by a few songs}

[Corruptedinfernal]

I don't really think that short hair is good in metal, but idrgaf about you, cuz you make some pretty sick guitar riffs. I'm jealous =) I play guitar too btw, I'm pretty good as well ><

[ChromeCelica00]

@Corruptedinfernal haha yeah hair doesn't matter, it's how you play! Thanks!

[DJfish101]

tabs pl0x?

[sheshdd]

sounds great man,any chances of adding drums and the rest of the instruments?

[ChromeCelica00]

@sheshdd Probably not, I made this a while ago, but who knows, it could come up in a song or something!

[guschamber]

@ChromeCelica00 dude i could add the drums and bass,maybe possibly another guitar

[ChromeCelica00]

@guschamber Do whatever you want, that would be cool!

[guschamber]

@ChromeCelica00 alright buddy,i'll add the essentials and post it as a response..cheers

[ChromeCelica00]

@guschamber That would be cool, might be tough with the timing but, would be cool to see what you come up with!

[pennstateyo]

In Flames!

[Judoking96]

do you use scales and theory to come up with these?

or do you just play around the neck till you come up with something catchy?

because i know little to no theory and i can write songs every now and then, but i want to be able to come up with them consistantly like you do

[ChromeCelica00]

@Judoking96 I just mess around with ideas until I like something usually, I don't know much theory at all, I really want to learn though.

[antiemoyregeton666]

sounds epic hell yess bro

[ChromeCelica00]

@demmpa95 It's an option you get to decorate your channel with extra stuff if you are a Partner on Youtube

[MrTagger101]

what song is that called

[Crucifiedknot]

Lol some of your melodic ideas are good enough to make it big xD. You should deff tab these out :D

[fluffmiester20]

dude your riffs are the shit ive watched many of them and im a huge metal fan i love the sound of metal riffs could you please send me some tabs

[diceasd]

@ chromecelcia00

how do you get so famous?

[ChromeCelica00]

@diceasd I'm famous? When did that happen? haha

I just posted videos for a few years now and marketed myself a little to some metal fans on Youtube.

[hottaco11]

cuz he is so good that Makemebad35 likes him so he supports his videos.

[immmhu]

not as good as the other one

[jedimastergarcia87]

This riff is awesome too! Best to me so far. You should form a band if you haven't or thought about it yet, you'd be good. Get tabs for this one also if you haven't.

[brabus266]

GR8 ....Have you got tabs ?

[i0drink0milk]

dude ... i will come to your home and then we make you a new room xD

anyway, awsome riff :D

[TheDarkHell89]

nice dude, your riff is awesome

[wetstuffing]

nice dude you should start up a band or something

[kprocker9]

this sounds like it should be in a movie.... like when the super hero is in a epic battle,,,,,,,, =) its good dude!

[uberzorretje]

@kprocker9 indeed!

[guitargodlol]

how do you come up with these riffs?

[ChromeCelica00]

Just sitting around playing guitar for hours...I try to come up with catchy melodies and rhythms to go with them.

[BenJohan6]

@guitargodlol yeah, if you just paly noyhing in paticular, you could find something! It takes a while 4 me but, if u work at it, youll get it

[guitargodlol]

omg this is amazing, it sounds like somthing you would hear in an awesome adventure game :L

[pieces4809]

what distortion do u use. ur sound is so different from what ive heard. its nice

[JonnyLDepree]

right dude its good but its far from melodic death metal tbh

[ChromeCelica00]

@JonnyLDepree I really don't see how, it sounds like old In Flames to me, and they are melo death

[WenchesandMead]

@ChromeCelica00 yeah I'd say it was melodeath... awesome riff man

[findanewgoddd]

VVchinstrapVV keep it up brahhh

[PinoyCrackerBoyz]

wuts ur guitar tuned to?

[ChromeCelica00]

@PinoyCrackerBoyz I think it might have been Drop B in this video, I don't really remember.

[VitorThePower]

i have the same guitar (:

[ChromeCelica00]

Just using a 15 watt Marshall, no switches or effects, thanks! And yes, Omen 6

[FrikkFelix]

This is good. In Flames is the best band on earth

[Deathmetalking95]

what tuning is this?

[nightwhatchman]

Nice, this osunds like somethoing that could be from the old Gothenburg scene. I really love those bands. Other than In Flames who else do you like? Personally I like At The Gates best when it comes to Gothenburg music.

[ChromeCelica00]

I'm not heavily into ATG but they are definitely a great band...I like Soilwork, Blinded Colony, and other random Melodic bands that might not be labeled as melo death but definitely influence me in my playing..i put them all in my profile

[nightwhatchman]

Quick response haha.

Yeah. Another one I also like is Dark Tranquility. Now that I think about it your stuff actually reminds me a lot of DT's stuff, I think you could probably fit into that band alot. And yeah Soilwork is awesome too.

[ChromeCelica00]

Yeah a lot of people say the same thing about DT haha, thanks man

[mdpblitz]

makes me wanna bleed some metal!!! shredd on! i'm learning more all the time

[tonypuff]

hay great riffs and i was wondering what is the best tuning for melodic death i play in drop a and b what do you use and if you have a site hjow to tune to it i only know drop d b c and a

[ChromeCelica00]

Yeah those are usually the tunings I use, other than drop d

[wereboarder2009]

how the hell does this guy sound ANYTHING like dethklok????

to me he's got more of a trivium/bfmv sound

i jes gotta say......you harmonize like a GOD

\m/-.-\m/

[ChromeCelica00]

ah please no more bfmv...

old in flames, yes, and maybe a little trivium but not too much.

[CreeCore94]

what about skyfire? man those guys rule!!

[gimppower003]

sounds chrome-ish, lol gj, love all your songs man

[thejesterraceisbest]

What is it with people saying this sounds like that all the time? It sounds like something good, the end.

[Shad0wZoneProduction]

sounds more like trivium a little

[BaseballGod710]

also this is very dethklok-ish

i love it

[CJ101nicKA]

yeah i was just thinking of that...the rhythm sounds almost similar to the song I tamper with the evidence at odins murder site, while the lead reminds me of thunderhorse and bloodrocuted somehow xD

[looshkin69]

kind of reminded me of go into the water

[CJ101nicKA]

yeah almost but the tempos just a little faster...thats why i didnt name go into the water.

[BaseballGod710]

i love you...and im not gay

[ChromeCelica00]

lol, thanks!

[megadethfans96]

like cob and norther

[licky1994]

tabs plz :D

[ilovestinalots]

sounded verry power metal to me

[Ehxsan]

Nice riff, But poor recording.

[BlackDeathWolf]

In Flames are Very Much so Very Fucking Nice Good !! \,m/

[blobbyo101]

thats kool but not very death metal

[ChromeCelica00]

It's Melodic Death Metal, not Death Metal

[netherreject]

This really is not melodic death metal or death metal. And all of the people posting comments comparing death metal to bands like "Avenged Sevenfold" are completely wrong. I doubt any of you actually know what true death metal is or even black metal. The bands now suck. Period. They are not metal. Canada is pretty much the only place that still has death metal bands. I really am getting tired of explaing metal to people. You guys should just research it and listen to GOOD music. Not pussycore.

[netherreject]

Oh and I did not mean any of that offensively. I also do not mean to talk bad about the skill or knowledge of the guitarist in the video. I am just stating that what he is playing and the bands that are being named are not, in any form, death metal. The riff he played was, in it's own rights, good. It was not that original, but it was still pleasant. If any of you would like to hear an actual death metal song all you have to do is ask. I seem like an asshole, but I'm not much of one.

[julianEZ890]

im interested in what you have to say about current bands. would you care to name some "bad" death metal and then name some of your "good" death metal? just curious

[netherreject]

I would be glad to man, but first, I need for you to list off bands that you consider to be death metal. I do not want to embarrass or "call you out" man. I do not want to start a huge fight. This is strictly informational and friendly. If you could make a list of, what you consider to be, death metal bands than it will be easier for me to get an idea of where you are at (so I do not look like an idiot myself. Haha.) It is interesting to see how many people incorrectly place bands into genres.

[julianEZ890]

I guess i would say Cannibal Corpse,The Faceless,Abominable Putridity,I Declare War,Disfiguring the Goddess,Whitechapel

(kinda?)...cant think of any at the moment...

[netherreject]

Cannibal Corpse is pretty good. The Faceless is is eh. I don't like them much. Abominable Putridity is more grindcore to me man. Terrible vocals. "Bri bri." Noooo.... Haha. More hardcore-ish. I Declare War is more post hardcore. Disfiguring the Goddess is Deathcore. And so is White Chapel. So far, the only actual Death Metal band you have listed is Cannibal Corpse.

[netherreject]

As for actual Death Metal bands: Carcass, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Obituary, Death, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Suffocation, Necrophagist, Cancer, Nile. Those are just a few examples man.

[Kitae155]

Uhhh.... I Declare War is not post hardcore. You realize Post Hardcore is more like old-Hawthorne Heights when Casey was alive and screaming? Yea', post hardcore is more singing & shit than all the growls and shit... I Declare War seems to me more like metal core. They aren't quite death to me. Metalcore...

[invulnerable23]

Thank you. But that's not to say this guy's riff sucks. It's just not "Death Metal".

[netherreject]

Exactly. I am not saying that his riff sucks. In it's own genre, the nature are progression of this riff is nice. But, like I said, it is not death metal.

[shitfacedguy]

don't see how that is BFMV, i would say more avenged senvenfold.

[SixKindsOfDead]

Cool, I likes it. Awesome, well done.

[xBurzurkurx]

This could most definetly be made into a full song, a really great on at that. Sounds really awesome.

[mario901LO]

Ohh Bro !

Its fantastic, man! You're feels this rythm , and You've got really amazing skill. 5/5 !

[RonnehLex]

wow thats really awesome :O ill be honest i love the melodies here =o im gonna go try to write some stuff like this =o very good job

[OnsetOfPutrefaction]

i hear old in flames influence- lunar strain/subterranean type of deal

[baphomed1991]

sounds more like bullet for my valentine to me
