      This is going to be a bit of a conservative opinion, but hear me out because i respect both sides of the conversation!

      I think the 2016 doom ost sucks. The way he made is original and kudos to him for doing it that way, but i found the end result boring.
      I like my metal, but not death metal. And this is what it sounded like to me. The same note over and over and no melody.
      That said : the following youtube meme is exactly what this conversation is about and both sides are a-ok!

      Edit : any way i can embed a video in lemmy?

        You understand the doom ost and make a good point, but I think you need to check out death metal with a better ear/bands.

        Not saying you gotta like it, but there’s a lot more notes. Maybe try revocation, it’s a solid middle of the road death metal band (a little tech, but all the instruments share regular as are the song structures)

        Go for “scorched earth policy”, that’s a banger.

      Sounds like he’s on board with a new studio, at least
