Best way to listen to black metal

Hello, I just made a recent discovery on the best way to listen to black metal. I was playing bass learning some songs and so I played some Philosofem era Burzum. I was listening to it through my headphone through my bass amp and decided to play along with the the song “Jesu Tod”. This being black metal I decided to use my boss metal zone pedal for this. I put my phone next to the pick up by accident and heard the music playing, I thought it was just the volume on the phone at first but then I tried it again and heard the music being played. I was the most god awful low quality thing I ever heard because my metal zone was still on. So naturally I start e q-ing it to get the “best sound”. I encourage you to try and it and see how it sounds.

Very interesting... So you distorted the song though what your pickups were sending to the amp? Ingenious, good sir!

GEAR:
  • sE Electronics V7
  • Fender Vintage Series '57 Stratocaster
  • Blank slot

Indeed, really gets the potato quality out there.
