Classic studio struggle. š¬š
Tracking the bass audio and running the camera at the same time is a dangerous game. @hanneshuke was so focused on the levels that he kept forgetting the camera was still rolling after every mistake!
Hereās a look at the ātechnical difficultiesā behind the scenes. Back to the final parts of the playthrough soon and then itās time for a new song, isnāt it?

Part 4 of my āSpirit Crusherā playthrough is all about the synergy. On this section, the bass is essentially shadowing the guitar lines, but with a punchier, more rhythmic articulation.
Thereās something incredibly satisfying about locking into that groove. It feels massive.
Playing this in Standard B with a pick gives it that extra percussive āclankā that makes these riffs hit even harder.

That unmistakable bridge intro š¤
Part 3 of the "Spirit Crusher" playthrough brings us to that legendary bridge. This is easily one of the most iconic bass moments in metal.
Even in Standard B with a pick, that signature "death" tension cuts right through.
The journey isnāt over yet - more snippets coming your way shortly.

The onslaught continuesā”ļø
Here is Part 2 of my playthrough for āSpirit Crusher.ā Iām still leaning into that aggressive pick attack and the heavy growl of the Standard B tuning. It definitely puts a different spin on those iconic riffs compared to the original, but the energy is undeniable.
Keep an eye out: more snippets coming your way soon!

Here is Part 1 of my playthrough for āSpirit Crusherā by @deathofficial
Huge thanks to everyone who guessed the track from my outtake video!
Doing things a bit differently than @sdglowend legendary fingerstyle: Iāve dropped the tuning to Standard B and Iām attacking this one with a pick for that extra grit.
Stay tuned, Iāll be dropping more snippets of this playthrough all through the next weeks!

Part 2: The Room Where She Died šø
Diving further into this track by @alissawhitegluz .
The music was composed by @oliver.palotai and @alissawhitegluz , and it has some really interesting transitions that keep the bass lines moving. Definitely a fun one to piece together.
I am very curious if @bluemedusamusic will add this to their live-set.
Full Playthrough: Coming to YouTube shortly.
More Tracks: Iāll be posting more of these soon.
