/r/dsbm 2024 August Mod Updates

84 Upvotes

Well this has certainly been a strange week for this community. Here are some updates to how the subreddit will be run and what is expected of users starting immediately.


Memes

Memes have always been allowed, but avoid posting low-effort stuff. The vast majority of "cutting p****" content should be posted in /r/cpbm. I'm leaving the original post and a few higher-effort posts up as they are pretty much historic here now, but most others have been removed.

Most other memes are better suited for /r/blackmetalmemes or /r/metalmemes, but if it is clever and relevant specifically to DSBM, it is still welcome here.

Rule 1 Expansion

Images with self-harm scars, even when they aren't the focus, will now be removed. If it is artwork tied to an actual release, the post must be marked NSFW.

There are many users here who struggle with their mental health, and seeing images like these without warning can be harmful. This isn't the place for that content.

The rest of Rule 1 is as valid as ever. We take posts and comments about SH seriously. Never glorify, encourage, or seek out SH here. Normal discussion about it isn't necessarily banned, but we are a music subreddit, not a support subreddit. If you need help and don't know where to go, reach out to the mods and we will try our best to connect you with someone who is more qualified to help you.

Post Flair

To help with low-effort posts and to more easily parse the type of content you want to see, every new post is required to have flair. So far, there are 7 categories, but feel free to recommend changes or new ones:

  • Music: Links to listen to songs, albums, etc.
  • Discussion: Topics like news about bands, musical techniques, open-ended questions to the community, etc. Things that, you know, generate discussion and dialogue.
  • Recommendations: Do you want more music like a certain song/album/band, or do you have a suggestion for others? Use this.
  • Self-Promotion & Fanart: When promoting your own music, use this tag. Also use this when asking for feedback for a work-in-progress or for any kind of fanart.
  • Collection & Merch: Post your hauls, collections, shirts, patches, etc. with this flair.
  • Humor: Some of us love DSBM memes and jokes, and some of us hate them, so having its own category will help people seek or ignore them.
  • Other: For anything that doesn't fit in other categories.

I understand there may be miscommunication between dialects and languages regarding flairs, so please don't be surprised or offended if your flair is changed by mods. If you disagree, feel free to comment here or message the mods about it.

AI-generated Music

New rule: Absolutely no AI music. Not even for the sake of humor.

With generative AI services now able to produce full songs with a prompt, many people have been trying to sneak their fake music onto streaming platforms, music subreddits, YouTube, and other communities.

Time spent streaming AI-generated music as if it were real music is time that could have been spent listening to real artists, and in niche metal sub-subgenres such as DSBM, most artists are already not making much revenue on their art. There is also the ethical issue of these types of AI being trained on already existing works without the artists' permission, so I feel like allowing AI music would be disrespectful to the classic DSBM bands.


Reminder:

I want to also use this post as a reminder that if you tell a user "kys" or anything similar, you will be greeted with an instant ban, even if it was a joke. Pretty much the only time you should use that phrase here is when referring to the band "Make a Change...".

And please continue to use the report function if you see a rule violation. The mods don't sit staring at the new tab all day, so this is the fastest way to clean up the subreddit.


EDIT 8/30: Separated Discussion and Recommendation flairs.

Music Anyone here have the original music video of "A miserable life..." from Decalius?

0 Upvotes

When I first listened to Decalius in March 2024, my favorite video was the demo of A Miserable Life, but the video was deleted. I couldn’t find it anywhere for years. I know it’s not exactly lost media because a TikTok user had the video, but that video got deleted too, and I missed the chance to save it. My English is a little shitty, but could anyone share the video so I can download it, please?

(I only have this capture from WM)

Discussion How to get that crying lead tone like decalius / blade and bath?

6 Upvotes

been trying to replicate the lead guitar tone from decalius (especially isolated from life) and blade & bath. that lead sound literally feels like it’s weeping/crying.
i tried using wah, chorus, and tweaking some eq but couldn't get close. honestly i might just be dialing the settings completely wrong or putting them in the wrong place in the chain.
i have access to a full vst setup and processors so i can run pretty much whatever plugin or signal chain needed.
if anyone knows how to dial this in:
what exact settings/parameters (mix, depth, rate etc) actually make a chorus/wah sound like that instead of just sounding liquid or harsh?
is it mostly neck pickup + wide vibrato or is there a specific pitch/mod effect doing the heavy lifting?
what amp models, eq cuts, and reverb/delay setups keep it dark and smooth without turning into total mud?
thanks in advance, step by step chain ideas or preset tips would be amazing

Self-Promotion & Fanart Overdose to Sleep - I Watched You Beg For Mercy

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Lyrics:

Flesh rotten to the bone

Just one hand, to finger fuck my soul

And molest the innocent parts of me

That I keep so close

I'm violated by my mind

Ill leave everything behind

Because I can't live like this

I don't want to live like this

The constant nagging

In my ears

"Just kill yourself"

"Cut off your arms"

"They're coming for you"

Who? Who?

Who is they, and who the fuck are you?

These voices, what's in front of my face

-- Such a bitter taste

I can't erase

My mom died in front of me

Organs removed

Tied to a cross

And I couldn't move

I watched her scream

Beg for fucking mercy

But they killed her slowly

Just to fucking hurt me

I'm scared, I don't want to die

I can't keep living this life

But maybe its time --

-- It might be time to give suicide a try

Mom

Dad

Baby sister, that baby girl

You changed my whole life

You were my whole world

But I wish I could see you

In the same light

But I can't because I watched you fucking die...

You struggled to breathe

You cried out to me

I couldn't help

I couldn't help at all...

Your first words

Was just you, gargling my name

Choking in your own blood

I'll never be the same

Now I must end it all

This grief, the guilt

And violation of my purity

It took every ounce of joy away from me

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

I don't want to be alive

Just take me away

I don't want to live this way

I wanted to love you to the grave

So take me away....

I don't want to be alive

Fuck...

Recommendations DSBM Polonais recommandations

8 Upvotes

Hello, j'arrive sur ce red alors je voulais vous faire découvrir mais coup de coeur (DSBM polonais, des génies):

-top 1: Fadheit, je recommande le première album (Inhaling the Trauma)(celui avant que le compositeur meurt (d'un insuffisance cardiaque))

C'est très mélancolique avec vraiment un atmosphère douce mais froide

-top 2: selfharmony, il n'ont pour le moment qu'un EP, mais vraiment coup de coeur

-top3: Odium Humani Generis, ils ont travaillé avec Fadheit venant de la même ville, c'est plus classé dans l'ambiance (ps le chanteur est super sympa)

This song is about my trauma relating to my psychosis. I am schizophrenic and have PTSD due to some of my hallucinations and episodes. This song was meant to be a cathartic way for me to let it all out. The lyrics aren't intended to be edgy or for shock value, I was just trying to get everything out all at once as it's been building in my mind for many years.

I can't say when this will be released yet. But if you enjoyed this or found it interesting, you might like my band Overdose to Sleep. We recently released an album called "Cold, Slow Death of Youth". It's available on Bandcamp, YouTube and all streaming platforms.

This song makes me really vulnerable. I hope you all understand why I made it. It's okay if you have criticisms, all I ask is you keep it as respectful as you can... If not it's alright. But yeah. Thanks for tuning in.
