If this was the music they played at church, I would go every Sunday

I aspire to play bass like Dylan Desmond. I don't think a lot of people realize how hard it is to play the way he does. The bass is a huge instrument and to TAP low chords with one hand blows my mind. Every time I need inspiration I watch or listen to his playing.

The most amazing part of this is he's playing 2 parts at the same time on the same bass. That amount of talent and precision blows my mind

Playing those parts is not that hard at this speed, it's more of a trick. Writing them is pretty hard though - you have to imagine how those will work together etc.

@@ondrasukdol6654 well, it does require a lot of strength tho. it's a different type of precision you need for shredding or doing that AAL type of fast tapping, but it's still precision; you need a strong hand and a lot of precise control of your fingers and arm muscles. let's not forget the man isn't just tapping single notes here, he's tapping chords on the lower strings of a 6 string bass and they're coming out super resonant, that is not very easy. this guy's finger tips could pbbly stop bullets.

Says the guy sitting in the audience

I love how everyone is loving on Dylan, which is deserved, but no one is talking about that drummer. Keeping time in such a slow time signature, and doing those growls, that's not easy. I'd say he's a talented guy as well.

I saw them live recently and there was this beautiful slow organ in most parts of the set, I was blown away when I realized the drummer was playing the organ with his feet while doing the drum parts. Crazy ass dudes

Wouldn't believe this band didn't have guitars if I haven't read about and seen it myself. Modern masters of Doom. Great live vocals too!

I really love what Jesse brings to the sound of the band, but man, do I miss Adrian. RIP in peace Adrian Guerra, you were a gift to music for everyone and forever.

Do it. I bought one for a similar reason, watching Al Cisneros play in Om. It's just as fun as they make it look.

I got to meet Dylan briefly after they opened for Sleep in Portland in 2018. Very easy going, humble guy. I thanked him for coming to town and how much I appreciated what they do. I think it takes a lot of courage and self-discipline and patience to stand on stage with 2 guys and not fill the empty space with flash or performative things. Truly unique.

Recently discovered the band out of pure accident. Now I'm hooked. 😍

So great to see a live performance from Bell Witch where nobody in the crowd is talking - too many times I've seen footage where rude fuckers in the crowd ruin it. Thanks for this amazing upload 👍

I like Jesse's low growls, and he sure hits hard!

Atmospheric dark and haunting... 👍👍👍👍👍👍

He has too have some strong ass fingers to be tapping chord in the other hand and playing melody in the other hand. Super difficult to do aswell. Combined with the difficulty of keeping time whilst playing slow music like this.

As a black metal head I love my blastbeats but this is impressive and mesmerizing. Good very heavy stuff!

Probably just nerves, or keeping the fingers loose. He could also be lightly touching or strumming those strings to keep it vibrating so the note sustains longer?
