One man band?
I was wondering, is there any metal bands or anything at all with just one person in it? Like I mean where they make just CD's and play everything like drums, guitar, sing, etc? I am thinking about getting all this recording shit and doing that. What do you guy's think on this?

Yeah, reason I am thinking about doing this is because noone around here or anyone I know doesn't like death metal and all so I thought I might as well make my own shit up. I am into stuff like Led Zep and that old music and can get a band together for that but I wan't to do something myself for now with metal.

Go for it. Best thing about it is no one else is in the band. Only bad thing is that you can't play live unless you get friends to step in.

Yeah and I can do whatever the hell I wan't! lol. Yeah I wouldn't care about anything live or shows or nothing because I won't have the time for it or nothing, this will be something just for me to do at home and whatever else. I will have to get a few thousand bucks for the recording shit and all. Also I will need a new amp because mine is like 30 years old and it gets all fuzzy and screwed now so I need a new amp and a new guitar would be nice too.

ive heard two bands with one guy that i liked:
Oxiplegatz
Eternal Darkness
The Oxiplegatz guy, if im not mistaken is ex-At the gates, (i read it a long time ago so im not sure) I like his second release only though. The other stuff of his doesnt impress me. The Eternal Darkness guy plays LOTS of piano in his music, but it is still metal. His stuff has a Stormblast (dimmu) feel to it.
Ive recorded a few songs by myself. Which included, guitar 1+2, keyboards, vocals, and drums. not bass though. I like doing it, but it is pretty hard sometimes. And yeah, it sucks that you cant play live alone, or have a band to practice with. And on top of that, you have to write all the parts, which can be good, and bad (challanging)

Yeah only problem for me is the bass guitar. I can play bass is little but not too good at it and don't know how they do it in metal like what they do and all that other shit. So bass would be a damn problem.... I can maybe make it sound good with no bass. I forgot about that one though shit.....

absolutely right (well, up until daudi baldirs )
also, deinonychus started as a one-man band with main-man marco keren handling everything, but now he has a full band with him just doing vocals and guitars, perhaps you could do that. |

Ok I didn't realize this until I just downloaded spell of destruction but I had a cd with a lot of Burzum songs on it like war is one of them I am 99.9% sure. You can remember them because of the vocals.

go grab a burzum album then dude, you wont be disapointed  and your right you dont forget varg's early vocals that easily 
as for the no-bass comment, traditionally that would only sound good if you were doing a grindcore act, like the kill did so fantastically, or if you were gonna play really, really badly produced black metal, like more badly produced than normal. |

Amon Incarnate if i'm not mistaken is a 1 man band.
all i can think of
one man bands are a lot easier now then they use to be i'm sure. You don't necessarily need a bass either...guitar/drums/vocals you're set.

Necrophagist was a one man project only on "Onset of Putrefaction", and that's because everyone had either been fired or had to leave for other reasons, so Muhammed had to do it alone. He kicks ass, though. Also, he wouldn't fit the criteria very well because he doesn't play drums, and in fact, the whole "Onset of Putrefaction" album had drum machine tracks throughout, which I thought brought the album down from a perfect ten to like an 8.5.
Personally, I'm curious why he didn't put more of the songs off the demos on the first album. I have one of the demos, and Dismembered Self Immolation and Pseudopathological Vivisection are two of the best fucking death metal songs I have ever heard. He better put those on an album sooner or later! |

I saw a guy in Quebec who played Hotel California live, all by himself, with a guitar, drum, singing, and even a harmonica!
It even sounded pretty decent. He just looked a little bit silly. That will be me one day

NO. YOU NEED BASS.
A metal band is a body:
Singer:Head, (mouth, brain, etc.)
Guitars:Upper body (The stronger the riff, the stronger the band)
Bass:Spine (Keeps the music in order, acts as a balance between guitars and drums)
Drums:Legs (Faster the beat, the faster the song)

i dont see how you couldnt like burzum?
and balder's dřd was a pretty bad album but hildsjkalf (dont remember the spelling on that one) was pretty good, shorter songs. the remake of the crying ork (der weidenene hadnur or something) is even better than the guitar one
the vocals are the most emotional vocals ive ever heard in my life

I know very well about the lineups, I should have mentionned that it was in Onset...
I really can't say much about the music though. While he's an extrodinary technical talent, his music is so damned awful. Overtly wanky and cliched at times. I really hate the stuff. But I could see why people like it. |

I don't know any bands that do this. I was thinking about doing the exact same thing for the exact same things. I can even get a blues-rock outfit together just like you! But, I don't play drums. I have a lot of shit I wrote and recorded by myself where I used a MIDI drum machine but it just ain't the same. All well, I found some people. Just keep your hopes up, anything is possible.

maybe its a body, but in death metal bass is pretty irrelevant. you notice when its not there but its really not a big deal. the guitars are usually tuned down a bit, distorted, bass drums punding away, the bass just doesn't really mean much. it gets lost in the mix. if you want to use the body analogy, the drums are the spine. always the spine of all genres. without a good drummer, your band will sound like shit. nobody is there to keep time, without time and rhythm, everything is just a shitty slop of notes. bass is the legs: you'll notice if they're not there, but you can always use a wheelchair. |

This is a bit of a technicality, but Death's first album, 'Scream Bloody Gore' was done by Chuck alone. And isn't Bathory a one man show? Not too sure about that one, but that's what I was led to believe.
If you want real one man power though, you must submit to the man, the mountain: Bob Log!

Nice metaphor type thing, however i dont agree with the need a bass thing. because i believe that you dont need a bass guitarist.
But anyway ive been down the one man band road, its pretty fucked, and i made so many mistakes and wasted heaps of time. ill attempt it again evventually, i guess. |

You bastard.
If a bass sounds irrelevent on an album, it's the player's fault. Listen to Overkill. D.D. Verni is Overkill.

Bathory was a one man show. Not anymore though.

Bass is an equally important component of a band as guitar or drums. Listen to "...And Justice For All" and tell me otherwise.

That's very false. The bass adds a certain full bodied sound to the mix. It can compliment (Immolation's Ross Dolan) or add to (Death's Steve DiGiorgio) the guitar riffs. It's a HUGE part of the music. Not bigger nor smaller than the others.
It just happens to fall under the radar. |

What kind of mistakes did you make that I should probably look out for? I won't think of it as wasting my time though because it's not like I have anything else to do at the time being but also if I screw up then I will just learn from it and know not to do it again.

I wasn't speaking only of death metal. I was speaking generally. As for bass in death metal, it's more felt than heard. Without it, the guitars would sound mighty thin.

One man bands usually produce very good music, because they don't have to make any compromises about the music/lyrics. They just make the music for their own feelings, they don't have to listen anyone else about it (maybe that's why this is most common in Black Metal).
Varg Vikernes / BURZUM
Vidar Vaaer / ILDJARN
Rob Darken / GRAVELAND
Mikko A. / CLANDESTINE BLAZE
Wintherr / PAYSAGE D'HIVER
Vindsval / THE EYE
Meyhna'ch / MÜTIILATION
Malefic / XASTHUR
Unhold / LUROR
Widar / BILSKIRNIR
Phil Gresik / LONG VOYAGE BACK
L.F / KRISTALLNACHT
Paul Ledney / HAVOHEJ
Vratyas Vakyas / FALKENBACH

Either that, or listen to Atheist, Cynic, Watchtower, Necrophagist, Suffocation, or Cannibal Corpse. Those bands, while awesome, would be lost without an excellent bassist to back them up. |

Yeah, its old, but its good.
You don't need a bass. Pig Destroyer does fine.
But you want a bassist. Trust me. Some people like to make it sound as if a bassist is absent, then a guitarist and drummer literally cannot play their instruments. This is never the case, but a band always sounds better with a bassist. You just can't beat a 135-gauge string with an amp made to handle it. Some bands like Pig Destroyer always sound fucking heavy live, as Scott Hull has taken to using an Ampeg 8x10 cab as part of a bi-amped rig with two Aphex Aural Exciters ( all channels, mind you ) driving the 8x10. It'll be very heavy and present, sure, but its not going to sound like Disgorge or Devourment live.

since i have an addition to the two i listed two years ago...
wintersun on self title (minus drums)
falkenbach was already mentioned
mirrorthrone
and Nazgul might as well be one man because Zakrathor does the keyboards, drums, and vocals. the keyboards are the only real importance in their sound. its like a classical composer making sympnonic black, fantasy, epic, medieval, battle metal. that made me laugh (and it was an eidt), but all apply
