Today, Toontrack announced the release of the Black Metal MIDI pack, a collection of drum grooves and fills in MIDI format for EZdrummer 1, EZdrummer 2 and Superior Drummer 2. This marks the concluding release for Toontrack’s 2016 Metal Month campaign.

Efraim Juntunen of Swedish black metal pioneers Naglfar takes you on board for a journey down the long and winding rapids of black metal drums. From the steady doom-like beats to the rampant, grinding tirades and violent outbursts in fills, Juntunen steers his vessel with one firm and central idea: keeping it simple and to the point.

“To me, a steady and consistent beat is key. A lot of times, I hear drummers go off and completely lose track of the song. Especially in a songwriting scenario, when all you’re looking for is the perfect beat, something too busy can be a real hurdle. I have intentionally left all of that out and made a collection of grooves tailored for songwriting,” he commented.
Just like on a canvas, it’s easier to add than to take away what’s already there. Start forging your next piece of black metal today.

  • Ah, I was hoping this would include some midi keyboard sounds, and perhaps a few reverbs like “grim necroforest” and “swedish bathroom with a tape recorder”

    • Hahaha! And IRs from crappy 90’s practice amps.
