Favorite One-Man Band
Original post

What is a one-man band might you ask?
well... its a band who consist of only 1 member. I think bands like that are great since you can clearly hear one's tought expressed through music without any contradictions. surely there are lots of 1 man bands that are very suckish but still I think one man bands are more suitable for Black Metal.
My Favorite band at the moment is Ad Hominem. With its war like riffs and and black atmosphere.
I am also alot into Kristallnacht and Satanic Warmaster aswell.
EDIT: I didn't really know where to put this thread so I decided to put it here even if most one man band are BM I am speaking of one man bands in general.

Written by -Soulreaper- on 19.11.2008 at 17:05 Huh  What is so hard to understand about the concept of a one-man-band? Last time I checke that means that ONE person writes and PLAYS all the music him/herself on an album. If Old Man's Child (in your case) and Ayreon are one-man-bands then so is Frank Zappa

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 19.11.2008 at 17:10 Well I suppose you are right...I just looked at the line-ups for their albums and didnt know that there were actual members on some albums. I just thought that it was session drummers. My mistake

Ayreon, Old's man Child are great bands, but IMO they are not One-mand bands because they have guest Musicians. One-man band must have only ONE musician that composse and play all the instruments. My Vote goes to Falkenbach. But Burzum and Bathory are great too

I wonder how would he play live as a one man band. He must has the drums on his back guitar in his hand and then sings. I wonder how he plays the bass guitar live.

Burzum might be the most infeuental one man band ever, Varg is a genius and the music he made influenced so many bands in so many diffrent geners i think burzum would be my favorite

Graveland, Woodtemple, Satanic Warmaster, Falkenbach and Burzum are all great bands. Also Xasthur and Old Man's Child are really good (if they count as one man bands  ).

Toxic Holocaust is probably my favorite, but its the only one i can recall besides ones already mentioned so there are probably more.

Probably Ayreon, Iced Earth and Megadeth are some of my favorite "one-man bands". Arjen makes such beautiful music, Jon is and outstanding songwriter and guitarist, Dave is also a great songwriter and guitarist. Sometimes and with some musicians the One-Man band idea works very, very well while with most it simply just isn't up to scratch. I guess you could say one-man albums can be very hit and miss because you are basing the music on one persons interpritation. Sometime they get it right and it is amazing, but most not completely right.

Velvet Acid Christ. Granted it's not metal but it's got a ton going on, it's amazing work and he pulls off stuff in the music that is pretty unexpected. It does work. It's really really well thought out dark industrial.
