Vildhjarta - Måsstadens Nationalsång (Under Vatten) (Guitar Cover)

Playing a Blackmachine B6 inspired custom 7-string (27") built by a Finnish luthier Juho Manninen.

Modified 5150 rig to suit the ash/maple combination, works quite well on playthroughs but still pretty harsh and unforgiving on its own. Also made a simple footswitch with my brother to change the rig (-1 & -2) for the outro. Using BKP Aftermath pickups and D'addario NYXL (11-64) strings. Dual tracked with Kemper (XLR) and MOTU 8pre. 100% pan (L-R) and added ~22hz low cut in FL Studio. A lot of obvious edits concerning additional noises for overall clarity.

Tuning is all fourths with drop C: C G C F A# D# G# + 6th string tuned down to E at 01:10

That manual pitch shift was such a fuckin flex

[Calamitous]

No point covering a Vild song once Krisse has done it hahaha

[Mason_____]

I cant understand the fact you aren't wringing your neck headbanging while absolutely slaughtering this monolithic song. 500/10

Can't stop replaying the down-tuning part. Insane

[Hell_Inc]

I’m always amazed how low you can go with such light strings. Amazing playing, amazing tone, amazing everything.
Congrats on the new guitar!

When Kris cover something you know its Vild and you know it will be WILD as well

[BlessureK]

I've been a big 'hjarta fan since the early demos and regardless of how many times I listen to this song, every single time I hear 0:30 - 0:57 I can't help but smile and tear up a bit. Especially at the new part at 0:48 and the small rest after the open low string note. It gives me such a beautiful feeling. It's like I'm looking back at the baby photos of Traces and seeing how it's grown up to now and feeling pride and love for it. It holds so much nostalgia and reminds me of how beautiful it is to be alive.

[Mokeysurfer]

That manual tune half way through just blew my mind. Absolutely incredible. Your playing is a pleasure to watch. Keep it up.

[bastian]

I've never seen another guitarist than myself that upstrokes the low string to eliminate pitch drift. Amazing cover

[CarlMcCann]

That 64mm low string doesn't look like its taking the drop C1 very well HAHAHA:P Dude, your covers are always awesome but this one was just perfect in my opinion. I wanna learn this song too, its so god damn great! I love your new guitar btw!

[anxiousx]

How can anyone even create a riff this nasty and put them as a compilation for a whole song? It's so crazy

[Mikesane]

I frequent these Vildhjarta covers almost daily. They’re shot so well. The lighting from above to accentuate the string movement is 👌👌
What is find most impressive is your style. The way you utilize economy of motion in these riffs is quite captivating. Excellent job 👏👏👏

[Vilemm]

This is just too good. You earned a new subscriber!

[apocalypseinseminator]

Aah yes, the sweet sound of bridge cables

[VeressDani]

love that minimalistic guitar, its a gorgeous instrument, and the song is tightly spot on too, good job

[kamilliwinski]

Dat Blackmachine is perfect. Looks like was designed and made for crushing Vildhjarta / HLB riffs.
Love it!

[kalbreezy]

This is definitely the BEST guitar cover on the internet to one of the BEST bands, possibly THE best band on the planet! 🤘
Your self control to not move while giving us such a clear and awesome cover that we could learn off is so insane dude!
Thank you for these guitar covers Krisse!! 🙏

[static_motion]

That's it, you win. I've been looking for covers of this song ever since the album came out and while others have come close, yours is abso-fucking-lutely flawless. My hats off to you, impeccable playing.

[Ordacleaphobia]

Oh my god dude I'm amazed you went that low on a 64.
This was sick; mix was great.
It takes some degree of black magic to accurately cover any Vildjharta material; lol.

[edes.istvan]

Your picking is just *smooth like butter*
