Rushing Towards Doom
By Nyarlos on April 19, 2026 4:02 am
Lyndon Laney, an amplifier legend, died this week, I started a funeral doom song on Monday, and got the Laney GHR50 out, and by Wednesday heard he had died. I hope I didn't kill the guy who made Tony Iommi's amps!
But a spooky coincidence at least lol
Slow, reverb drenched and some lonely long drawn out parts, Funeral Doom stuff is a really odd genre, and I always looked at it as fully extreme death and black metal, but just slowed down to the low 60's in bpm instead of 180.
It was very hard for me to play, you can hear me rushing the beat a lot, especially in the solo, it’s harder playing this slow than it is to rip at 200bpm!
I hope I did the Laney Amplifier Legacy some respect today!
