WHY REGGAE + METAL WORKS 🤘🌿

At first glance they look like opposites — one is groove and space, the other is riffs and force.
But underneath, they’re built from the same bones:

• rhythm that moves the body (offbeats / gallops)
• bass that carries the weight (dub lows / downtuned heaviness)
• repetition + tension + release (hypnosis / catharsis)
• identity, resistance, emotion (message / rebellion)

That’s why this fusion doesn’t feel “random” to me — it feels natural.
Different roots. Same fire.

If you’re into Reggae Metal / Metalcore fusion:
What’s the one element that makes it click for you — the groove, the riffs, the bass, or the message?

Nachtbarde

I’m not someone with many words, but I want to say this clearly:

Thank you to every metalhead who found their way here and stayed.
Really — thank you.

I started this channel because I wanted a place where I could listen to the kind of songs I personally missed. It means a lot to me that this strange but heartfelt fusion of reggae and metal seems to connect with some of you too.

I’m not going to turn this post into a big debate about AI music. The tracks on this channel are made with Suno as a tool, and if anyone is genuinely interested in my workflow — or in how much AI is actually involved in a playlist — I’m happy to talk about it openly.

What I do want to say is this: I have no interest in AI slop. I don’t want to flood YouTube with empty content. I spend a lot of time going through tracks, rejecting most of them, and keeping only the ones that actually move me, surprise me, or feel worth hearing again. Many don’t make it.

So I’d really love to hear from you:

What do you want more of?
Do you want lyrics?
Would karaoke versions be interesting?
Do you prefer longer playlists or shorter ones?
Would you like more single-song uploads with video?
Do you enjoy the visual side of the playlists, or would you rather have something simpler?
Do you want heavier metal? More reggae? More experiments?

Tell me what you’re missing, what you enjoy, and what you’d love to hear next. I can’t promise to do everything immediately, but I do read your ideas, and I’ll try to take them on sooner or later.

Also, I wanted to give you a way to listen to some of these songs outside of YouTube. I’m still a bit hesitant about going straight to Spotify and the big streaming platforms, because I’m not convinced the conditions there are great for artists. So instead, I’ve started building a small shop page where I’ll offer selected playlists as MP3 packs. Nothing huge, nothing fancy — just a simple place where you can grab a playlist if you want to keep it.

Each playlist pack will be 5 bucks.
I think that’s fair.

Since I honestly have no idea yet whether anyone will even want to buy them, I’ve only started with a small selection. If there’s a playlist from the channel that you’d love to have and it’s not in the shop yet, just leave a comment or message me and I’ll try to add it as soon as I can.

The shop is currently live on my side but still pending review/approval, so if all goes well, it should hopefully be online soon and start showing up under the videos as well.

And one more thing: don’t judge me too hard if everything isn’t perfect right away. This is all still new territory for me. I’m trying to build this properly, stay fair, and make something cool for the people who actually care. I’m not trying to rip anyone off or get rich from this. I’m just trying to earn a little appreciation for the time, care, and work that goes into these playlists — on top of normal daily life and everything else happening outside YouTube.

If you’d like to check out the shop already, here’s the link — feel free to have a look around and see what’s there.

So again — thank you, friends.
You’re the best.

Rock on.
Reggae metal forever.
