B-LOW is used to play with two bass-guitars and one guitar to achieve the ultimate low and heavy sound.
In time the old doom idea is replaced by a more industrial sound. By adding (really distorted) samples, synthesizer sounds, filters, extra drumbeats and double or even triple vocals the music becomes more layered, aggressive, groovy, melodic and weird.
The musical input from the different members is very different from each other, just like their musical influences. Today this idea is shaped as drop tuned guitars with more cut riffs, distorted bass lines and melodic synth riffs.
Musical roots range from punk to the entire metal-scene and from techno to dark and cold stripped down industrial. Because of this musical diversity B-LOW has created a unique style of music: Slow Doom and Fast Noise
