Title: How do you even write a Metal song?
Post by: Flask on July 07, 2008, 07:26:48 pm
It seems like you, as the lead singer (Ahem, sorry, I mean screamer) would just say "Okay, guys, just play some random stuff on them there electric guitars and I'll yell a bunch of unintelligible chants and phrases."

The only problem with that is, how do they ever remember exactly what they played...?

I agree. Prime example, Now You've Got Something To Die For, by lamb of god. it sounds fucking horrible.

But also, if you generalize all metal into the metal category, then you suck balls. because lamb of god metal is different than dragonforce metal, black sabbath metal, and other stuff. Grindcore, Mathcore, Nu Metal, Metal, Black Metal, Heavy Metal, Power Metal etc etc etc. You cant just say metal. Say screamo or something

If you want fail metal? Go listen to Nu Metal, Doom metal and grindcore. If you want real metal?

-Points to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Testament and Metallicas old shit-

It seems like modern european metal owns modern American metal. Check out Opeth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKx5zrb0Z_0) or Disillusioned (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dREjsCoKt64&feature=related) or stuff like that.

I like Disturbed. Especially their Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible albums.

Well, only their Ten Thousand Fists and Indestructible albums.

To write a technical metal song, you need to have an actual (i.e. lern something other than 4/4 or 3/4 time) understanding of time signatures and how they work. All metalcore songs are musically "valid" in their timing. As for the riffs, idunno, they just sound cool

Nice Megadeth reference at the end. As much as I like Megadave, he's still a pretentious dickwad.
