Something for everybody: Eight metal genres in one song

[Naren]

This idea got started at our gig last week where the promoter was playing a mix CD of deathcore and metalcore songs by tons of different bands that all pretty much followed the same formula (melodeath-esque riffs in the verses with hardcore style vocals, then a slow breakdown with low growls, then an upbeat chorus with one person singing clean while another did death growls or hardcore vocals). So my drummer and I were joking about it and I got the idea to just take a bunch of different metal genres and make a song out of it. But since I planned to use the tunings, atmosphere, lyrics, and stereotypical aspects of each respective genre, I realized that it could never be a coherent song, but I think it's amusing.



Genres are:
1. Melodic Death Metal
2. Alternative Metal
3. Deathcore/Metalcore
4. Black Metal
5. Thrash Metal
6. Grindcore
7. Power Metal
8. Doom Metal

I originally intended also on doing technical death metal, folk metal, groove metal, and progressive metal, but I thought the song was getting too long and just left it at 8 genres and 4 minutes in length.

This song was recorded with my Axe-FX Ultra, my Ibanez RG1527, my Ibanez RG7EXFX2, my Schecter Damien Elite 8 string, my Gibson Les Paul Studio, and my Ibanez SR305. Didn't use the RG8527z on this one.

If you want to know the lyrics, they are in the YouTube details/description.

*throws fruit

*amazingly catches fruit, reminding Stealth that Naren should be a professional baseball player, and uses fruit to make a fruit smoothie.

I forgot you're secretly mikael akerfeltd.

 

[Mwoit]

lol @ Power Metal section. Sounds pretty good man, each part does sound like its respective genre.

 

[Naren]

The power metal part is way overkill. Like 9 or 10 separate tracks in that section. There's a violin too, but it's hard to hear.

I'm actually Mikael's younger brother Erik.

The Grindcore part was way too long to make a convincing Grindcore song.

 

[SpaceDock]

OMG Power Metal!

 

[Lagtastic]

The melodic death and thrash sections were cool. I got a little King Diamond feel from the power metal section.


Thanks for not including anything that resembles dubstep in any fashion.

 

[Blind Theory]

Power metal made me laugh my ass off.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

 

[BlackWinds10]

That was pretty fascinating. Should do it more often.

Power metal made me laugh my ass off.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

Hahahahaha same .
It was so unexpected.

 

[Don Vito]

Power Metal is becoming a little stale as of late.

The industry could learn a few things from you guys.

 

[Naren]

The Grindcore part was way too long to make a convincing Grindcore song.

I originally was going to do it at 270bpm and only have it be 15 seconds long, but I kept coming up with crazy goregrind/grindcore stereotypical lyrics.

Hahahahaha same .
It was so unexpected.

That's why power metal had to be right after grindcore. To make it even MORE unexpected.

 

[Gabe_LTD]

it be even cooler if you did 8 completly different genres in one song

hehehhe

the metalcore/deathcore transistion to black metal was fucking hilarious.
