How Do You Write A Brutal Death Metal Song?
• Write some lyrics. Many people find it a little bit easier to start with the lyrics and then write the riffs around them. You can write about anything you want to. For brutal death metal, death/gore based lyrics are often the norm, but you can always go far beyond “normal”. • Take your time. No matter what you choose to write about, make your lyrics flow well with a good meter.Instead of using words like “flesh” and “blood” 1,000 times during a song, have some alternates. • Listen to some death metal songs. Listen to good death metal like Morbid Angel, Cryptopsy, Death, Cannibal Corpse and Nile for some direction. • Write riffs. No matter how good your lyrics are, if your lyrics are weak and they all sound the same then just don’t even worry about the lyrics yet. Focus on your riffs. Don’t give up on your dreams. All the stupid conforming sheep in humanity will try to bust you down for trying to do what you love, but they can never stop you from making your music.
