Not sure if anyone would call this metal but you can call it what ever you want. Home studio production and a pocket camera video.

Thanks for the input. The original question/discussion was an honest observation. But I admit I don't follow every little subgenre there is and I just raised the issue by what I hear e.g. on Spotify metal playlists and such. And I didn't want to prove a point, instead started digging in by doing...

Ok. Improvement is a nice word :) I posted the tracks in the order I wrote them. So improvement was the intention here. As far as lyrics, in these three songs, I started from 'you', then moved to 'you and me' and the last one is about just 'I'. I hope the actual content and message doesn't need...

Here's the other two with lyrics videos:

Fair enough. I see your point. Actually, I made three songs this time, to cover more ground. Maybe the other two might 'go somewhere'. There's a spotify link in the video's description window, in case someone is interested.

I decided to give this one more attempt. I found a better vocalist, female this time. I tried to improve every aspect of the song writing and production. I didn't really taylor the music for any specific audience, just tried to enjoy the process and forget any expectations. Of course I'm curious...

So in a nutshell. With better vocals, better riffing, more details and better drumming this song could be ok, at least to some of you. Meaning the recipe can be mixed in a bedroom if the right incredients are there. I will have a look before I start putting the next one together...

Ah, the voice of reason. Your friendly tone is appreciated. I admit I don't drink goats blood for breakfast. And no white lines in the recent past I'm afraid. A bit ot: I made an observation yesterday: seeing Periphery live and realising their bass playing is all playback, is it ok for metal...

Heh, stoning it is then. I just wonder the disingenuous bit. I truly love metal. That's why I'm interested in the subject. I'm not selling anything to anyone, just placing sincere questions and looking deeper in the matter by doing it myself. I joined my first metal band in '86 and have payed my...

I was (and still am) puzzled with the concept. So I decided to make another one, learning from all the comments and critiques the first one produced. This time I added more challenge: more content, longer duration and more drive. I find it very difficult to keep it together when a song reaches...

Good question. I grew up with the 80's classics: maiden, priest, sabbath, queensryche etc. Then skipped most of 90's and 00's metal. Now I like bands such as Tesseract, Alter Bridge, Katatonia and Sabaton. But what exactly inspired me with this song? I don't really know. It must be a mixture of...

Maybe the 'traditional' gave a wrong message. I meant it terms of typical or mainstream. Something that can be easily labeled as metal. I used fairly oldfashioned galloping bass line and chord progressions, but the guitars had a more modern bite. So it was a mix of things but I tried to achieve...

I'm curious about metal as a genre. Compared to almost any other genre, it seems very standardized in terms of sound. There appears to be an approved prototype as far as the mix and the overall sound, which is widely followed and used. This is only in comparison to pop music where any sound or...
