I've been into metal for a couple of years now and have well over 400 albums but they are all downloaded illegally. Now Ive never had a problem with downloading music since pretty much all my friends do it however after searching around blabbermouth I was continuously surprised to see bands...

In Flames: Clayman At The Gates: Slaughter of the Soul Enslaved: Ruun Opeth: Blackwater Park The Absence: Riders of the Plague

After hearing my first song our bassist said he wanted to have a quicker tempo so this is what I came up with. I had a great time writing all those riffs. I was really surprised when the finished song only came up to 3:32. Atleast this gives some time to have a nice guitar solo when I actually...

Well heres the first song Ive made for my new band. Were a melo death band and I recorded this for my English project :hypno: . Anyways feel free to criticize although keep in mind that Ive only been playing for nine months. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxJtERFW4Jc&mode=user&search=

Black Metal: Enslaved, Gorgoroth Death Metal: Six Feet Under, Daath Thrash Metal: Kreator, Dekapitator Power Metal: Nevermore, Nightwish

Heres the begginning of a brutal death metal song http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php Anyone want to help with that. God its so hard to play :(

After reading several threads about which scales would best for metal I was just wondering how you could make a metal riff from a scale. I have made countless riffs without this knowledge but I guess it would be useful if I ever hit a writers block. So can anyone give me some guidence in how to...

Well I enjoy melo death and I hate punk so I guess I'm out.

Here is a song of mine (unfortuantly my lead guitarist has not written the solo for the song) : http://www.mediafire.com/?eftmxtjcb1d Note im a sort of novice with guitar pro but I'm adept at making songs, what sort of music were you thinking of creating.

Can you give us samples of your work. I'm reluctant of buying something Ive never heard.

I was thinking something along the lines for Mnemic (you need to check these guys out) which are a groovy electronic metal band. I do screams but their exactly like carcass's singers screams so maybe there a bit to harsh and I live along long way from you.

Actually some high pitched metal screams might sound really good for a crazy groovy electronic rock. Although I guess it really depends on what sort of vocals your over band mates want. For a punk voice or you need to shout, theres no secret to it.

Death metal bands I really like: Amon Amarth Arch Enemy Children of Bodom Entombed In Flames Monstrosity Norther The Project Hate Wintersun

But arnt you the guy that complains that two of your band members cant play their instruments and wont write any songs? And your entering the battle of the bands!? We need a bit more detail than this to give you any adivce. Obviously we wont be able to tell which scream you should do unless...

Well the problem is solved, just ordered my new guitar. Its the LTD Alexi 600 and I'm getting for just under 300 quid!
