Compositional mixtape

the next compositional theme is LICKING WHORE BUTTHOLE guys lets do it!




.....




just joking, im gonna use that when i win the other games, the real theme here is BREAKDOWNS. song must have a part that slows the fuck down, instruments become more rhythmic / groovy / headbang-inducing, maybe accentuated by sporadic vocals. can be any metal genre, the more crushing and face-melting the better, GO HARD!

My Decrepit Lament · Veiled in Sorrow – 6/10

Are we counting the part beginning around 2:50 as the breakdown? I’m surprised that for a –core pick, I’m actually having a hard time identifying it. If that is the part, I like it, kinda doomy but still brings the groove. The rest of the song was decent, also a little different from what I was expecting.

Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King – 10/10

Absolute classic. The song is a 10/10 even without the breakdown, but oh man, the whole AH AH AH AH part particularly is one of the most excessive and ridiculous things I’ve ever heard, in the best way possible.

WASP - Harder Faster – 5/10

I didn’t know this live album had any exclusive tracks, and I just listened to the S/T on my school commute today, nice. The bulk of this song seems a bit derivative of that, though. The breakdown bit was the highlight but still not that great, rhythm section too simplistic to really sell it.

We Butter The Bread With Butter - Superföhn Bananendate – 2/10

Lmao, that synth line. I’d give this a decent rating if you removed all the metal parts, but as is this is pretty bad. The breakdown was the worst part too. I like the sentimental bit during the last 20 seconds though.

Artillery - Time Has Come – 10/10

I still can’t figure out why thrash bands wrote better breakdowns in the mid-80s than anyone after. This, The Conjuring, Curse the Gods, so many awesome breakdowns circa 85-86 in thrash metal. I credit the relative lack of hardcore influence.

Enslaved – Havenless – 5/10

Kind of weird, like a black/thrash martial prog breakdown or someshit. It just keeps going and going. I’ve heard some Enslaved, but this is a lot thrashier than I remember. Dunno, I thought it was a little interesting at least, although I didn’t really like it and it didn’t feel groovy, just choppy.

Aversions Crown – Xenoforms – 3/10

Eh, pretty boring, and over before I knew it.
