bass solo, take one
are you using theory to help you? like making sure you stay in the right key. also, using a certain mode or scale for a solo/riff always sounds good.
The best tip ever for good songwriting:
Listen to music that's better than you.
Why?
Because listening to better written music raises your standard o writing. Sure, it makes it harder to actually write the songs, but on the bright side, when you finish it, it will only turn out that much better.
That's what I do at least. Not exactly the best advice, I know, but if you know your stuff, then advice like this could make all the difference.

Just listen to a lot of music and you'll get it. Bodom is good because it's pretty technical in a way.

If you write songs based on tips given to you by other people, you'll end up sounding like all the other cookie cutter crap bands that are out today. I say keep at it and make something unique and innovative, and someday you'll be posting on your own forum.

When your ready to write a song, It'll just come to you. Do you play an instrument or sing? And I agree with some others, tips aren't gonna help. IMO

riffs
solos
That's the way
Use minor scales or harmonic minor scales(it's better if you want to make a metal song), have a good structure. Shred with taht and maybe you'll end with a good riff. Still I'm not really the good reference to tell you how to write a song. Bassicly its this.

Once you have an idea in your head, record it and add on to it if you can't write music well.
