Here’s my last work-in-progress track. A bit experimental for me. I’d name it’s genre as a club-metal, or dance-metal… It sounds a bit like Sevendust + Coal Chamber + Korn for me but has an interesting dancing core.
Please let me know your opinion about this piece of music
Cheers,
Alex
[edit]
aaahh… sorry… I was too sleepy yesterday
here’s the track
I would not relate this song to anything but metal itself, as I can’t feel any dance element in it. Maybe it could be filed in the so called “groove-metal” genre, anyway it’s very good.
Years ago, I composed some songs which mixed electronic dance music and metal, even combining an acoustic and an electronic drum set playing concurrently at different signatures.
Thanks for your comments
Yes, you’re right it not sounding like a dance music itself but it is based on a straightforward groove which is so much associates with the club music for me. The main drums sequence is [bass drum, hat, snare, hat, bass drum, hat, snare, hat] … That’s why it felt so “dancing” for me. Sorry for that
I was digging the modarchive few month ago but not sure if I saw songs that you are describing. Can you share them with us? pleeeease
It’s not like a generic song or something. It reminds me a theatrical production or maybe a musical movie. Seems like it’s trying to tell the story. Irrational sometimes , non-linear and non-predictable. Very impressive! I think I listened to it about 5 or 6 times
I played it using Milky Tracker and Audacious (modplug plugin) and it sound not that sharp on audacious (the tracker’s sound was a little bit “sandy”), and the panning looks a little nicer for me in Audacious.
yes, at that times my compositions where very lunatic and everchanging, more than how they are now, and I was very mad at dance music; I really hated it so much I dreamed about its death and tried to tell a story about that
not that now I love dance music: I just got older and more tolerant
