Hi mate! That's a really good analysis. Let's clarify your confusion about power chords and 3 or 4 notes chords. This tune is in E minor, so if we write the scale we have this:
E minor scale. E - F# - G - A - B - C - D As you already know, the way to get the chords for a tonality is harmonizing in thirds each note from the scale. You can add 1, 2, 3 or more notes to each root in order to get a chord that is part of tonality. In rocker/metal styles, musicians usually add just two (3rd & 5rd) and sometimes only one (5th) is added. So you basically have this 3 possibilities of each chord if you are in E minor key: 4 notes chords: (root- 3rd - 5th - 7th) Em7 - F#m7b5 - Gmaj7 - Am7 - Bm7 - Cmaj7 - D7 3 notes chords: (Root - 3rd - 5th) Em - F#mb5 - G - Am - Bm - C - D Power chords: (Root - 5th) E5 - F#dim5 - G5 - A5 - B5 - C5 - D5 Metallica uses mostly power chords and 3 notes chords (triads). However every time that the E5 appears, they could also play Em. It would sound good too, but the "colour" would be a bit different. Casually this tune has a similar concept than the Therion song. Do you remember this? "Many times it's used the V7 instead of the Vm7. In the case of this song they added another chord that directly resolves on the V7 to finally reach the Im chord. That chord is A#dim (#IV). Another variation used in this song is replacing the Im7 with the Imadd9 to give a different colour. This chord has the same "tonic" function than the Im7." Well, Orion's main riff progression is: Em - Esus2 - B5 - B/D# The B/D# is B major chord but playing the third (D#) as the bass note. If you check E minor tonality you will notice that the V chord should be minor but once again is converted in major to get a different sound. Is it clear? Regarding the idea, I really like it. Let work on it! You should continue it a bit more... do you have any idea to continue it? -------------------- My lessons
