I really could use some help to develop some ideas for a black metal song..... As you can see in the GP file i have started out with some riffs but i really dont know how to use them and how to make them sound interesting.....

Any ideas is welcome

I'll see what i can do to add to it . Not to be a part of the track or anything but just to hopefully give you some ideas

I've added 2 tracks in so far nothing has extended but i've just pretty much added to what you have so far to try and unleash a few more evil sound ^.^

Here's what i have so far. I did accidentally miss out one bar in the break part you'll see what i mean. But anyway let me know if this helps at all to spur any ideas

EDIT: Just a note, to get the full effect of the sound i guess you really need to record it but i thought you'd get the idea from this i could try recording them if you wanted though as i used a VST to figure out what i wanted =]

Hope they help you a bit =] truth be told i've never written any black metal so it was kind of new for me but just went with it haha

Some nice ideas there. For that expansive soundscape that is common in BM I'd go for more of the full-sounding chords that you have towards the end there and perhaps some tremolo picked lead lines.
I'll post a few ideas from where you could carry on if you like.
Just wondering.. what are your main influences in BM?

Here's an extra couple of ideas for you. They're more along the lines of my writing style but hopefully you'll like some of it and can develop more from them. If not then no problem, I'm just throwing some ideas into the pot
