Rapid tempo, the drum would playing an almost galloping lick through the verse, into blast beats during the bridge, into more traditional rhythm during the chorus w/ lots of snare and cymbal. I listened to Judas Priest on the way to work today and figured I'd have a go just wrote this in about 20 minutes. WE RIDE galloping hard across the plain TO ARMS for our fallen brothers we ride TO ARMS this night our steel, their flesh collide WE RIDE Vindication shall be our calling bridge We set forth, driven by pain into the night We set forth, the embers of loss fade with twilight chorus WE CARRY ON FOREVER We ride for we have lost our home OUR WILL IS STEELED, YIELDING NEVER Seeking vengeance shall we ever roam Our resolve is... UNBROKEN [ shouted by the main vocalist unaccompanied, the ellipsis is lead in with a lot of ride/snare work, once the "UNBROKEN" is shouted the rest of the song resumes w/ the drums leading it in w/ generous tom work] TONIGHT we rip into their encampment FOR PRIDE blade meets bone with brute power FOR PRIDE bodies pile up by the hour TONIGHT from now until forever... Ruiner my name bridge Chorus Guitar break/solo Bridge Chorus UNBROKEN UNBROKEN You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I had "Creeping Death" (metallica) and "Time What is Time" (blind guardian) in mind. I didn't want it to be a vocal driven song. I wanted the lyrics to kind of set up a frame of violence and aggression so the guitars could take it away in the break/solo then kind of bring it back together at the end. Plus with a theme as aggressive as this, I felt like more lyrics would kind of cheapen it's intensity. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Sorry, your obviously a pretty good writer, it'd just be nice to see something fresh and original You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I suppose to get really interesting it would have to be a concept album where there wouldn't need to be too much development in each song. That might be a worthy undertaking, actually. My problem is I try to think of the song all at once to get the cadence. Once I did start making headway I scaled it back to thinking more poetic, making sure each line was metered, develop somewhat of a rhyme scheme. The really difficult part was coming up with a chorus because I felt like I needed to be able to come up with a hook/melody before I could put words to it. I'm going to try to do more in an effort to bolster my song writing ability. I do appreciate the feedback. @ Uncreator: No, but I kind of came up with some as I was writing. When I get a free minute later tonight/this weekend I'll see if I can lay them down in reaper. I don't have any drum software so I'll probably just play a click track of scratching over the low three strings. I'm not great at writing leads but I think I can definitely lay down rhythm work and maybe simple fills over it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
