      @LorcanWard  Год назад +19

      Thanks! I told myself I wouldn’t force any songs. I was trying to think of Nurgle lyrics that weren’t just graphic for the sake of it. The line “death lords, sharpen your scythes in the crucible of war” came to me and then the whole song came together slowly but surely. A hard one for sure!

    • @LorcanWard
      @LorcanWard  Год назад +2

      The instrumental part of the song was written after Alexi Laiho passed away. He’s one of my biggest influences so I wanted to write a tribute to his writing style. This song is packed full of nods and references, some intentional, some not at all but listening back I can hear:
      The intro is a mix of (Sinergy)Nowhere for No One, Smile Pretty for the Devil, Bastards of Bodom, Follow the Reaper and Kissing the Shadows intros.
      The verse is a mix of Hate Me verse and Follow the Reaper Intro
      The chorus is a mix of Hate Me and Children of Bodom choruses
      The interlude has elements of Follow The Reaper, Hate Me
      The guitar solos are packed full of Alexi’s signature licks and style. There’s kissing the shadows style sweeps, neo-classical arpeggios like Downfall, 5 string minor sweep tap, blues licks, open string pedal point guitar/key unison licks, tremelo picking scale patterns, whammy stuff, 3 nps licks etc etc
      It would take a whole video to break down everything. Like I said Alexi is one of my biggest influences. I learned nearly every Bodom/Sinergy song and really dived into his writing style and scale/note choice which had a clear influence on my own writing and playing.

    That is such an interesting instrumental. It's right in a spot between trash, power metal and synthonic metal. The beginning has a very power metal almost sabaton but creative vibe, transitioning into thrash/synthonic thrash metal to the end. The synth by the end could be replaced by violins with piano accents which would push it more into synthonic metal but I think still work in the context of the song it's great. Mind telling me your inspiration for the song?
    Edit: also are you songs on Amazon music?

    • @LorcanWard
      @LorcanWard  Год назад +2

      Hi! So the main inspiration for this track is a band called Children of Bodom, it’s a tribute to the main songwriter Alexi Laiho. They were originally a mix of 80s metal, neo-classical power metal and death metal. Later incorporating more thrash elements. They had some symphonic elements but leaned more towards synth-pop/video game style synths as opposed to orchestra instruments. I guess you’d call it melodic death metal.
      Yep my music is on Apple Music and all other streaming sites.

      @LorcanWard  8 месяцев назад +1

      I think you need to be a fan of Children of Bodom and the late Alexi Laiho to understand the musical connection on this one. Lyrically it mostly draws inspiration from the Lords of Silence book which is the best depiction of Nurgle imo. So fusing the two with the subversive idea that Nurgle followers would be content if not overjoyed in their zealousness, hearing major sounding melodeath. The song makes a lot more sense when you understand these three things.
