  • Let’s see what it takes to write a song that sounds like ‪@AmarantheTV‬!
    My songwriting course is available now: bit.ly/SONGWRI...
    At Toontrack, November is Metal Month.
    www.toontrack....
    Big thanks to Olof Mörck for the guitar solo, and ‪@AngelWolfBlack‬ and ‪@voicehacks‬ Metal Mary Z for loaning me their voices for this.

    Metal Mary Z - harsh vocals

    Thanks for watching guys - here are the lyrics:
    RUSH
    v1
    Understimulated jaded mind
    So distracted I can’t keep time
    Every day is a race that I’m running
    Out on the chase and I’m looking for something
    Overcomplicated waste of time
    Nothing waiting at the finish line
    Every day I become the horizon
    It’s never enough for you
    Because I can’t break through
    To the part of my brain
    That will satiate
    All of the needs that I have
    So I can elevate
    Nothing I’m doing is right in the slightest
    Every other day is a war I’m fighting
    Living in a loop with no way out
    Just gimme my fucking fix
    pc
    How much more can the shore of the river take
    Feel the rise of the tide
    til the levee breaks
    c1
    I want you to
    Flood my brain
    And give me
    Everything I ever wanted
    Make me believe that I can
    Be made whole again
    Dull my pain
    I need that chemical healer
    My brain is the dealer
    And I can’t get enough
    The world burns so we’re
    Living for the rush
    v2
    Past the limit but I can’t rewind
    Always in it can’t turn off my mind
    Every day a new face I’m uncovering
    Don’t wanna wait to see who I’m becoming
    Every day I replace the horizon
    There’s nothing that I can’t do
    Until I can’t see
    Through to the heart
    Of the way I disintegrate
    All of the flaws in the
    Face I impersonate
    Everything I do to unlock the deposit
    Skeletons piling up in my closet
    Gotta catch a break some way somehow
    Just gimme my fucking fix
    Pc 2
    How much more can the shore of the river take
    It will rise to the size
    MZ: of a tidal wave
    c2
    Until you
    Flood my brain
    And give me
    Everything I ever wanted
    Make me believe that I can
    Be made whole again
    Dull my pain
    I need that chemical healer
    My brain is the dealer
    And I can’t get enough
    The world burns so we’re
    Living for the rush
    br
    Living for the rush
    Unleash the flood
    Of the serotonin you owe me
    I did what you asked and
    It’s not gonna slow me down
    I’m a hostage no more
    And I’m not gonna work for you
    c3
    Until you
    Flood my brain
    And give me
    Everything I ever wanted
    Make me believe that I can
    Be made whole again
    Dull my pain
    I need that chemical healer
    My brain is the dealer
    And I can’t get enough
    The world burns so we’re
    Living for the rush
    We're living for the rush

    I would say this follows more of the style Amaranthe used with The Nexus Album. I definitely hear aspects of "The Nexus", "Invincible", and "Afterlife" with the biggest influence on the track being "Afterlife".
    It was also very cool to watch how you broke down the musical aspects of the band, was extremely informative and taught me a bit more to use in my own song writing ventures. (I still suck at it, but i'm trying to get better.)
    Also, do you have any tricks / tips for getting good tones on the guitar when you don't have an amp and plug directly into a Focusrite with VST plugins?

    Does this song exist as its own, standalone video? Without the creation process?

I do like the creation process, but when it's (hypothetically) 10 : 00 PM, and an assignment is due at 11 : 59 PM, I need the song.
