Metal Music Generator for Riffs That Drive the Song
Pick a metal direction and describe the guitar, bass and drum arrangement. Instrumental is on by default; turn it off to explore vocals. Generation requires sign-in and 20 credits per request.
Build your brief with the Metal Music Generator
01
Decide what makes the riff worth repeating
A metal song can begin with a small rhythmic idea rather than a long list of subgenres. Think about the phrase you want to recognize when it returns: a galloping low-string figure, a tightly muted pulse interrupted by ringing chords, or a slow descending movement with space after each hit. In ‘Describe a song’, explain the relationship between that riff and the rest of the band. A useful first brief might ask for a compact guitar motif, bass reinforcing its accents, and drums that leave the final beat open before the pattern starts again.
This metal song generator interprets a written brief to create new audio; it does not accept a guitar recording and build an arrangement around the same performance. You do not need a finished score, but a clear listening target helps. Choose whether the rhythm, melody or sustained texture should be most noticeable. Calling a passage heavier is less specific than asking for fewer guitar notes with stronger stops between them. The result remains an interpretation, not a transcription of exact picking movements or a guarantee that every accent will land where you imagined.
02
Choose a direction by its musical role
The six cards supply editable starting descriptions. ‘Heavy metal’ emphasizes galloping movement and prominent guitar leads. ‘Thrash metal’ suggests fast downpicking and sharper rhythmic breaks. ‘Melodic death metal’ brings harmonized minor-key lines into a denser setting. ‘Symphonic metal’ introduces orchestral layers around distorted guitars. ‘Progressive metal’ explores changing meters and an evolving arrangement, while ‘Doom metal’ slows the movement and lets sustained low textures occupy more space. These are starting briefs, not finished backing tracks or separate specialist engines with guaranteed musical rules.
Pick the card that matches your most important decision before adding another influence. For a melodic lead that must remain easy to follow, describe a supporting rhythm part rather than also demanding constant guitar solos. For an orchestral opening, specify when the guitars should become central so the strings do not carry the entire idea by accident. Selecting a card replaces the description, so keep an important custom brief elsewhere before trying another direction. You can then edit the new text instead of accepting all its details unchanged.
03
Describe tightness through attacks, pauses and drum accents
Distortion alone does not make a rhythm feel heavy. Short palm-muted attacks, a clear stop, and a drum accent on the return can give a riff more weight than continuous noise. You might ask for a clipped guitar pattern over a steady snare pulse, with double-kick movement supporting the busiest phrase rather than running through every section. Downpicking, tremolo picking and open chords suggest different textures; use the term that serves the musical idea instead of combining every technique in one sentence.
During playback, follow where notes end as well as where they begin. If a break feels blurred, try asking for a shorter phrase and a more obvious pause in the next request. Pace and energy settings describe character, not a precise metronome or drum grid. A fast setting does not lock a BPM, and mentioning a meter does not guarantee a bar-by-bar time-signature plan. There is no step sequencer here for correcting a single kick hit after generation.
04
Keep the low end readable as the guitars get larger
A low-tuned guitar and a bass line can reinforce one another, but they can also hide each other's movement. Decide whether the bass should follow the main riff or supply a simpler foundation underneath it. If the rhythm guitars already occupy a broad low register, a clearer lead melody or a less crowded arrangement may work better than asking for another layer of distortion. Terms such as dry, sustained or spacious can help express an intended sound without pretending to be exact amplifier settings.
Compare the fullest passage with a quieter one. Can you still follow the bass, and do the kick and guitar attacks remain distinct? If not, reduce the competing musical instructions in your next brief. This workbench has no individual instrument faders, equalizer or track-routing panel. Describing a tighter low end guides a new generation; it does not process just the bass in an existing result. Nor does it deliver isolated guitar stems, a guitar-tab transcription or an editable recording session.
05
Choose the vocal approach before entering your lyrics
Leave ‘Instrumental only’ enabled to focus on the riffs and arrangement without a vocal line. Turn it off when singing is part of the idea, then choose a vocal direction if useful. Clean singing, a raspy delivery, deep growls and contrasting clean and harsh passages imply different places for the voice in the mix. They describe a desired character, not a selectable real performer or a promise of identical vocal timbre across requests. A melodic chorus can remain powerful without making every verse equally dense.
For words you have written, select ‘Use my lyrics’ and enter ‘Song title’. The mode initially switches instrumental off. Put the words intended for the generated voice in ‘Lyrics’, and put riff or arrangement notes in ‘Style details (optional)’. Custom vocal generation requires lyrics; custom instrumental generation can leave them empty but still needs a title. Check the visible counters: the fixed genre and selected direction settings contribute to the request as well as your own text.
06
Give contrasting sections a reason to return
A clean arpeggio passage, a full-band riff and a lead break each make a different demand on the listener. Describe a change that serves the song: a restrained verse making room for words, a larger chorus answering it, or a sustained transition before the opening riff returns. Progressive ideas benefit from a recognizable motif connecting the sections; simply requesting more changes can produce a sequence with little identity. Doom can use repetition deliberately, letting a slow chord movement develop rather than inserting a fast section just to create variety.
Evaluate one transition at a time instead of judging only the loudest moment. Does the chorus sound like a response to the verse? Does a solo leave the rhythm section with something useful to do? Repeating a request makes another interpretation, not an alternate take that preserves every previous section. Save the result you prefer before experimenting. The text brief does not provide timestamp editing, a guaranteed duration, a fixed section count or an exact solo-length control.
07
Plan access, comparisons and the next editing step
You can prepare a brief without signing in, but sending it requires an account with enough credits. The current cost is 20 credits per request. A task can return up to two versions; the number is not guaranteed. Listen to available results with the playback controls and download the one you want to retain. Compare a specific quality, such as riff clarity or the separation between chorus and verse, rather than treating the louder opening as automatically better.
Keep important lyrics and settings outside the browser draft, which is saved for this tab session rather than promised as permanent storage. Use material you own or have permission to use, and check the applicable terms before publication; generating a new track is not blanket clearance for borrowed lyrics or melodies. If you only need to shorten a downloaded passage, use an audio cutter. A new generation is appropriate when the musical idea needs changing, not when the sole task is trimming a few seconds from the ending.

Using the metal workbench
How do I start a metal track?
Choose a direction in ‘Describe a song’, edit the brief and check ‘Instrumental only’. Sign in and review the 20-credit cost and your balance before sending a request.
Where should I enter my own metal lyrics?
Open ‘Use my lyrics’ and fill in ‘Song title’ and ‘Lyrics’. Use ‘Style details (optional)’ for arrangement notes and leave ‘Instrumental only’ off for vocals.
How do I make an instrumental in custom mode?
Enter ‘Song title’ and enable ‘Instrumental only’. You can leave ‘Lyrics’ empty and use the style field to describe the instrumental arrangement.
Can I set an exact BPM or guitar tuning?
You can describe tempo and tuning as musical intentions, but the page has no exact BPM lock, fretboard or tuning editor. Check what the generated result actually does.
Can I upload a recording and turn it into metal?
Not in this workbench. It generates new audio from a description or lyrics, rather than converting an uploaded recording.
How can I make the next result less crowded?
Simplify the brief so the rhythm guitar, bass and drums have clearer roles. Submit another interpretation; there are no separate instrument faders for revising an existing result.
