Fade

Liner Notes

I just play guitar, so everything else is virtual instruments / AI. #metal

Lyrics

In the setting sun, our shadows touch.
And the light spreads thin below us.

[Chorus]
The sky is bruised, drowning in red–
veins of gold in a violet haze.
Hold on, just for a while,
and watch the daylight fade.

The dying light claws the ground,
scrapes my skin, and drags me down.
I stare into the sun to watch you walk away.
Your shadow grows long as though it wants to stay.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Hold on, just for a while,
and watch the daylight fade.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I'm not very knowledgeable on metalcore stuff, but this gives me Killswitch Engage vibes. Nice playing and a gritty guitar tone!

@rshakesp Thanks! Yes, the vocal melody and performance are AI generated, though I had to manually edit and re-generate parts to get a complete song. I had some lyrics initially and went back-and-forth with the AI until I got something I was happy with.

Your AI is going to get repetitive strain injury in its feet - that bass drum is blistering! Good aggressive metal going on here, some nice guitar playing. Fab sudden ending. Does the AI do the vocals (performance and write?)
