This is the song Insidious which is straight forward thrash death metal kind of song with a lot of frenetic rhythm guitar playing, the Nightrage way. I use a lot of triplets on the rhythms and the overall arrangement its simple and to the point. A nice thing is the change from 4/4 to 3/4 on the chorus where I use wide vibrato on my melodies and some nice hooks there to balance the brutality of the song and make it more interesting. Tomas Lindberg from At The Gates makes a guest vocal appearance and gives the song the extra push that we needed to make it a better song.
Also, the song closes down with a nice acoustic outro theme, that has that eerie and sad feeling that we’re always using on our songs, I have used some nice open chords to make the acoustic theme rich and also used some octaves playing the lonely melody beneath.
Tips: Try to use heavy strings to avoid tuning problems and make sure that your right hand plays the rhythm tight and try to work from slow speed and slowly increase the tempo until you find the balance you are looking for.
