Suno prompt
A menacing metal track blending hard rock with high energy and a swung feel at 122 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a cracking and compressed snare and tight closed hats. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A gritty male vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a dense and compressed style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on extended seventh chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
