Suno prompt
A menacing metal track blending hard rock with high energy and a swung feel at 118 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Clean electric guitar carries the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A gritty male vocal delivers a raw and unpolished performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding vocal clarity and melodic lead, built on suspended 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.
