Here's some metal stuff sopacharga and I have been working on together with some other guys down here. I recorded and put some drum tracks to it this morning since I've got nothing else to do.

Working titles include March of the Trolls, Godzilla Stomp and various other angry monster names...

As always I'd love to hear the forum's opinion on this kinda thing...

I'm still not too sure about the Trem-ed intro.....

And the chug-ie bit right at the end still has a matching harmonised piece, which I'm yet to write.....

The image that comes to mind is more of Army of Darkness than Godzilla or Trolls

Needs some "dirty" sounding drums IMO - But what do I know, I listen to Christian Rock

Nice tho.

haha, the drums are Computer samples done by Ed.

Thats a killer intro solo by Ed though!

My drum knowledge is quite badly limited

Army of Darkness is cool though, I'll take that

Don't know if the link works because I'm on cheap dial up but the band Finntroll definately play troll metal.

Pretty cool, guys. Impressive stuff on the intro solo indeed, Mr Ed

And so far (about half a minute in) that Finntroll is farking cool

update: the ... errrr ... singer ... (who, incidentally, happens to look rather a lot like a troll) has started ... errrr ... growling ... and it's become much less my thing

However: "Trollhammeren!!!!!!"

Thankiew, Mr Tsuken. I actually decided the first part of that sounds far too similiar to something one of my mates wrote for his power metal band... so I added some extra stuff to it

Sounds a bit more busy now, and hopefully more intimidating on the whole

I'll see if I can be arsed rendering it to mp3 at some point.

That sweep stuff is impressive.

Cheers. Well, while people are being all kind n whatnot, here's the one I did these morning with just a few more notes

Sorry, I left my "feel" hat off for this one

Trollhammer
Among shadows rides a beast.
Like a black tree.
Grips tightly on a mighty hammer.
Out for weak Christian blood.
TROLLHAMMER! x2
The Trollhammer sweeps again!
Cut down, brother again!
Hear the last shout -
The Trollhammer is here!
TROLLHAMMER!

He is not a human.
Not fragile and weak like you.
You will be powerless.
No eyes see your end.
TROLLHAMMER! x2
Since the darkness overtook.
It is afraid of the frost's cold fingers.
That take hold and kill.
Under the coming winter night.
TROLLHAMMER!x4

Just for the record, the Norse were unimpressed when the Christians arrived and tried to convert them by the sword. Little did they know that one day they would be conquered by Mickey Mouse and McDonalds!

I like Godzilla by the way. Needs a real drum kit and some more bass but the guitars RAWK! <HeadBangGrowly>
