Quick answer

Updated

An AI metal song generator composes a complete metal track from a text description — riffs, drums, solos and vocals. In Kenerate's Music Studio, name the subgenre (power, heavy, thrash, prog), the vocal style (soaring clean, gritty, gang vocals), the drums (galloping double-kick, blast-beat-free thrash) and a BPM, and Song mode writes the lyrics too. Have your own metal lyrics? Lyrics mode sings them. Engines include Ken Music, ElevenLabs Music, Mureka and MiniMax; new accounts get 25 free credits.

Lyrics sung in this demo

Verse 1

Iron sky and a hammer of rain

Engines howling down the midnight lane

They built the walls, they wrote the laws

We tore them down with our bare claws

Chorus

Rise! Out of the fire!

Rise! Higher and higher!

Nothing can hold us, nothing can break

Rise! Till the mountains shake!

Verse 2

Steel in our veins and thunder in our chest

No retreat, no surrender, no rest

Chorus

Rise! Out of the fire!

Rise! Higher and higher!

Nothing can hold us, nothing can break

Rise! Till the mountains shake!

Anatomy

The shape of a metal song

Most metal keeps the verse–chorus core and adds riff sections and a solo.

  1. Intro riff · 8 barsThe main riff, often alone
  2. Verse · 8 barsPalm-muted, driving
  3. Pre-chorus · 4 barsThe build
  4. Chorus · 8 barsBig, open, sung or shouted
  5. Verse 2 · 8 bars
  6. Chorus · 8 bars
  7. Solo / breakdown · 8 barsGuitar solo or half-time breakdown
  8. Final chorus · 8 bars
  9. Outro · 4 barsRiff returns, hard stop

Ask for the sections by name — 'shredding guitar solo', 'half-time breakdown', 'gang-vocal chorus' — and engines follow.

  • Doom / sludge50–80 BPM

    Slow, crushing

  • Heavy metal110–145 BPM
  • Metalcore130–170 BPM

    Breakdowns at half-time

Tips

Heavier, tighter AI metal

From making the demos above.

  • Name the subgenre first — 'metal' alone comes out generic.
  • Ask for the solo or breakdown explicitly.
  • Short, punchy lines work best for shouted choruses.
  • Want no vocals? Use Instrumental mode rather than asking in the prompt.
  • Try MiniMax for classic heavy metal and Ken Music for epic power metal.

In depth

AI Metal Song Generator, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how the pieces fit.

Writing metal lyrics

Metal lyrics lean on strong images — fire, storms, steel — and short, rhythmic lines that can be shouted. Keep chorus lines to a few words and repeat them; that's what a crowd sings back.

Subgenres at a glance

What to ask for:

  • Power metal — fast, melodic, soaring vocals, fantasy themes.
  • Heavy metal — mid-tempo riffs, big choruses, guitar solos.
  • Thrash — fast, aggressive, shouted gang vocals.
  • Metalcore — clean choruses and heavy breakdowns.
  • Prog — odd time, dynamics, long builds.
