There are literally hundreds of different methods used to write a song, and every musician has tailored their own rhyme and reason of doing things. Sometimes it’s as easy as playing some piano and having the words write themselves, or it can start with a poem and a mission to find the right music to fit it. I have compiled some of the ways I have come across to write your own music. Please keep in mind that these are only a few of many different ways to come up with your own material, and these are great ways to learn. But you get much more satisfaction if you start from scratch. Enjoy, and I hope this helps. Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going.

But this is not the first time he has worked on a metal album. Christopher Lee has made cameos on several heavy metal albums and released his first full-length solo effort, called Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross , in 2010. The album is a collection of words akin to heavy metal Yahtzee. Here's what the music video looks like: The above pictures are from the music video "The Bloody Verdict of Verden," and it looks like it came straight out of hell, or where ever it is Satan dwells.
