Rust In My Chest

Metal ballad with half-time verses, palm-muted guitars and heavy tom swells; verse stays low and tense, pre-chorus opens into rising clean melody, chorus crashes wide with gang doubles and shouted hook repeats, bridge drops to near-silence then returns with bigger drums. Lead vocal alternates gritty chest voice and aching clean highs, with layered harmonies on the hook, short delay throws on key words, reversed cymbal swells and a pinched guitar harmonics lift into each chorus. Mix is dark, huge, and polished, with tight low end and bright cutting guitars., metal
