Velvet Burn

Metal blues ballad with picked guitar intro, slow swinging groove, and dramatic orchestral strings; verse rides sparse drums, fingerpicked electric, and low cello swells, pre-chorus opens with rising violins and doubled vocal lines, chorus hits with thick riff chords and gang-held hook. Lead vocal stays close-mic and smoky, with gritty doubles on the chorus and delay throws on key words. Ear candy: reversed cymbal pulls, string glissandi into the downbeat, and a wild experimental overdrive solo. Mix is wide, heavy, and cinematic with a dusty blues core., experimental, metal, blues
