Metal AI Music Prompts for Suno & Udio

Metal prompts need a tight riff, big drums, and defined vocal style. Choose a metal subgenre and clearly define the guitar tone, drum intensity, and whether the vocals should be clean, screamed, or growled.

How to write Metal prompts

• Pick a substyle: metalcore, melodic death metal, black metal, doom, thrash, or symphonic metal.
• Describe the guitar tuning, drum pattern, and vocal character.
• Add production cues like massive reverb, tight modern mix, or raw old-school grit.

Common mistakes

• Using conflicting vocal styles, such as asking for both soft ballad vocals and brutal growls in the same section.
