Bed Of Needles Bed Of Needles
Alice Cooper made "Bed of Nails" in 1989, Alexi Laiho made "Bed of Razors" in 1999, The Dravend made "Bed of Needles" in 2024 Following the trend of a mattress filled with sharp and pointy things.
Day of the Rope Day of the Rope
This came to me to in a dream. I was jamming with Alexi Laiho. I was on rythym, he was on lead. He stops & points to me then I woke up. I wrote afterwards. This is my Children of Bodom inspired song.
Reaper Knows Reaper Knows
This song was written for my best friend. I ask him "what should I write today?" He replies with "Something that I can kill zombies to on Cod, that gets me excited like 115" Say less brother. Here it is.
The Cultist (Official Instrumental) The Cultist (Official Instrumental)
I started this piece when I was 19 years old and it was never used in my former project. It's fitting for my current style and has been repurposed as an "Instrumental" for the album.

At best, your track is a "Rock" Song.. or should i post the definition to that as well seeing your don't seem to understand how it works?
Genres aren't about "tastes" or preferance bro, they follow a criteria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_metal
Doom metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal music that typically uses slower tempos, low-tuned guitars and a much "thicker" or "heavier" sound than other heavy metal genres.[5] Both the music and the lyrics intend to evoke a sense of despair, dread, and impending doom.[6] The genre is strongly influenced by the early work of Black Sabbath,[6] who formed a prototype for doom metal. During the first half of the 1980s,[6] a number of bands such as Witchfinder General from England, American bands Pentagram, Saint Vitus, the Obsessed, Trouble, and Cirith Ungol, and Swedish band Candlemass defined doom metal as a distinct genre.
You chose to put your track in the Category of Charts.
You sir, are incorrect.
Learn your genres, at the end of the day. You chose to apply your track a category to which it does not belong in.
It's as if i dropped a Heavy Metal instrumenta
Well, it kind of comes down to personal tastes, doesn't it. I heard your song in this charts. I happen to prefer mine. As I imagine you happen to prefer yours. Doesn't make either one of us wrong. We're both right, or we wouldn't be in that chart, because no one would play it. We're both in that chart. Because people play it.
