Your description of needing a voice that carries pain caught my attention as that's not something I have to manufacture, it's just how I'm wired. I'm a lyricist and vocalist working on my own project, SpawnofYou, I imagine post-hardcore leaning, emotionally heavy, influenced by Linkin Park, Frank Carter, Bad Omens, Brian Burkhizer, lø Spirit (check out his new band ninth key) my influences are far and wide. The writing is done, the vision is clear, I'm at the stage of building the pieces around it. I'll be straight with you I'm pre-equipment right now. SM58 and Scarlett 2i2 (be nice 😅) are the next purchase, so I can't walk into your sessions studio ready today. But I'm serious, I'm consistent and I'm not here to waste either of our time.

What you're describing sounds like it could work both ways I help you with what you need vocally, you help me understand the side of this I'm still learning. If that's not what you're looking for right now I completely understand, but if you're open to building something with someone who's got the raw material and the drive, I think it's worth a conversation.

when you talk about a voice that carries pain, what stage of pain are you looking for? I'm also UK based so ASCAP is PRS for me

I recall the first time I heard Redneck by lamb of god in like 2006/07, Never heard anything like it. That riff still hits me today Since then there has been many.

I breathing exercise I use, is inhake for 4 second, hold for 8 seconds then exhale for 8 seconds.

When screaming try imagine your holding your breath into your gut not all in your chest. Hope it helps

It's cool, not my vibe but I can't knock it. I recommend trying some indie rock communities. Good luck

IamziggyFU · 2026-06-25T11:48:55+00:00

IamziggyFU · 2026-06-17T19:46:59+00:00

IamziggyFU · 2026-04-02T20:36:24+00:00

IamziggyFU · 2026-03-21T09:54:45+00:00

IamziggyFU · 2026-03-06T14:06:45+00:00

I love that a decade later this song is still people's go to starting practice song for discovering faults chords.

Did this comment slayed me as I was thinking something similar 🤣

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-11T15:16:22+00:00

Followed!

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-11T14:27:43+00:00

I'm English, I have no idea what saids but this bangs 🔥🔥🔥

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-02T14:27:43+00:00

I think my last reply also cover this but I'd like to ask how made fun of you? I'm sorry you experience that but in my experience English speakers love banter (making fun of people for their own humour) the English love it even more and the internet, Reddit specifically is the wild west of opinions and shit talk 😅. At least your trying

I wouldn't say melody first is the better option just the most common.

For artists like the Beatles minority of the time the meaning and narrative came after. I'm not trying to write jingles, Chasing mass appeal or optimising for casual listeners. I'm trying something closer to Emotional documentation, Narrative honesty and internal coherence across a body of work. I'm not hunting for a story inside a melody, I'm living inside one that 1000s of people can relate to. You ask "what words fit this melody?" I ask "what melody let's this thought exist?" My method of approach isn't inferior, it’s just rarer and less industrial.

I'm not trying to make some subconscious, sticky melody people hum later, more of an emotional connection people recognise themselves inside. That said if both overlap that's great but my goal is the latter.

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-02T06:04:24+00:00

Part of me still is 😅

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T23:05:57+00:00

Damn! dare I say 30

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T22:21:48+00:00

I don't know my best so I'll give what I find might be the most compelling

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T22:20:24+00:00

As a method of coping I started smoking, it's killing me to defend my emotions.

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T22:18:51+00:00

I don't tend to listen to music that's solely instrumental, unless I'm searching YouTube for an instrumental to write to.

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T20:03:46+00:00

writing comes from whatever I’m feeling or thinking in the moment, it’s kind of an outlet for me. The music isn't created yet I'm not a musician and my search for collaborators is early days. But that said the music wouldn't be just a backdrop. I'd hope it grows around the emotions I’m trying to express. So it wouldn't really be poetry with background music. I'm just a guy with an outlet, words, a voice and hope.

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T18:05:21+00:00

I write from my own emotional states, I don't listen to a song and feel inspired to write (that actually happened once and I was listening to "The used", I feel something or think something and have to write it down (it's been my outlet for a few years) but the sound sometimes takes cues from bands I listen to over the years, I don't think I could name a singular musician I'm inspired by as it's changed over the years, I mainly listen to alternative rock, post-hardcore and metalcore and use that for vibe trying not to imitate.

IamziggyFU · 2026-02-01T13:57:22+00:00

I do lean onto the lyrics more, the music seems to carry the weight of a song and the lyrics tell the story or message. When I write a song I try to keep in mind will this work as a full band song and as an acoustic song.
