Two New Afrobeat-Style Metal Beats For May...

Share and discuss your LMMS music projects here, and see what people think!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Team LMMS!

I can understand that there have been problems with this forum and its bugs; however, this hasn't stopped me from preparing two new metal-styled Afrobeat tunes for you to hear and enjoy.

The first one is called: Ashanti Sunrise (SPOILER: it's slower-paced):
via SoundCloud: Ashanti Sunrise
via YouTube: Ashanti Sunrise

...and the second is called: Boom Bomb Shaker (ANOTHER SPOILER: it's a little faster with an 'Amapiano' influence):
via SoundCloud: Boom Bomb Shaker
via YouTube: Boom Bomb Shaker

Lend your ears to both and chime in your two cents!
(DISCLAIMER: Since this my first time working with and practicing a genre with an African influence please go easy on me...)

at the very least you didnt just made another trap beat of which the industry is way too oversaturated... keep up the great work!

Not necessarily, I'm just getting some practice learning new genres outside of rock/metal, EDM, and hip-hop. I add a touch of rock/metal-like guitar riffs to my beats like the aforesaid--plus the shaker roll at the end of each sequence to spice things up and set it apart from the usual. Overall, thanks for the kudos...I'm glad you enjoyed it!
