Brazilian urban rock style rooted in skate punk, hardcore, and rap rock influences, The sound should be energetic, raw, and rhythm-driven, combining distorted guitars, punchy basslines, and tight, groove-oriented drums, Tempo and rhythm should feel forward-moving and physical, suitable for live performance and crowd energy, Vocals should alternate between melodic hooks and spoken or semi-rapped delivery, with a casual but assertive tone, The performance must feel natural and street-level, avoiding polish that removes grit, Backing vocals can be used sparingly to reinforce choruses or key phrases, Lyrical themes should focus on everyday urban life, personal resilience, friendship, self-determination, frustration with social systems, and individual freedom, The language should be simple, direct, and conversational, prioritizing authenticity over metaphor, Avoid spiritual or beach-related imagery; keep the setting grounded in the city, movement, and

Late 1960s Psychedelic Hard Rock, Slow, hypnotic 72 BPM groove anchors bombastic, echo-laden drums and round, overdriven bass, Farfisa organ—saturated, vibrato-soaked—grinds dominant layers, Fuzz-drenched guitar sustains with feedback swells, Wide stereo spread, primitive mastering, analog tape warmth, subtle vinyl crackle, Minor-key, two-chord vamp generates a repetitious, ominous trance, punctuated by drone-heavy, extended instrumental jams

the base is technical death metal, math metal, and avant-garde metal, Opening with distant synth drones and ethereal binaural choirs, the track slowly introduces electric cellos and resonant gongs to build a vast, cosmic film score atmosphere, Two electric guitars and bass create powerful, dark, ethereal, sombre, disonant, churning textures as the drums shift between slow, thunderous rhythms and syncopated fills, Gothic symphonic layers emerge, led by female vocals seamlessly blending mesosoprano vibrato passages with dramatic operatic flair, then plunging into guttural death metal growls during intense climaxes, Grand, metallic riffs, cinematic crescendos, and layered percussions evoke drama and astral beauty throughout this hybrid cosmic metal epic, The style of singing is spoked or narrated, but the chorus are singed morphing from opera to death metal

ARQ; Emotional folk-punk with cinematic dynamic control and subtle rock contrast, Male vocal: deep, chest-heavy, breathy, with natural rasp and broken phrasing, Performance is restrained in verses — whispery, intimate, cracked, never belted, Emotion builds gradually; chorus gains intensity but remains controlled, Full vocal release only in the bridge and final chorus, with raw belting and irregular vibrato under emotional strain, Acoustic guitar is fingerpicked in verses, strummed in chorus, Folk violin tremolo swells emotionally, Electric guitar appears only in chorus/bridge as melodic contrast — crying, not heavy, Drumset is analog, tom-driven, dynamic, Overall mix: raw, analog warmth, vocal forward, ambient room tone, Loudness: -11 LUFS

4:59

Atmospheric glitch pop, alternative gothic metal fusion with a sense of emotional detachment and quiet despair, Sparse drums, emotional string passes, washed-out synths, distorted guitars and reverb-heavy, raw, breathy female rock vocals that sound distant and almost indifferent, The production feels cinematic yet hollow that kinda fills up in the choruses — like a faded memory, The mood is depressive and nostalgic, as if mourning something that can’t be felt anymore, Think muted tones, slow pulsing beats, and crackling lyrics that observe sadness rather than express it

4:52

Dark 1980s blues-rock with a tense, rebellious edge, Gritty electric guitars with palm-muted riffs, heavy bass groove, sharp snare hits, and dry room reverb, Vocals are rough, emotional, slightly shouted — full of anger and conviction, Minimal arrangement with raw analog tone and a hypnotic, mid-tempo pulse around 96 BPM in E minor, Add faint organ or synth background for atmosphere, tape warmth, and echo on the voice to give a sense of isolation and defiance, Feels like a live performance captured in one intense take
