Metal requires the most specific Suno prompting of any genre. Vague prompts get watered-down rock. You need exact sub-genre terms, specific guitar techniques, and clear tempo directions.
Pick your platform, copy the prompt, paste into Musicgen. Each one is engineered for a specific output format — not just the same Metal prompt repeated 5 times.
Instant hook — grabs attention within the first 3 seconds. Best for vlogs, tutorials, and video intros.
Full song structure optimized for streaming playlists and distribution.
Viral-optimized 30-second hook. Catchy chorus that loops well.
Instrumental background that sits under narration without competing with it.
Cinematic version for visual media — trailers, game levels, or short films.
