The spooky season is over and so far I had not shared anything related, I only did a review of a series of witches, but it was a coincidence, I did not do it for that reason, so I want to take this space to share a song that fits quite well with the spooky season. “Doomsday Party” is a song by the British power metal band DragonForce, a band that I have been listening and admiring for years for their melodies and harmonies, they have a style reminiscent of the music of video games of yesteryear which had fast and frenetic rhythms.
This musical style is one of my favorites, I like the fast rhythms of speed metal, for some reason I feel attracted to the frenetic riffs and the guitar solos that seem impossible because of their great speed, I always dreamed of being in a band of this type. Regarding the song, it has lyrics related to the end of the world, but from a comic point of view, if you watch the band's music video maybe you will understand better what I mean.
Lyrics
It's a doomsday party at the old town hall The doomsday party on the factory floor, we pray Say hey, hey, hey, hey
It's a doomsday party at the old town hall A doomsday party and a disco ball A doomsday party on the factory floor, we pray Say, hey, hey, hey, hey
So pack your bags tonight 'cause there's no one home Fading skies of blue are now an empty hole Endless winter nights, fuel is running low Spend our lives at work, but nothing to bring home
None of your prayers will be answered And none of your lives will be saved You're on a bad trip to the grave
It's a doomsday party at the old town hall A doomsday party and a disco ball A doomsday party on the factory floor, we pray Say, hey, hey, hey
It's a doomsday party, shake the bodies down You don't stop moving 'til you hit the ground A doomsday party, better raise your hands high here today Say, hey, hey, hey, hey
But still the clock ticks by in this lonely town When it's said and done, when the walls come down But we love our land, we accept our fate So we do what we're told and drink our vodka straight
None of your prayers will be answered And none of your lives will be saved You're on a bad trip to the grave
It's a doomsday party at the old town hall A doomsday party and a disco ball A doomsday party on the factory floor, we pray Say hey, hey, hey
It's a doomsday party, shake the bodies down You don't stop moving 'til you hit the ground A doomsday party, better raise your hands high here today Say hey, hey, hey, hey
Everything around was beautiful We were young, we were free then Everything was green and gold before And we danced in the stars Remember when we were so beautiful? But the rain started falling And everything in our whole world was grey And we lost what was ours
It's a doomsday party at the old town hall A doomsday party and a disco ball A doomsday party on the factory floor, we pray Say hey, hey, hey
It's a doomsday party, shake the bodies down You don't stop moving 'til you hit the ground A doomsday party, better raise your hands high here today Say hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey
Promotional video
By the way, I shot a promotional video related to Vibes and Hive and posted it on X, Shorts and Tik Tok.
This song originally has a length of more than 5 minutes, but I edited it to reduce it to 2 minutes, I did that with the Cubase5 application and the idea was to show you the most interesting parts of the song, besides, I didn't want to bore you with a 5 minutes video. I took the song from the band's official YouTube channel and removed the original bass to be able to record my bass line, I did that with the Moises application.
I hope that my participation will be to everyone's liking. Good luck to everyone in the contest!
