A software program or online tool employing artificial intelligence algorithms creates verses and choruses suitable for the heavy metal music genre. These systems typically utilize machine learning models trained on extensive datasets of existing metal songs to produce novel lyrical content. The output often mimics the themes, vocabulary, and stylistic conventions characteristic of various subgenres within metal, such as death metal, black metal, or power metal. As an example, such a system might generate lines about dark fantasy themes in a melodic style.
The rising use of such technology stems from a few key factors. For musicians, it offers a source of inspiration, a means to overcome creative blocks, or a way to rapidly prototype lyrical ideas. For hobbyists and enthusiasts, it provides a novel way to engage with the genre, explore different lyrical styles, and even generate amusing or thought-provoking content. This technology builds upon the historical precedent of computational creativity, where algorithms are used to generate art, music, and literature.
