Feb 2022 metal fast short 190bpm ode-to-coffee frantic-solo guitars
This one'll wake you up, that's for sure. It wouldn't be FAWM without at least one song extolling the virtues of the one beverage to rule them all.
And nobody was more surprised than me when I pulled off that three-part harmony solo without needing a single edit...
However dark the days are,
However rough the night
However hard the ways are,
Coffee always puts things right
It's what I'd write a speech for
Caffeine's what I reach for
How did life evolve without a coffee?
Could civilisation even rise?
All problems are resolved by coffee
To do without's not something I'd advise
When I need a shake-up
to put things back on track
The first thing when I wake up
is to fix my caffeine lack
If you need a necromancer
just to get you through the week
My friend, a coffee is the answer
you don't know you seek

Coffee is what I reach for too. Ha ha! Very entertaining song. I'll bet you wrote this one right after drinking a nice coffee. I can feel the buzzz. :)
@ryako Mar 2022
Coffee!!! This song is accurate and I'm sure every coffee drinker can relate. I like that you sing/spoke this and it definitely works with this genre.
@bithprod Mar 2022
Niiice! Black coffee metal FTW! Solid drums, killer guitars and growling. Don't be afraid to pump up the bass a few notches. Headbangingly good track, well done.
@dragondreams Mar 2022
It's a coffee song! Of course I'm going to listen. :-D
Awesome vocal approach on this one. And the manic metal drumming had me grinning from the very opening beat.
This will be my new caffeine-deprivation-driven morning anthem as I fire up the Sage for my first cappuccino of the day.

Coffee doesn’t solve everything but it’s an essential ingredient, good point about how civilization rose without it. An argument for aliens who had coffee imposing civilization on us.
@sierain Feb 2022
Nice song! Are you Ziltoid? What is it with metal and coffee? This has something very Judas Priest about it.
@heliosonorous Feb 2022
Well done metal track! Really liked the lyrics and you make this all work excellently!
@aeye Feb 2022
m/ m/ Nothing like a metal track about the joys of coffee to get you going in the morning while drinking your morning coffee.
@ineloquentsd Feb 2022
You have a real talent for slightly tongue-in-cheek lyrics. Also, way to suit instrumentals to subject matter. The beat is driving just like coffee drives me! Not to mention the incredible guitar solo, my gods. Very well done.
@frey Feb 2022
Enthralling as always, that harmony guitar solo caught me so off guard, amazing
@juoppis Feb 2022
Ah, caffeine, the legal drug.
I'm nowadays just having 1-2 mugs per day. I once tried too many caffeine pills at the same time and I do not, I repeat, DO NOT suggest that.
But coffee is the answer. And this song. Your metal gets better every year.
Maybe this is related to the Duncan Hills coffee jingle that Dethklok made in Metalocalypse?
@fuzzy Feb 2022
Ah yes, coffee is my best friend.
Excellent lyrics, and your scary vocal delivery really sells this.
Whoa, awesome solo.
I'm liking your metal side.
Nice.
@doggolito Feb 2022
That intro fill is mindblowing and I really love your growling voice !
Crazy solo, driving kick drums from start to finish, I'm loving it all
@sbs2018 Feb 2022
The bpm definitely accentuates the frenzy of coffee addiction - lol! At first I thought it was going to be a beverage of a different kind, which seemed rather surprising for you. I should have known better. Ha!
@ductapeguy Feb 2022
That is sooo very heavy. You rock the ominous metal groove.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
I’m with you all the way on this one. How did life evolve indeed? That solo is majestic, love your metal guitar tones as always!
@sirius Feb 2022
Whoa, feels like a gust of wind messing my hair up! Now I need to run frantically around the house to spend the energy this song ingrained in me!
I love the croaky vocals. I wonder if coffee would help make my voice rougher? Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to drink coffee, my human says I *really* don't need it.
Hooray for coffee all the same, hooray for coffeecore and its master! *Leaps*
@helenseviltwin Feb 2022
This is superb! Rock'n'ROFL :P
@tcelliott Feb 2022
Not a coffee drinker, but I see why it's called the "dark side." Guitars and vocals are killer.
@sapient Feb 2022
Yes, yes, YES!!!
HFO reaches for the button marked "METAL" and my day gets immediately better.
I love the way your voice sounds on this. Like a corss between a coffee ad voiceover and someone who really needs that cuppajoe :D
@vomvorton Feb 2022
Coffee has generally done the job, but now I'm wondering if I should cut back a little and bring a necromancer on board? That harmony solo is awesome, kudos for the athletic fingerwork!
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
PS I'm now going to make a coffee.
@sw1n3flu Feb 2022
\m/ YES CHRIS!
Jesus. You weren't joking about that solo!
Necromancer rhymes with answer oh yes it does :)
