ChiliGoggles - Dead Riffs

Dark, cinematic alternative metal with hypnotic polyrhythmic drums, cavernous bass, razor-wire guitars, and haunted atmospheric textures. Male vocals shifting between intimate whisper, desperate melodic tension, and explosive primal screams. Songs should feel ritualistic, psychological, sensual, and apocalyptic at once. Dense layered production with industrial corrosion, ghostly ambience, tribal percussion, dissonant harmonics, reverse reverbs, analog decay, and sudden dynamic drops into near silence before catastrophic impact. Lyrics poetic and symbolic rather than literal, exploring obsession, betrayal, transcendence, body horror, technological decay, spiritual collapse, memory fragmentation, and ecstatic violence. Avoid pop structure. Long evolving arrangements with eerie clean passages erupting into crushing walls of sound. Mood: nocturnal, suffocating, intelligent, emotionally dangerous, like a cathedral sinking into black water while machines dream beneath it.
