“Theory is something that is written down after the music has been made so we can explain it to others”– Levi Clay
As you say .. just make music.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Metal, I think, has become the worst offender. I used to joke it was all Metalcore, Grindcore, bloody Applecore ... and now there are at least 3 sub genres of grindcore, which is a sub genre of metalcore which is ... blah blah blah.
Maybe I'm just getting old
And that's not all by a long shot .....

So I suppose, I would be in the spirit of the task writing a War Metal track and subverting it to be a Viking Metal track ....
Daft thing is, I really do consider myself a fan of metal, and I'm pretty sure I'd struggle to pick out some of these in a line up. Except for Drone Metal ... that one stands out, God bless Sunn O)))!
To be honest, you'd be in the spirit of the task if you write anything We just want to get more people involved. You might get more votes if there's some link to the theme, but that's not guaranteed.
I find having some sort of theme helps me produce something, even if it were something weird like "write music for cows". Which is probably a cue for jokes about moo-sic.

I know @DeeplyDazzled from SoundCloud and have done a few collaborations with him - I think you'll all enjoy his contributions.

Oops: I should point out that you have the right to remain anonymous. Email me if that's the case.
btw. you get a point if you also submit a picture, but it's entirely your choice.
See extract below from the first post in the thread.
"Picture: In addition to the music, try to create your own picture that relates to your interpretation of the theme. This isn't mandatory but, as a small incentive, those that provide a picture will be awarded a free point to add to their voting score. Note the picture can be anything from a hand drawn sketch, photo, photo edit or something generated in a graphics package"
You may ask, why do we have a picture? Here's my somewhat dodgy reasoning
1) It adds to the fun
2) Tradition: Antique_guitars, who previously ran this challenge, asked for a picture to accompany the music
3) It's nice to package the music with some form of artwork. I remember album sleeves from my youth, which were part of the experience. Even modern digital music is packaged with some sort of artwork.
4) I like making pictures.
Remember, the submission deadline is Midnight 28 February 2018 and I'll post the entries for voting shortly after that.
When you send them, please include your forum name in the email, as I don't possess psychic powers
Having said that, I've manage to figure out who sent today's entry.
An exemplary contestant.
Never heard that in my life. That I’m aware of. Heard plenty of Pentatonic Metal in my time.
