Type-B-Negative - Scars On My Arms [Gothic Metal / Doom Metal]

I spent a bit more time on this one than usual, but the result was worth it! It actually started as a completely different song, in a different genre. But I couldn’t get the intro out of my head—it was haunting me for days. So, I decided to tear the track apart and rebuild it from that intro into a Type-B-Negative vibe. Once I had that down, the rest flowed naturally.

For the visuals, I kept it simple this time with abstract shapes and some 'Thick Red Liquid Paint' for a darker touch.

This one has easily become one of my personal favorites. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Process:

- Carefully craft meaningful, personal lyrics using several lyric AI's.
- Feed those lyrics to music AI's to generate the foundation of the track.
- Describe my mood or the creatures from my mind, and create the song piece by piece with music AI's.
- Envision the imagery that comes to mind while listening to the song, then generate artwork with AI (it can get pretty dark).
- Animate the artwork with AI for a dynamic visual experience.
- Upscale and interpolate all the artwork using Adobe After Effects.
- Edit everything into an abstract music video with some help from AI in Adobe Premiere Pro.

To be clear: this is the result of me spending lots of time and playing with several AI's. There is NO substitute for the real Type-O-Negative, you know that and i know that!

Lyrics:

I've been running through the darkness
Trying to find a way to breathe
I've been fighting with the demons
That live inside of me
Every bruise and every burden
Tells the story of my fight
But I'm standing here, broken
Stripped of all my light.

Oh, the nights I felt it breaking
Oh, the days I felt the strain
But these scars are my reminders
That I've walked a path of pain

These scars on my arms
They tell my story
Every cut, every wound
Every battle I've faced
They show the moments I thought I was falling
But I made it through, oh, I made it through

There were times I felt like drowning
I've got nothing left but tears
And the weight of all my failures
Holding me captive through the years
I found strength in every struggle
Found my courage in the pain
Now these scars are like my armor
My savior and my bane

Oh, the nights I felt it breaking
Oh, the days I felt the strain
But these scars are my salvation
They're the proof that I remain

These scars on my arms
they tell my story
Every cut, every wound
every battle I've faced
They show the moments I thought I was falling
But I made it through, oh, I made it through

These scars on my arms
They're not wounds anymore
They're just proof of who I've been
And what I'm fighting for
