Every song on this site was generated with Suno V5 in Custom Mode. This page shows exactly what went into Suno for each song: the Style of Music field, the full Lyrics field (with metatags and arrangement notes), and the Exclude Styles field.
These prompts were built through research and iteration. Some worked on the first or second generation. Others took multple rounds of testing one variable at a time. The techniques below are the result of that process, and they could be applied to any genre in Suno — not just post-hardcore.
(half-time, stripped back, heavy and slow) under each section label tell Suno how to play that section. This is the primary way to control dynamics within a song.Adapted from “Dulce et Decorum Est” — Wilfred Owen, 1920
