For this song I am allowed to play only 2 note tritone chords on the guitar tracks. No single notes.
A tritone is referring to a particular musical interval (how far away two notes are from each other) and is renowned for it's dissonance and harsh feeling of tension. A tritone name refers to the 3 whole tone distance between the two notes.
It's used to great effect in a lot of different genres, but straight up 2 note only tritone chords I most closely associate with Deathcore. And I can't think of anywhere else where it's used anywhere near as often. Particular the band Oceano came to mind while writing this.
It's rumored that the tritone was banned in medieval times, that you could be jailed for using it, that people believed it could summon the devil... None of which are actually true, but make for a great story that really fits in well with this harsh musical interval.
