Forgot to write it in my little spooky story but the source is The Nightmare Begins from FFVII

that's a nice name. thought it german because of the family name. i thought the choir fit nicely because everything before that is pretty synthetic, so it sounds relatively organic in comparison. if thinking in the greek modes helps you compose that's alright, but there's no rule either saying that you'd have to stick with a mode. what i'm hearing is what i call something like "dissonant thrash metal guitar riff" mode (because i learned most about it while learning classic metal guitar like metallica or slayer riffs.) it doesn't matter so much if it's a guitar or something else, it's about rhythm and dissonance. strictly thinking in the old diatonic modes isn't necessarily the best for doing good powerful and dark riffs like that - you might find that breaking it up with occasional chromaticism can work wonders. for example, the minor and major second can both sound very good in one riff if they're somehow used well interchangingly - and that's already beyond any of those modes. just something to keep in mind when composing stuff like this. the added freedom can be quite rewarding once you find out what you can do with it.
