OK, probably a strange question, but I cant phrase it any differently

I'm recording a metal band at the moment and there is a song with acoustic intro for 20 secs which segues directly into METAL CHAOS, i.e the song comes pounding in. I've been trying to figure out for myself how I'd get a massive crescendo(I can only describe it as shoooooooom!!!) directly from end of acoustic into the main song. I was goina couple timeg to record a distorted guitar s just playing a sustained chord and recording it to fadeout up a minor 3rd or 4th and then reverse it and use it for the intro. Gonna try it tomorrow, any other suggestions?
This is a demo I did for them last year.
