Metal Fans: How about some redneck black metal?

Well, i don't much care for the song, as I had said in your last question, but I do rather enjoy the banjo part, lol. It makes it sound folky, even if it is a "redneck" instrument. Actually, on second listen, I'm liking this song a bit more... not so much that I'd go out and buy the album yet, but I think it's possible that it could grow on me, lol.

Stone Cold Metal by Ensiferum also has a banjo in it, at 6:06:

Raise The Noise by Helloween has some kind of flute at 3:04

Пастушок by Калевала (Yeah, i don't know what they say either) has a mouth harp and an accordion in it... actually all their songs have the accordion, so this one's unique in having the mouth harp:

The "Unlaced" album by Emilie Autumn has a violin, which by itself isn't all that surprising, until you hear it (There's no guitars... like what Apocalyptica did with cellos, but she did it with a violin)

And there was another song, that I honestly can't remember, that had a theremin in it (that sci-fi instrument you don't touch, you just hold your hands over it to play)

To consume an auditory segment of folk banjo chicken pickin in Black Metal can be a very liberating experience, yes I do like that part. in fact, I like the rest of the song after 3:20 also. the guitar riffs change a little bit more than the previous more open chord approach to the song.

the chicken pickin was pretty average in technique, however, I respect the technique all around nonetheless. Brad Paisley has one of the most notable techniques in guitar world I suppose, Bryan Jobi has also got great technique but he is more blue grass underground not a very well known player, but good. then in mainstream "rock / metal" you have John 5 who is pretty good, never could understand why he teamed up with Marilyn Manson I suppose for the money and fame status.

I would rather play live guitar for a huge cemetery full of copses than play in front of a crowd of Marilyn Manson fans, in the end you'll be remembered just about the same by both parties.

MQ: All for it huge yay, experiment be innovative exercise your musical liberty.

MQ2: I am an avant-garde junkie, nothing surprises me in music anymore, and I have several Owen.

Hi Peace, yeah that's me. right now man? I turned contact adding off for many reasons that pertain to activity here. it's a long story buddy but just consider us still contacts if that's cool. it's nothing personal at all. Cheers!

Hahaha!! That was seriously funny! :D I loved it the banjo! But i think this should be used in moderation..i dont know about the rest of the album..so hopefully the banjo is used intelligently (bcz im definitely gonna check out the album)...Rest of the song is solid too!

MA2 : Cant think of many ..what comes to mind is this..

(the beginning and @ 11:45..guitar and sitar harmony sounds really nice if you ask me)

****EDIT :

@brian : Aren't you the same old brian?! Isn't there any way to add you as a contact? :P

***Oh cool..I've got no problems with that :)

that was a pretty good song the use of banjo was interesting

mq i think if done right any instrument can be used in black metal

there is a band called blood cult from downstate illinois who call themselves black metal rednecks cause they incorparate bluegrass and country elements in their music if you ever get a chance to hear their album we are the cult of the plains you shuold

there isnt much by them on youtube but here are a couple songs off we are the cult of the plains
