[QUOTE="Snowden:993004"][QUOTE="arilliusbm:992719"]I'm waiting for American Folk Metal - blastbeats and black metal screams, then banjo and fiddle duels. Before someone says Devin in the Kitchen, yea - no shit. But no banjo = fail.[/QUOTE] If you're thinking of hectic bluegrass banjo, that's not really a folk style of playing - it was more or less invented (based on earlier styles) in the 40s. Real folk banjo (clawhammer, 2- and 3- finger picking) is a lot less bombastic. I actually think about what "North American folk metal" would sound like a lot (I spend more time playing banjo/mandolin than heavy metal now that I live in Western Mass.) and it's tough because so many of the actual melodies are just so chipper and major key sounding compared to Irish and especially Norwegian folk music. And the stuff that sounds dark tends to be more drone-y and modal - a lot of North American folk music didn't even have chords until it started to become commercialized in the 20s-30s. I mean, I'm sure someone will figure it out and it'll sound interesting, but it seems like a much trickier fit than Euro folk music. PS like on that Forteresse record, the fiddle samples sound kind of cool but still totally disconnected from the actual songs.[/QUOTE]
