Has anyone heard the new single from the battle metal band Turisas?!
They have done a cover of Boney M's 70's disco hit Rasputin!! they played it live when i saw them last week and it's so good haha!
Original: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kvDMlk3kSYg

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D :D :D :D

ra ra rasputin, russias greatest love machine.... i remeber when my dad used to play this.. horrible then, horrible now.
and now they're tryin to compete with hip hop videos, with all those bikini chicks and a pimp? meh
though i guess it would be a fun song if you were drunk...
sorry, experiences with boney m and other disco acts in my childhood, prohibit me from enjoying any kind of reference to that era of music.

hahaha, i think the video is supposed to be a complete piss take of hip hop videos.

PAH! - it doesn't beat Deicide's cover of Black Night :D

:D What the F**k is Battle Metal ?
Metal is becoming like baked beans......there`s so many different varieties !! [ most of which i`m afraid to say are S**t ]
Manowar are total & were total cr@p ! why do so many Europeans want to copy them ?

:D Ahhh ! got `ya.
So if i put on a space suit & play Metal i`ll be Space Metal, if i put a keyboard solo in it i`ll be Progressive Space Metal & if we then play at a thousand miles an hour we`ll be sh*t or Dragon force ! gotcha

i must say, it's kinda growing on me, on the silly part

It's so catchy!

It's so catchy!
that was the problem of the disco era.. it's catchy, but it's obnoxious use of synths and everything newly electronic, makes it SUCK

Chic is the sole reason I don't start a rant regarding the evils of disco

They do it because nothing genuinely new has happened to the genre for years.
It's a sad state of affairs for metal when the only thing which really separates bands is their costumes.
I may well take some flack for this, but unless someone can show me a band where I can A) bear to listen through an entire track and B) don't immediately think "trying to be slayer/metallica/iron maiden/whoever" I'm sticking by it.
I'm not saying there aren't current metal bands about who I like (SOAD being my particular favourite), and I don't think indie is any better, but I do think this, riff harder, scream louder, different hat; voila! new genre thing is ridiculous.

I wouldn't call Turisas something like that, they have a violin player and an accordion player, who else has that, more to the point where do you find a metal playing accordion player?!?!
So they are doing something different imo.

Metal accordion is certainly fairly individual, but the style in which they operate isn't particularly.
I'd like to hear a band which is far and way totally unique in its style, like gogol bordello- once you've heard a few songs, there's no way you could mistake them for anyone else. If you took away the accordion, the violin, and the Ukrainian singing, they would still sound unique. to a relative outsider such as myself, a lot of metal bands sound very similiar.

Well in the case of violin I would mention Nazareth.
Other rock violin I would suggest searching for Nash the Slash, Dave Swarbrick and Ric Sanders other bands such as The Who, All About Eve, Fairport Convention, The Mission & Slade for one (don't judge them from their hit singles) used the violin in the rock / folk rock / hard rock genres
As for accordian, I would say never mention those in any discussion involving musical instruments.

korpiklaani have been doing it for years ;) and their accordion player does play metal tunes such as run to the hills, the trooper, angel of death etc etc on it hehe
as for the violin, it's been videly used in metal. especially power metal
-
Well i thought it was cool...
The Deicide cover of black night is funny as hell.
I found this ammusing aswel..

Oh yeah i forgot about them!
I was thinking about other folk/battle bands like Ensiferum who just use keyboards for it.
I just don't think you can call such a band like Turisas or Korpiklaani or whatever just heavy metal, it would be good if we could, but nowadays we can't.

My first instrument was the button-keyed accordian (none of your piano-keyed stuff for me, oh thank you know), and it has been on a stage with a few metal bands for laughs. Surprisingly good blues instrument too.
It can sound shockingly decent miked up, going through a small coterie of pedals and a JCM800.

In my first year at Uni my mate played the accordion and I remember him figuring out riffs from Metallica's Black Album.

it's a very versatile instrument. can be used for anything, blues, bluegrass, folk, metal, pop, you name it. it has its unique voice that not many people like though

Not forgetting Kansas and Skyclad.
And the Charlie Daniels Band.

My mother in law plays the accordion :(

The way i see it is, it sounds like 'going into battle music' and that's what it is supposed to be so just call it battle metal.
