A Cappella metal!
« on: May 18, 2010, 05:22:07 AM »
I just found this amazing band who play metal a cappella style, and their latest album includes two covers (nightwish and manowar):

It ain't a capella since it has real drums. I'm sorry to be a stickler since I usually hate posts like the one I'm making but it's such an easy fix since beatboxing's been around for at least 30 years and you'd think with this being their gimmick they wouldn't have overlooked it. Nifty at any rate.

Knew about them for a while, I think someone posted them here a couple years ago, their cover of Metallica's Battery is hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEwNrjvNiYs&feature=channel
The whole thing doesn't really work out live though.

EDIT: OMG I just found out they covered Puppets in their latest album, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSpuVsLnl1k&feature=related

Does it really matter if you call it a cappella or just vocal-based metal? I think most people get the idea either way.

Anyways, it's cool stuff, though not something I'd listen to often.

All of that.  So shut up, black_floyd.  Just shut up.

Jesus Christ himself* comes down amidst a choir of 2 billion angels singing Handel's Hallelujah chorus. As KrotchRaut shred randomly on guitars made of dragon bones using picks made from God's kidney stones, Jesus heals a blind woman who promptly gives birth onstage to a creation of pure light.

*Yes, Jesus Christ himself. Nothing less will do.

The girls voice on the pre-chorus to MoP is pretty awesome. In fact she's pretty awesome overall.

Yeah I was quite taken back by her vocals. I actually really liked the sound of those songs when the people weren't impersonating guitars.

I heard them a while ago. Even though it sounds really weird at first, they are really damn good at doing it. I only heard the Battery and Wishmaster covers, I'd actually be interested in hearing a whole album :D
