I would like to see metal covers of a lot of classical pieces, the key is an issue in a lot of pieces however. Needs to be all in minors in order to get the full effect.
In that case, I think some of the Bach Violin Concertos would be appropriate. Check out this violinist: Kyung Wha Chung - Bach - Violin Concerto - A
min - Allegro:
linkChildren of Bodom - Vivaldi - Summer That is some cool stuff.
I thought you might like that. I just discovered a new metal band to enjoy. I found that just by u-tubing "Vivaldi"+"metal", because, as you said, Vivaldi is
very metal. I think that Baroque composers in general are.
I would say the Top Five Metal Baroque Composers would include:
Vivaldi
Bach
Scarlatti (the son)
OK, Scarlatti (the father) too
Buxtehude or Sweelink or Frescobaldi or Froberger
That is, if you like keyboards in your metal (like overwhelming church-organ sheer sonic spaciousness or intricately contrived clavi- or harpsichord
barroca pearls of freakishly formed formal beauty).
I would like to see Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King (Slayer) do some classical covers.
Unfortunatly a YouTube search of "Slayer classical" only comes up with Raining Blood.
I lol'd at the second sentence. Slayer is indeed classic.
