Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Difference between revisions

** Finntroll is a special case for Folk Metal. Along with the primary components of their music being black metal, Finnish folk music and "humppaa" style polka, over the years they've also added dashes of punk, classical, Caribbean music, honky tonk, and whatever else they felt like. They also sing exclusively about trolls in Swedish (although they are from Finland, Swedish sounds more like Troll).

** There are a number of different approaches to folk metal, ranging from the Black Metal with added Scandinavian folk of Finntroll to the English folk song made dark and growly of Skyclad

*** It has also indirectly spawned two other, similar sub-genres -- Viking Metal (Power, Black, or Death Metal with some traditional Scandanavian influence) and Pirate Metal (Power Metal with a touch of Folk Metal and a romantic pirate theme).

* Christian black metal. Wait... black metal?

* Waltari are a perfect example: Alternative metal, punk, techno, electronic, rap, death metal, grindcore, hard rock, symphonic, folk, thrash, pop, funk, industrial and drum 'n' bass are [http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/waltari/big_bang/ all] quite merrily [http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/waltari/radium_round/ put together] on the [http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/waltari/blood_sample/ same album]. And the best part is it actually works.

* Scissor Shock, who have even managed to combine this with [[Genre Roulette]].

* [[Guns N' Roses (Music)|Guns N' Roses]]. The bands classic lineup were all into rock music but the band members each had their own style influenced by a different genre. Axl was included by more melodic and heavily arranged music like [[Queen]], Slash was based in blues and ratty hard rock like [[Aerosmith (Music)|Aerosmith]], Izzy edged more towards simple acoustic song writing like [[Bob Dylan]], Duff was punk and Steven was the hair metal scene. Together these influences came together and made ''Appetite For Destruction'' what it was. They replaced Steven with Matt Sorum, which swapped the hair metal vibe for a big epic arena sound which added a little flair to ''Use Your Illusion''.

** And that's before getting into the new release, ''Chinese Democracy'', where Axl [[I Am the Band|is the only member of the original lineup left]], and a rotating cast of musicians contributed to the album. The album has more of an [[Industrial Rock]] feel, helped by the fact that [[Nine Inch Nails]] guitarist Robin Finck is one of the few to perform in all songs.

** Also from Brazil, two bands (one with a comedic vein, and another straight satire) embodied this in the 90s: Raimundos played "Forrócore", mixing traditional rhythm forró with hardcore punk, and Mamonas Assassinas had along with straight comedy rock (or in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2OgT5IZzeY one case], comedy metal), rock parodies of Brazilian country, forró, pagode and Portuguese music.

* No love for Thrice? They started out your typical hardcore metal band - and then, with the release of their later albums, moved into far more experimental territory. Some songs on the Earth disk of the Alchemical Index sound like Bluegrass and Jazz!

* With so many references to "Thrash crossed with..." it's possibly easy to forget that Thrash itself was a cross between early 80's British Metal and the Punk music.

* Abney Park is a Seattle-based band that does steampunk music, to brilliant effect.

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_CzD0GBD-4&playnext=0&videos=aL6b6G8BGLA&feature=artistob Yoshida Brothers] fuse rock stylings with the distinctive sounds of the shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument that looks something like a three-string banjo. They've been called the "[[Jimi Hendrix]] of the shamisen", just to give you an idea.

* [[Candiria]] plays something they like to call "urban fusion", which draws influences from [[Metalcore|metalcore]], [[Jazz|jazz fusion]], [[Hip Hop|hip-hop]], and [[Ambient|ambient]].
