Black metal mandolin

[Ausdoerrt]

Thought I'd post a video from a recent gig. A friend asked me if I could play some violin with their black metal band - I said let's add some mandolin too!

Below is the result (far from perfect, I know, but I'm learning).

The mandolin does fit in, but any instrument can work with black metal. I do artwork for my friends black metal band.hes a singer,, err ,a 'vocalist', since I never could understand a word he is grunting and screaming. To be honest, out of everything I listen to, I remove myself from the black metal scene, my friend used to play me a lot of it, and I didn't care for hardly any of it. Besides, I thought the face painting thing was dead and over...

The mandolin fit in well. In fact, it almost sounded like electrified folk music as I couldn't make out (or even hear) the singer in most of that. Good job mixing in some mandolin!

I like when different folk instruments are added to the basic BM sound. You guys have a bigger tolerance for it in your part of the world. A band like Turisas can play to 10,000 people there, and lucky to draw 100-200 here in most US cities.
