forest metal

[Xorv]

looking for more forest metal....

 

[The Ozzman]

What in the fucking hell is forest metal?

 

[mutantllama]

wat

 

[muzmaze]

Metal that encompasses the fealing of nature, the sound of guitars and violins whistling through the trees...get the point? I didn't think so.
"Forest Metal"...WTF!?

 

[Einherjar86]

Haha, yes! Forest metal!

I am picturing a bunch of Scandinavian metallers with heavy lisps sitting around a bonfire: "Hey guyth, letsth record an album in the foresth amidsth the treeth and wilderneth. And we'll call it 'Foresth Metal!'

Which one of the black metal bands supposedly recorded an album in a cottage somewhere in the woods? I know it was one of the big ones, but I always forget which one.

Ulver?

 

[Killbot]

I doubt this is a real request, but I have a real recommendation at any rate - Ethereal Woods.
Their album 'In The Forest of Arden' is almost entirely about the woods around where they live.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

I should make a thread requesting beech metal or hill metal.

 

[The Ozzman]

How about Anthill Metal?

 

[General Zaroff]

I should make a thread requesting beech metal or hill metal.

or Beech Hill Bar metal

Hill metal is for pussies. Real men listen to Mountain metal.

Didn't Zeppelin do that?

Rhapsody's stuff often deals with the beauty of nature, and uses medieval folk music that gets a very foresty feel. Also, frequently uses nature sounds.
But you'll think they're gay.
Also...most ridiculous thread ever.

Sort Vokter - Folkloric Necro Metal

 

[Einherjar86]

Ulver?

I thought it was either Ulver or Burzum; but I think you're right, it was Ulver.

Didn't Zeppelin do that?

They may have, I'm not sure. Sounds like something Page would want to do.

 

[Xorv]

forest metal is a real sub-genre.

 

[waif]

no, it isn't.



















I have nothing to back that up, just going on the assumption that nothing that ridiculous can exist.



If it's a real sub-genre, please fill us in on what it entails.

 

[Xorv]

Forest metal: Running around a dark forest with a $25 Casio keyboard and a $5 mic

 

[Einherjar86]

That would be shitty music.

 

[waif]

It would be fucking kvlt.

































So in other words, yes it would.
