I'm a fan of mashing two genres together. It's recognizable songs in a new format!
Bluegrass covers of Rock songs
Metal covers of classical music
Classical covers of Pop songs
Video game music played by a Big Band
Wild obscure shit!
This is the goal over at !coververse@lemmy.world Check it out
Frog Leap Studios has some great metal. Covers of other genres
System of a Down did an excellent cover of “Shame on a N,” which probably wouldn’t fly today.
Plus one for awesome metal guitarists playing Tchaikovsky and the like.
Cello groups covering the likes of Aphex Twin and Nine Inch Nails are excellent.
Pretty much just trying to reenforce this comment with some examples people can find.
I'm a big System fan, so I have heard that one before. The first time I heard it i was like "I guess if Wu Tang's ok with it, it's allowed." 🤷🏻♂️😂
The Norfolk Orchestra has some neat covers of Radiohead. Definitely worth listening to.
You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!
They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I'd be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.
Bridge City Sinners are great! I was so disappointed to learn of them just after they'd come through my city on tour.
That they are. I just found them recently. They're certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I've really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.
I discovered them through this Murderfolk playlist on Spotify. That playlist introduced me to the murderfolk genre and a lot of bands.
Mariachi el Bronx do covers of pop songs.
You might enjoy this then.
Nice! I dig it!
That kinda describes Ween's oeuvre.
