Acoustic Metal?

[vilk]

make acoustic covers of songs that are actually heavy.



Also Opeth.

Also Drudkh has an entire acoustic album that I love called Songs Of Grief And Solitude

Yeah, Opeth.. can't go wrong with their acoustic stuff, hell you can even learn their entire songs on acoustic without it sounding bad!

Couldn't link it as I'm on an iPod but somewhere on YouTube is a video of Devin Townsend playing "Love?" by SYL acoustically.

Name some bands that have some epic acoustic pieces or songs. I have been stripped away of all my gear at the moment and all I have is an acoustic. I want some inspiration.

Check out Empyrium, they're like Ulver's Kveldssanger the non-dabbly version. Their first two albums are half doom-metal but "Where at Night the Wood-Grouse Plays" and "Weiland" are really dark, moody acoustic.

Check out some Agalloch, lots of acoustic stuff going on with them. And Alcest also comes to mind. Might wanna check them out too.

+1 Agalloch, The Mantle is more acoustic but i personally prefer Ashes against the Grain

Days of the New - probably more hard rock than metal, but there's some AWESOME stuff on the second and third disc:

 

[Hollowway]

You could always do some Rodrigo y Gabriella covers. They're Orion cover is awesome. Getting her rhythmic strumming technique down is a bear, but it would give you something to practice, that's for sure!

Marty Friedman's acoustic solo in Holy Wars...The Punishment Due is pretty sick.

 

[gunch]

I wanted to like this so bad but I couldn't deal with the singer when I first found this a few months back.

Not as huge on beeteebam as I used to be but this is still awesome

 

[Ikiharmaa]

not something I'd learn to play, but this is pretty damn metal




this I might want to learn to play however:




aaaand, here's the epic:

 

[Korbain]

Yeah, Opeth.. can't go wrong with their acoustic stuff, hell you can even learn their entire songs on acoustic without it sounding bad!

I think he writes most of the music on acoustic, something about it if its sounds heavy on acoustic, its going to sound super heavy on electric lol

Def the band i'd recommend, along with a few alice in chains songs

 

[bamfrosty]

acoustic black metal

 

[Vairish]

3. Prog rock band with a lot of acoustic work in their songs.

[Eryalus]

someone beat me to ewan dobson xP he actually has an acoustic metal album out, it's cool

Borknagar released an entire album of acoustic music called Origin.

Yes, they did. And it was the single most boring album I've ever heard. Considering how much I enjoy Vintersorg when they slow it down, I was really disappointed.

Speaking of Vintersorg...



You can certainly tell it's a ballad, but its lined with some of their metallic sounds.
