I'm going to explore this genre a little further because its got some phenomenal potential, but this Skyclad song just borders on minstrel music with darker overtones and a violin.
I think if it were Metal as we think of it today, only played acoustically, it would be a better genre. But (and I'm going by this one song post only) I'm finding some gross hybrid of chamber grass (Punch Brothers) and...I don't know, the love child of Dio and Jethro Tull.
It also sounds to me like a group of nerds got together and played songs made popular by Zelda. Still, it should say something that I'm compelled to dig a little further than this one song that I've found so many things wrong with.
I'd also love to find an aggressive (metal-like) jam band because whenever I hear the Jam Bands go for something darker, I'm always a little more interested. Thanks for the post though, this just got real interesting.
