Can a 4-string violin be used to chug low-down and heavy thrash metal riffs?

What do you think?

Hi everyone, I did a little experiment. hahaha.

Check out a little video I made on Youtube:

You can find my youtube video by typing the keywords: "Thrash Metal Violin" in the search box on youtube.com

Any there any any violinists / bowed-string players who have tried distortion effects?

I'm interested to get in touch because most of the violinists I know play only classical music, and the shops in Singapore that sell distortion pedals usually only cater to guitar players' needs. I need to find a distortion pedal that is modded/tuned for bowed strings. hahaha.

Cheers!
