Violin Metal

It's a great concept, I mean most neo classical shred guitarists worship Paganini, and they often try to emulate the tone of a violin, so you would think more metal bands would experiment with actual violins.

It's kinda hard to find metal bands with violins or cellos.(although cellos might work better due to its deeper sound)
Imo, the combination works very well with doom metal(since you can produce a mournful/depressing kinda sound with these instruments)
Apocalyptica have some cool stuff, but too inconsistent imo.

Check out Asunder...a Funeral Doom band with cool cellos.

Just some others that come to mind-

Haggard - Symphonic medieval kinda atmosphere with lots of doom elements...orchestra oriented.

Virgin Black - Doom/symphonic metal from Australia...They make use of cello's in many of their tracks. Should check out the Requiem Trilogy.(Requiem - Pianissimo, Mezzo Forte & Fortissimo)

As for the topic starter, finding the music itself is hard...getting the sheet music is goona be even harder. I suggest googleing.

Indukti - Toolish metal with Violin as the lead. I'm not sure where the tabs would be, but it's awesome music nonetheless.

If you go to Composer Anton Patzner's myspace. He has free sheet music from a movie he composed from called Rose.

Oh, And one more thing. Saturnus is a doom metal band, and has this song. This is not exactly metal, but violin parts are awesome.

Hi, Jio_Fleed_on_The_Roof,
I just listened to Judgement Day, as suggested by one of the other people in this thread, and felt the violin player actually sounded very classical throughout almost the whole piece, using traditional vibrato, chords, etc. The song I heard reminded me of one of my favorite Suzuki method violin pieces I played as a child ("La Folia"), which I always loved because it has anger and intensity that well up as the piece progresses. Have you considered just taking some existing classical pieces that have this sound and modifying them to create the song you want?

There's Judgement Day. They are a violin, cello and drums instrumental metal band from San Francisco and their new record comes with sheet music for one of the songs. Check them out at stringmetal.com

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!

My Dying Bride uses a lot of violin and The Great Kat uses mostly violins
