Hey Syt or whoever, are there any good Viking Metal bands that don't growl? I kind of like Månegarm's song Blodörn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0SPCd2TBJk), which is kind of as growly as I can take it. So preferably less growly than that.

Seems to me that it's either growl or acoustic folksy style in Viking bands. Sad!

For instance Amon Amarth's Twilight Of The Thunder God is a nice song, but the growling makes it unlistenable to me. Sabaton's cover makes it more palatable, but still...
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I only know one and it's Myrkyr. She does very limited growling.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue  :cool:

Recorded in two sessions with almost no preparation; yet with those musicians (Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Jimmy Cobb, Paul Chambers, Julian Adderley and Wynton Kelley) it almost couldn't not be a masterpiece.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra had an on-line concert which featured Stravinsky's Circus Polka.  This was actually commissioned by Ringling Brother's Circus and they had their elephants dance to it.  At the time (1942) the circus was of such prominence that Roosevelt had given them special permission for extra fuel so that they could run their trains during the war.

They also had a Violin Concerto by Wynton Marsalis (no, I didn't know he composed for the violin either.)  It wasn't bad, sort of a cross between Charles Ives, Duke Ellington and George Gershwin.

I once saw Wynton play the music of Louis Armstrong; that was incredible.  It was the only Armstrong revival I've ever been to that didn't try to make his music sound like middle of the road music for old people.

I love Wynton Marsalis. The only thing I love more than listening to him play music is listening to him talk about it.

Great discussion

Wynton is only on one or two tracks, Bill Evans is on the rest; Evans is key to the sound.  Cobb was there b/c of Philly Joe Jones' drug problems, but was perfect match for those sessions.

Fun thing: listen to "So What" on that album and then listen to the version on the Four and More live date from ~1964. Radical change in tempo and interaction with the rhythm section.
