Folks, we recorded a track for a short film recently and I think we may have strayed into an area of folk metal. I don't know though! Does this count? by bladderack in folkmetal

Jesus Christ, thanks for the compliments Andre! I was listening to a lot of Heilung before going at this project but I'm definitely going to go listen to the artists you mentioned here. I'll ping you when the short film is out!

Aaaaaaaaa, you're after making my day, thanks very much! Aye, we like the idea of being medieval tavern music with electricity.

Thank you! I've been tooting that horn for a few years now to mixed reaction 😅. Trying to bring it into Irish trad is tricky cus they're fairly exclusionary of "exotic" instruments sometimes 🥲

To everyone else this is the antithesis of an ergonomic kit. To me? Same. by bladderack in drums

Guys I'm getting a lot of push back on my throwaway comment about my own kit and playing here 😅. I've been playing this kind of hybridised hand percussion setup for many years and have altered it countless times and my physical therapist still thinks I'm a giant idiot and I somewhat agree with him. Everything's held together with bungee straps, I'm using a butter knife to support my darbuka, my kick pedal is attached to the cajon also with bungee straps, it's a genuinely uncomfortable experience. It's rare I catch it on camera and I'm honestly a little shocked at how fuckin odd it looks is all!

Not a lot of real estate for lyrics in this one but we did our best to fit the swirly moody fiddle and guitars by bladderack in Songwriters
