@Jesse

Thanks for the update man! I really liked that record with the tree on the cover! Some of the songs had some really heavy parts.

You spelled Agalloch wrong in the tags, dickface.

@Fritz!

I know exactly what you mean with Days of the New man. They had some genuinely heavy acoustic rock going on. I’ve always thought a down-tuned acoustic could be one of the heaviest sounding instruments if you play it right. A big handicap is the lack of palm mutes which usually add a lot to the thunderous feel of metal. But there’s just something about hearing someone be very aggressive on the acoustic that just screams metal to me.

As far as what ever happened to them.. Tantric is what happened to them. They were pretty much Days of the New sans douchebag/prodigy Travis Meeks. Funny thing though, now the only original member of Tantric is the only guy that was never in Days of the New.

Not that Musk Ox is not good, but I would not classify this band as “metal.” Musk Ox is not “heavy” nor do they use electric guitars. Agalloch and Daylight Dies both use electric guitars as well as acoustic, and both sound “heavy” to a certain extent.

Well, there is one more (although a bit demo-sounding) acoustic metal project from Croatia

Thanks so much Vince, I’m glad you like the music and I’m so happy that you addressed the issue of “Is this metal?” You explained it very well. It’s like when you hear a really bad metal band, I’m sure you’d be obliged to say “This isn’t really metal” at which point someone says “But it has distorted guitars?” and you respond “Yeah but…”

Not that it sounds anything like this stuff, but it made me think of “Days of The New”. Kind of grungish, if i remember correctly they had some heavy acoustic riffage going on? What ever happend to them?

metal or not? hard to say, harder to care.

but even as a fan of ambientish instrumental music, i can’t really get into these guys. i like my instrumentals less acoustic and more post-rock. hello, pelican! hello, this will destroy you!

I fuckin’ dig acoustic metal…in fact I spend alot of my time trying to find an actual bone-fide way to make the acoustic mean when possible, firm believer that it can be done. thanks for the fix, and here’s a shameless plug to some of my attempts at acoustic ambient metal… http://www.myspace.com/whiskeyrambleproject
