For more attentive listening I would highly recommend Moonsorrow.  Good mix of black metal, folk/viking metal, with a dash of progressive metal.  They're dropping a new album in Feb 11. 

Hey, not bad!

I realy dig the blackmetal style vocals, as opposed to deathmetal style. I hate that dog-barking shit.

And this Moonsorrow song I'm currently listening to (Kylan Paassa) has a fucking juice harp in it. A FUCKING JUICE HARP!! YES!!

I'm amused that you don't like harsh, shouted vocals.

Oh, I don't mind harsh vocals, just not ones that sound like a pack of starved rotweilers.

They use the juice harp quite a bit actually.  It was a little weird at first.  They do a pretty good cover of For Whom the Bell Tolls.  And it's about the only song they sing in English.  I think one of their best tunes is Pimea off the Verisakeet album.  

Also, a little trivia, the guy that writes most of their music, Henri Sorvali, also is the main composer and keyboardist for Finntroll.

Plus, Moonsorrow is really good. Thnx Rev.

NP.  When I'm not spreading punnery I like to spread the Metal.

Juice-harp + Blackmetal = TOTAL WIN!

An aside, have you ever tried to play a juice-harp? It's the oddest sensation. You have to vibrate your own head cavity to get it to work, and you need strong teeth. Such a wierd instrument...

Yeah, I have one at home.  But I much prefer Nose flute.

I hate to break this to you, but it's not "juice harp", no matter what you might find on wikipedia.

It really is "Jew's Harp".  Deal with it.

Fo' reel? I had been calling it that for years until someone "corrected" me. Word origin?

The Oxford English Dictionary calls theories that the name is a corruption of "jaws" or "jeu" "baseless and inept" and goes on to say, "More or less satisfactory reasons may be conjectured: e.g. that the instrument was actually made, sold, or sent to England by Jews, or supposed to be so; or that it was attributed to them, as a good commercial name, suggesting the trumps and harps mentioned in the Bible."


So, literally: "The harp that Jews play."


Ah, musical racism.  But the name doesn't affect the sound it makes.

Maybe it's a PC movement but I've also heard it referred to by the more mundane and uncreative names, mouth harp and jaw harp.  Or as I like to call it, "That twangy thing."

We call it "Pirun Basso". Devil's Bass or Devil's Harp.
