I’m a fan of mashing two genres together. It’s recognizable songs in a new format!
Bluegrass covers of Rock songs
Metal covers of classical music
Classical covers of Pop songs
Video game music played by a Big Band
Wild obscure shit!
Frog Leap Studios has some great metal. Covers of other genres
This is the goal over at !coververse@lemmy.world Check it out
The Norfolk Orchestra has some neat covers of Radiohead. Definitely worth listening to.
You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!
They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I’d be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.
Bridge City Sinners are great! I was so disappointed to learn of them just after they’d come through my city on tour.
That they are. I just found them recently. They’re certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I’ve really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.
I discovered them through this Murderfolk playlist on Spotify. That playlist introduced me to the murderfolk genre and a lot of bands.
That kinda describes Ween’s oeuvre.
You might enjoy this then.
Nice! I dig it!
Mariachi el Bronx do covers of pop songs.
The Burgundian School of early Renaissance, (mostly) secular composers.
Yeah! I was going to say Renaissance choral music generally. Which records do you recommend?
L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.
Not sure if it qualifies as lesser known, but Australian hip hop is pretty fantastic. Stuff like Hilltop Hoods, Bliss & Eso, Draupht, Illy, etc. You’ve probably heard a song or two without realizing it.
Occult Rock; it’s the transition somewhere between psychedelic rock and heavy metal.
Relatively unknown nowadays but it you like psych or heavy metal you’ll probably enjoy it.
Lots of powerful, bluesy, female vocals.
