Subway to Sally

小簡(jiǎn)介
Subway To Sally是德國(guó)的大牌民謠金屬，中世紀(jì)團(tuán)，于1990年成立于德國(guó)勃蘭登堡州首府波茨坦，共發(fā)行過(guò)9張正式專輯。他們的音樂(lè)具有很強(qiáng)的民族特色和古典風(fēng)格，運(yùn)用了風(fēng)笛、小提琴等樂(lè)器，把悅耳的德國(guó)民謠、凱爾特民謠與金屬相結(jié)合，主唱沙啞低沉的嗓音讓音樂(lè)很有異教的感覺，總體上風(fēng)格屬于重型的中世紀(jì)音樂(lè)，與In Extremo有些象，非常旋律化。
Subway to Sally is a true musical hybrid. Based on a heavy metal foundation, Subway to Sally is far from your average metal headbangers as they combine progressive and folk anthems with early music and liturgical references. They contribute equal parts acoustic and electric from the guitar trio of Ingo Hampf, Bodenski, and Simon. Violinist Frau Schmidt can lay down a classic Robbie Steinhardt-like roll with as much conviction as with the gentler, more traditionally based passages. Perhaps the most peculiar element of this band lies with lead vocalist Eric Fish, who brings to mind two of the more stigmatized singers in rock & roll, Lee Jackson and Roger Chapman. Despite hints of Chapman's infamous vibrato and Jackson's overall thickness, Fish provides a very listenable and complimentary singing style. While a gradual shift away from traditional songs was noticeable from album to album, it wasn't until 1999's Hochzeit that their more aggressive side was fully revealed but not at the expense of their formative influences. The group released a live recording (Schrei!) in 2000 and the all-new Herzblut the following year. 2003's Engelskrieger found the collective leaning heavier on their metal haunches. Nord Nord Ost arrived in 2005, followed by the CD/DVD Nackt in 2006.
