Subway to Sally

小简介 Subway To Sally是德国的大牌民谣金属，中世纪团，于1990年成立于德国勃兰登堡州首府波茨坦，共发行过9张正式专辑。他们的音乐具有很强的民族特色和古典风格，运用了风笛、小提琴等乐器，把悦耳的德国民谣、凯尔特民谣与金属相结合，主唱沙哑低沉的嗓音让音乐很有异教的感觉，总体上风格属于重型的中世纪音乐，与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.
