Metal is often about brutality – pain, anguish, torture, disgusting diseases that turn the human body into something unrecognizable.
Well, there may have been no time in history more suited for the topics of metal than the Medieval period – the Black Plague wiped out more than a third of Europe’s population, the Inquisition was torturing and killing anyone they felt like, and basically everything sucked. It was a bad time to be a human being – but a great time to visit to make a metal song with some peasant bards.
So that’s what I did! I took my trusty ol’ Retcon3000 time machine and risked life and limb (am I vaccinated for the bubonic plague? I have no idea) to bring metal to the miserable masses.
And as an added bonus, I brought the wildly cool Osmose keyboard by Expressive E to blow these peasants’s minds with MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).
