Deathcore Metal Assault on Octave Baritone Violin - insane VIOLAtion of your senses

March 2, 2010 at 4:21 PM

Putting the "VIOLA" back into pure insane aural "VIOLAtion" of your senses!!! hahaha!!! Death Metal played on Yamaha SV-150 Silent Violin. Tuned to B Flat, F, C and G - same as the thickest 4 strings on a 7 string Mark Woods Viper violin.

Power chords are very easier to play on violin or viola or cello compared to a guitar because the strings are already tuned in fifths. Distortion effects used - Line 6 Pod X3 Live.

Coda Diamond GX Cello Bow was used as a normal violin bow simply does not have enough hair width to pull the extremely thick Super Sensitive Octave Baritone strings. They sound like a cello when played clean. Enjoy!!! Turn your volume up to 11!!!

Thanks for your comment. That was a good one. hahaha. (-:

Well, just to explain... whatever I "played" in this little technical demonstration was just usually the rhythm part of a metal tune. The actual "melody" would be provided by a dude or gal screaming in a gruff cookie monster voice. hahaha. LOL

Oh yes, adding insane heavy frantic drums would also help to make the whole thing "more metal".

The whole thing was just a little experiment to find fun things to do with a baritone electric violin tuned very low to B flat, F, C and G. hahaha. LOL

Furthermore, I think teenagers who wish to join their friends in rock bands can consider doing so with their electric violins instead of switching to guitars. haha (-:

All they need to do is to put low sounding Super Sensitive octave baritone strings on a 4 string solid body electric violin.

I have recently realized that distortion pedals (that are usually made for electric guitars) are also very suitable for baritone violin strings and cello strings.

Now I am so in love with all things baritone that I have recently purchased a baritone guitar. haha. LOL (-:
