Top 10 Metal Songs that Include Rare / Atypical Combinations with Other Music Genres
Metal and flamenco is rare. Metal and jazz is also relatively rare.But mixing metal with classical music, punk, folk and rap is NOT rare so these combinations shouldn't be on this list.
The entire song (instrumental) is a beautiful mix of flamenco and metal.
What a great idea!
Metal and jazz are masterfully mixed, without losing the metal feel and tempo.
I am not sure the non-metal part is OK in this song but the song is very popular and I just had to include it.
A pretty aggressive speed metal song that opens with a waltz by Johann Strauss II - a barrel organ version of his 'The Blue Danube'.
While classical music in general isn't a rare combination with metal, waltz in particular is.
A prog/technical death metal song that includes 30 seconds of jazz fusion music.
Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia) sings jazz in the middle of this metal song and he sounds amazing! (3:25-4:25).
A 2012 original Xmas metal song but music in the slow part from 6:00-8:25 isn't metal for sure. It's a pretty long section, 2:30 minutes long. I am not gonna tell you what it is because I am bad and wanna make you hear it.
There's a flamenco style acoustic intro to a pretty heavy song but it works perfectly because this music contrast is a cool transition.
This sounds perfect to me (flamenco metal).
A Progressive Metal song, mainly full of heavy guitar riffs and death growls, contains a blue grass section. What?
Thank you very much for this entry cjWriter1997 - now we also have blue grass in the house. Hey, my list just needed some blue grass!
This is one of their heaviest songs and I like it but... is this a ska-reggae-troll-metal song?
If somebody got interested in this band, I made a list about them with details - Top 10 Flametal Songs.
Metallica ska cover - it's a metal song originally but this ska "treatment" is so funny. I like this cover by the way, always makes me smile.
Sounds very country-like to me.
Comes with a sax part included in an extreme metal song so imagine...
I would call it progressive flamenco metal.
It opens with a traditional folk song before driving into the speed metal anthem we know it as.
