“Pearl Hunting” was done in collaboration with 18 guest musicians from all over the world, who recorded 23 ethnic instruments for it. While some tracks explore familiar combinations of symphonic metal and folk influences, like the Northern and Celtic sounds, others push the boundaries with more experimental and unconventional fusions, incorporating instruments such as the Armenian duduk and Indonesian suling and gamelan.

The estonian metal band Metsatoll plays some sort of instrument that appears to be a post, with a rams head and some strings on it. never seen anything like it. anyone know what it's called??/

I am finishing up a class on Vietnam history and it got me curious if there was a Vietnam metal scene, and from there I found the Saigon documentary about the small local scene but I’m having trouble finding more groups/Spotify profiles for any of these groups (if they even exist) since that’s what I use.

Just as the title says -- we now have link flair. These, as in r/metal, correspond to the genre of music being posted. It's still recommended (though not required) that you add your own information about the country of origin and what traditional elements are involved to the title of your post.

Please remember to flair what you're posting with the correct genre. However, if you're unsure of the genre, do not flair what you're posting. If what you're posting is a crossover genre (ie black/death), then you can either pick the flair that you think is most representative, or you can add that information to the title yourself.

Happy listening!
