keyboards in metal

[drockilles]

Maybe not "metal", but Roddy Bottum's use of keys in Faith No More worked great with the music.

Some genres (thrash, death metal, traditional) no way.

Other genres (progressive, power, Rhapsody) would suck without them.

[quote=Jacksons Shred;1099673]This subject can go both ways. I think it's lame when metal bands trying to be really mean and aggressive use keys. Like Bodom. Keys totally kill that band for me because they're trying to be brutal, but yet, they have keys... Their keyboarding player is amazing though.

See I think Bodom is so darn good because they have the keys in there. It just sets the mood for the riffs and makes everything sound heavier with the contrast. To each his own though! That's what makes music so special.

Now where did I put that CoB CD, god damn it, which pigeon hole did I put it in!

That's exactly how I feel about the band Kalmah. Without keyboards it just wouldn't sound right. Especially the song Mindrust.
