There’s a lot of bluegrass metal around these days. Perhaps that’s not so strange; bluegrass has been called “acoustic shred,” and sometimes that definition fits. Here are a couple of examples, the one above from Finland and the other possibly from somewhere ‘way down south.

That Finnish band is awesome! (But I have a sneaking suspicion that in the original song the enemy was Yankees, not Russians…)
I’ve long been of the opinion that the most important instrument in a bluegrass band is the mandolin, and their mandolin player is outstanding.
I agree with Steven regarding the mandolin. The coordination between the mandolin and the banjo is outstanding as well.
The banjo sounds different, like it might have different tuning perhaps? The pick style seems a bit different as well. Not so much claw hammer as traditional guitar.
My friend dubbed them a bluegrass sound with a Village People look, but he’s really sick right now, so…
I wonder if this is what hillbillies look like through a Finnish lens?
