Slaughter of the Bluegrass, the band who plays unplugged versions of death metal songs using traditional bluegrass instruments and arrangement ideas and try to keep the essence of each song they cover, has released a cover of Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God."

You can listen to it below or download the MP3 for free here.

You can still download their previous two covers of At The Gates' "Blinded By Fear" and Dark Tranquility's "Punish My Heaven" for free as well.

There is something fundamentally wrong about singing about Thor in a Bluegrass song, but I thought it was awesome.

ya man, i just got in from climbing the backyard mountain, and could just not get that peaceful jolly sh!t outta my head :)

funny thing is though, this kind of music is actually a hell of a lot more similar to the tunes the old norse actually played than any burly viking metal ever will be

good find brother, you always provide me with some quality laughs with this column! \m/
