You Gotta Hear Metallica’s “One” Done Medieval Style
Grab a leg of lamb and lay your Viking sword on a big wooden table because I have something you need to see today. Do you like Metallica? Yes? Think their song "One" is pretty great? Like to participate in medieval reenactments? If that's your deal, this is a very good day for you.
Join me on a trip to Belarus where you'll find the band Stary Olsa. Their Wikipedia page tells their story.
- Stary Olsa (Belarusian: Стары Ольса) is a Belarusian medieval folk band. Stary Olsa plays medieval Belarusian music of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
- Stary Olsa is one of the few Belarusian bands enjoying popularity outside Belarus.[1] The band has received numerous positive critical reviews.[2]
- The band was founded in 1999 by Źmicier Sasnoŭski. The name Stary Olsa comes from a stream in east Belarus.
If you're having a BBQ in Belarus and need a band, Stary Olsa is available from what I hear. And, kudos to them on doing a pretty great job with this Metallica cover. Uncle Alexei would be proud.
