The Native Howl - Thunderhead (THRASH METAL GOES BLUEGRASS) 

If Primus, Anthrax, and the state of Kentucky had a baby, this would be its cousin.

I'm a metalhead that was raised on Country & Bluegrass. One day, while bopping around YT exploring the many shades of Metal, wondered, "is Bluegrass Metal a thing?". Typed it into the Search, & wound up here. Tell ya, I'm in hog heaven! 😊

This is what I would blast if I was makin' moonshine in the mountains and shit.

Bro... This had solos, there was head banging, there was instrument smashing, guns, grim reaper, a banjo. This is my favorite thing ever

This, is the country sound Johnny Cash would’ve been proud of

These boys are CRIMINALLY underrated!!

I want to express my gratitude to the RU-vid algorithm for helping me discover this kick-ass band!! 😮 Their song "Mercy" with Lzzy Hale is just transformative...it sends me into ecstasies

Stylistically, it's very bluegrass AND very thrash. Badass. Harmonies are gold. Banjo and Bass player kill it.

this is the most american thing I've ever witnessed.

Echo of motorhead. Lemmy would have liked this

d-do i square dance or circle pit? Edit: it’s been 4 years since this comment and the Native Howl just liked it SMDH 😂😂😂

Just watched them in concert, they are even better live.

Just found a new style of "country" that doesn't make me wanna puke. I thoroughly enjoyed this very much. Fuckin' loved it.

This is that new shit we all have been needing!

I play guitar and have for 40 years and i didn't think anyone could write a new style of music but these guys did what I thought impossible just goes to show you nothing is impossible

I only just recently (like ten minutes ago) discovered your music and I am really, really digging it. Why no one has ever really thought to blend bluegrass with thrash metal in such a major way is crazy. Because the marriage of the two is obvious. I love this.

this is one of the most kick ass things I've ever seen. coming from some who likes rap, techno, country, all the way up to death metal and grindcore, this is awesome. showed it to my friend who hates a lot of music, super picky, but likes folk and bluegrass and he said he was surprised at how good this is.

I'm enthralled by this.

Riding my Harley to this song made my experience 5000% better.

....I think this is the most metal thing I have ever heard and I am in absolute love.

Just saw them on New Year's Eve and they opened this song with the intro from Metallica's "Battery". These guys are so fucking awesome. Super nice dudes too. Just all around great artists. 2017 is going to be huge for them.

this is a song i would blast everywhere and anytime i grew up with country music but i love metal and rock. PERFECT combination! LOVE IT!!!!!!

Guys at work nearly shut when they heard this. One of the best songs I've heard in quite sometime

This song makes me crank it all the way up to max. Gotta let the neighbors hear it to.

I have just found my new favorite band of soon to be 2017. I'd love to see these guys live!

I just saw you guys on No Cover. And I will say I am highly impressed. It's fun, thrashy and you guys are talented. Love it.

Thrash Metal + Bluegrass = Dukes of Hazzard vibe music

Man, this song just does not get old. I've listened to it like a hundred times. This guy needs a strings sponsorship, if they still do that.

blue thrash, exactly what I've been needing.

When you're born in California (birth place of Thrash), raised in Tennessee, and you want to embrace your current surroundings, but you don't wanna forget your roots either.

Was Great to see you boys the night with Jackyl in Joliet. Thanks for the band signing my boys hoodie! He was So Stoked✌❤

Just found this masterpiece, its been about an hour and yet i still cant get enough!!

This is my favorite metal song.

the guitarist aggressively strumming in the direction of the grim reaper is the best thing i've ever seen holy sHIT

I love this band… I love this song… I love this video… I wish this video would never end, or at least was two hours long…

This is the type of music I would dream of as a teenager.

I grew up and still live in the country and I am a massive metal head. This ties my life up into one big thing and I love it! This is awesome!

I love this Michigan band!

I love Bluegrass. I love Heavy Metal. Now I know what you get if you breed the two together. I love it!!!

Every time I hear this song I'm always imagining a high speed horse chase across the plains of Texas from the old West

This song will never ever get old. I have had to replace numerous speakers cuz of this banger 🤘😎🤘

in Love with Everything About Native Howl!!

EVERYTHING about this is just bliss man

Shoutout to TheChartGuys who brought me here, amazing music.

I like the innovation in sound behind this song. there's a reason this song stands out over your other songs. embrace the sound you have created and headline it before the industry gets its hands on it and extorts it like they have done with so many genres over the years.

This is the best thing I've ever heard! My new anthem.

4:27- Onward. I love how heavy that sounds lol!! Bangin' my head to bluegrass.. that's a new one to tell the folks.

The No Cover show (filmed at The Troubadour club in LA) brought me here! 👏🏼👏🏼📺

Man, this is exactly what was missing from my life....

This is simply amazing! The riffs and licks on both the guitar and the banjo are incredible... and that bass was stand out as well. Throw in some excellent drumming and and I have a new amazing band to listen to non stop!

Praise the Lord!

I was expecting a bunch of horsemen chasing a dude back in cowboy times for this video. But... this song is wicked. I usually listen to this song on my long bike rides.

I will never get sick of this song! Amazing 😍 Even better live 🙌🏼

I like the one part, where the guys plays the instrument

Love thrash, love bluegrass. Love this.

This is why a Tennesseean like me loves northern Michigan.

I've always said thrash/speed metal and Bluegrass had a lot of similarities. Especially in their intensity and speed, and the fact that they blend so well, proves me right. Damn, that was awesome! Though, now I'm confused as to whether I should add you guys to my Bluegrass or metal playlist. 😂😂😂

I'm so impressed with this song, I've listened to it alot. \m/

This song IS the theme song of MICHIGAN!!! So friggin awesome! Still in awe that I had the chance to chat with Alex on my podcast!! 👊😎 Keep rocking guys!!

The almighty native howl. Pure domination. Love yall guys

So, apparently I am the lead singers identical twin... my buddy showed me this video for that exact reason, glad he did. You guys are epic!

Just saw you guys on No Cover. As soon as your song was over I looked you guys up and so glad you have a RU-vid channel! I didn't even know a show like that existed. My dad had a HUGE record collection because he always wanted to be a DJ. So, I've listened to and have appreciation for so many styles of music. I have always liked the hard, heavy, intense styles. As you guys said, l always noticed the intensity in metal and folk. You have an awesome blend going there! I have lived in Michigan all my life, started in Detroit area, now in Northern Michigan, so it's awesome to see Michigan getting some love and attention. Rock on guys! I'm most definitely a fan!

Gives me goosebumps every time.

Best workout music ever

You guys are incredible! I love metal and bluegrass and you've married the two so we'll, this song has quenched my musical thirst, thanks so much guys

Brilliant playing guitar banjo style. Impressed !

I'm seriously freaking out right now. This is so awesome I can't even put words to it.

under 50K club. This song is gonna blow up! You heard it here first.

Wasn't sure what to think at first but this is kick ass! Grew up on bluegrass but never really cared for it, this is something I can listen to!

I’m here because Tyler Childers’ song mentions “Thrash Grass band” and I found these guys! I wish I found out sooner!

this song makes me happy

OMG!! You fellas are freaking incredible!! Most original sound I've heard in decades!! Consider me a fan!!

This is fucking EPIC!!! I DJ in country bars and I hate slow ass country, but this shit just made it awesome. You guys will be played every friday night!!!!!!

when I'm not shredding Slayer, I listen to music like this.

I was listening to folk metal and decided to type in Bluegrass/Metal and this was the first thumbnail I clicked.

This is now my new Favourite thing!

how have I not heard these dudes before. kick ass

MORE!! I need more of this in my life.

Who are three 830 losers who down voted this awesome song?

The moment I saw this my mind was blown! I have been constantly listening to this song since I found it 2 days ago!

Yeah... I can get into this. 👍

New favorite genre of music

Doesn't matter how many times I hear this... U GUYSzzzzz R BAD ASS AS HELL!!!!

Well...if any genre was gonna do something like this. It’d be metal. AND IT WORKS

Damn!

Why isn't this over 1 Million Views already?

Pantera goes country I love it!

This is an amazingly unique genre mash that I would never expect to work, but wow, does it work

Alternate Title - Metal music on grandpa's guitars.

OMG OMG OMG....the best band in well... FOREVER!!

Saw the Mercy vid with Lizzy...thought that was badass. Then came to this video and got my face melted off! May these guys get all that they deserve!

This is so many kinds of awesome and so many levels. Love the blending of the genres.

Incredible

Louder than life brought me here! You guys rocked!

I love it...and it's about 100 times more country than the crap that gets played on country radio nowadays.

I'm a hip hop head with some metal and bluegrass roots, and I haven't been in either of those scenes in a long time, but let me tell you, this was beautiful to behold. Great job, TNH!

When I saw this on Facebook I thought this was a joke. But seeing this now I am so happy it wasn't. Like this is some creative shit man, and it works!

I don't know how I got here but I love it.

Doing my due diligence and brushing up on the brushfire that is Native Howl. See you in Seattle with the mighty Airbourne! Laments for my liver.

That's brilliant
