Metallica’s ‘One’ Medieval Time’s Style

There are lots of Metallica covers out there. But have you ever heard a Metallica song go all medieval on everyone's asses?

Well. Stary Olsa, a band from Minsk, Belarus, is a neo-medieval folk band who recently covered Metallica's "One" on a show called “Legends Live”.

According to staryolsa.com, the band's goal is to restore the sounds of forgotten instruments. They use maximally exact (in appearance, technology and materials) copies of age-old Belarusan instruments such as Belarusan bagpipe, lyre, husli (psaltery), svirel (reed pipe), jew's-harp, ocarina, Belarusan trumpet, birch bark trumpet, hudok (Belarusan rebec) and drums.

The band's repertoire includes Belarusan folk balladry and martial songs, Belarusan national dances, works of Belarusan Renaissance composers... as well as European popular melodies of the Middle Ages and Renascence.

And, sometimes: Metallica.
