Violins in Metal.

Violins are cool. Symphonic Black Metal and Folk Metal would be nothing without 'em.

 

One could go further - why not sound metal using violins alone? John Zorn (eclectic jazzman, but never ye know him) certainly did that, albeit with a different instrument (saxophone, instance).

Excuse my ignorance there, i'm somewhat close minded on certain subjects as you might already know.

Well, look this one up: Six Litanies for Heliogabalus, by John Zorn, assisted by the so-called Moonchild trio (among them a certain Mike Patton). Nothing but bloodcurdling shrieks by Patton (on one of the tracks - Litany IV), accompanied (on the rest) by a potpourri of saxophone-bass-drums-backup voices.
