   music with chanting?
  I realized it's been several months since I bought any new CDs, so I thought I'd ask for recommendations.  And one of the kinds of music I've always liked but never owned much of is the kind that blends chanting (or reciting a nursery rhyme or poem) with some kind of rock - the band Enigma is a good example of this.  Or, does anyone remember that radio commercial where fake Gregorian monks were advertising sprite? [grin]  I prefer that the chanting be in English, although it's tolerable in other languages.  Another related kind of music is two-vocalist songs where one is speaking and the other singing, like Linking Park's _In the End_ and The Gathering's _A Life All Mine_.  So, can anyone recommend anything like this?   
  Some of those Power Metal groups my friend was into did some of that Gregorian style stuff over the top of metal music. 'Demons & Wizards' I think was the name of a collaboration group that did some of this stuff in their music (not a great deal, but there was some).Isn't there also some group around at the moment that sings pop songs in Gregorian style (probably the same guys that were in that commercial you mentioned)? I remember seeing an ad on tv for their album, but I can't remember their name.   ;  There's Sabbatum, a Black Sabbath cover band. It doesn't have actual rock music in it, though.   ;  The Band Era is exactly what you're looking for. They did an Optus commercial over here in Australia (teleco), so one particular track is famous, but the rest are pretty damn tasty too. Not as heavy as Enigma though.   ;  You should check out www.gregorian.de , they infact have covered some metal/pop songs as monks would be performing them. You can get the same atmosphere on a few songs by this amazing band called Letum ,or even few selected by raison de etre but its more on ambient lines.Cheers!   ;  Gregorian music is quite good. i have their versions of Brothers in Arms, Engel, Losing My Religon, Nothing Else Matters, Tears in Heaven, and When A Man Loves a Woman, and they're really well done   ;Quote:Original post by NokturnalYou should check out www.gregorian.deSeconded.;  There is a song called "In the army now" by "Laibach". If you like it you may like some of their other stuff, though i'm not sure.;  Queens of The Stone Age is all about the chanting.Little Sister from their Lullabies to Paralyze is a good example.
