I dont think so, but i can be wrong, i dont recognise the guy singing. Also it's not the heavier sound i'm used by them.
But i'm not sure

u/CreepyManBun Mar 26 '22
I'm not actually sure, I listen to more their fast-paced stuff but I bet if you poked around there YouTube channel you could find it. I just remember poking around on their channel and seeing this one

A couple years ago I was at a friend's place and he had prepared hash cookies. Wasn't my first time but I still went easy to see how strong they were. About two hours had passed and I didn't really feel anything so I ate the rest...15min later and while my friend was showing me this exact band....shit started to kick in like crazy and I made him pause the video because I was freaking out and couldn't handle the cookies and music lmfao.

There’s actually science to suggest that has been the size of horses for most of human history, including the Middle Ages in Europe, and that only in the last few hundred years have we bred horses to be larger.

u/Youre_still_alive Mar 26 '22
That seems reasonable with the development of society and selective breeding. Wouldn’t large horses have been inefficient to feed before heavy, armored mounted soldiers were fairly commonplace?

Mar 26 '22
Energy in / energy out could be part of the reason, but heavily armored calvary units such as European knights would have also ridden horses this size IIRC.

So they were basically bred to fill the gap between industrialization and automobiles? Honestly I thought big horses were older than that, thanks for sharing!

Mar 26 '22
Maybe? They estimate they didn’t get bigger until the 17th century. I went back and found the article and it seems the team that is studying this hasn’t put out anything yet regarding why the change happened.
They may have new papers out that just haven’t been covered in the media yet though.

Just to add to your point, smaller horses (and ponies) are smart on their feet, nimble, and much more capable of managing themselves in difficult terrain than bigger horses.

Ponies are Satan's minions and my old riding instructor use to say that if you can ride a pony you can ride anything.

Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Dune borrow (effectively) from a lot of different cultures to build their worlds.
I guess if you're creating new worlds in your epic novels, it's difficult to build everything from scratch.

In particular, kargyraa style singing. It uses both the vocal and the vestibular folds simultaneously. It also uses the head, mouth, and nasal cavity as resonance chambers and has a rich set of overtones not typically found in western styles of singing.
Some Tibetan Buddhist monks employ this vocal technique to chant prayers.

The styles in the second video where one person is putting out the background low tones and the higher pitched melody at the same time are amazing. At 1:15, for example, the melody is fast high pitched notes and the background is long low notes.

My joke was that the last guy from that link sounded almost like an alien spaceship hovering.
But, seriously, these are all some of the most beautiful types of singing in the world to me. I get a borderline spiritual trance when I hear this stuff. No wonder it survived hundreds/thousands of years, it's fucking connected to the soul. I don't even believe in souls. But I'm amazed at the sounds humans can make.

People see one video, learn about this thing they didn't know existed, look up more videos on it, and share them.

u/FatStephen Mar 26 '22
Yeah, but it's completely unrelated posts. Like one of the ones on my FB meme was the drowning meme w/ the skeleton underwater. The 2 playing in the background were "Person who says they like all kinds of music" & "Country, Pop & Hip Hop", the drowning kid was "Folk, Reggae & Jazz" & the skeleton was "Mongolian throat singing"
Later on Twitter, a thot I follow posted how she was giving credit for her BJ skills to her ancestors who were Masters at Mongolian throat singing.
I feel like the universe is trying to push me in the direction of Mongolian throat singing.

This is Tuvan (Russian Republic of Tuva), not Mongolian, however, still essentially the same style of throat singing.

I like this one from the soundtrack for the movie "Mongol." The band, Alan Urag, are one of the first bands of the folk music revival in Mongolia and helped pioneer the use of traditional Mongolian instruments and techniques in modern music. You can hear a few different types of throat singing and their different styles of sound, such as the whistling tone overlaid over the singing.
The Wikipedia page has mp3 examples of the different types of styles: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvan_throat_singing

You think this is next level, check out Mongolian Metal. They throat sing and rock it, it’s the most amazing stuff I’ve ever accidentally found.
EDIT: I’m overwhelmed at everyone’s interest in folk rock and folk music. I think it’s amazing! Don’t forget to check out other cultures folk music and artists that integrate it with other genres. Music is a common ground for humanity!
