I used to always make fun of accordions when I was a kid. Then I heard Finntroll's masterpiece Midnattens Widunder around 2000ish.

I cant play any instruments at all. Took piano lessens for like 3 or 4 years as a kid, never got past very very basic stuff.

My brother is the opposite. He had like 1 or 2 lessons on guitar when he was 5 and now he plays every instrument.

Hope you have fun with it and kick some ass!
I saw Finntroll, Korpiklaani, and Ensiferum in a fairly small venue (maybe a few hundred people?), that was ALSO an excellent show. Ensiferum had a bucket at their table labeled "vodka fund", I had to throw a few bucks in there. It's taken me a while, but I'm kind of on your brother's path, right now I can play guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, bouzouki, and this year I've started piano and accordion (and I sing). Still want to add hurdy-gurdy in there, maybe in the next year or two.

There's a metal sub for everybody I guess.

I wouldn't put the above in some top metalcore tier. Just thought it was catchy enough especially with the French connection.

It's alright, I thought some of it came across a bit synthetic, and yeah, turns out it's a solo project, so that makes sense.
