Genre: Theatrical folk metal / devilish dark cabaret Instruments: Screeching fiddles, galloping tom drums, upright bass, accordion (optional), chains and demonic laugh FX Vocals: Expressive, theatrical male lead vocals with attitude – bold, playful, and unholy, Chorus must be catchy and chantable, like a tavern song from hell, Add layered backing vocals (devils shouting, laughing, chanting), Rhythm & Tempo: Fast-paced 6/8 or 3/4 – a twisted, high-energy demonic waltz, Mood: Wicked, wild, and infernal – a fiery dance led by demons and a cursed fiddler, Think of a devil’s ball where everyone laughs, drinks lava, and dances their souls away, Lyrical theme: A human who signed a pact with the devil is now forced to play music every night while demons stomp, spin, and burn, It’s a grotesque celebration of eternal damnation, References: Like “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” meets “Cirque du Diable” with folk metal power and dark carnival flair
