Outside our usual, "comfort zone" - an acoustic track. Feedback?

Well, my band is very much a metal band, but as fans of old melancholic Irish folk, we decided to include a fully acoustic folk number on our latest album. The majority of the feedback we have received has been from people who like metal who have got the album, so I wanted to get some from the wider world. On this track, the bass is very much a supporting instrument which comes in later in the track, its very vocal based, starting off fully acapella, so I placed more focus on my vocal harmonies than showing off bass chops.

That's the track, I'm interested in hearing how its perceived by those who might have more experience with softer music, though feedback from everyone is very welcome.

Don't pull your punches! I'm a big boy.

I gave it a listen just out of curiosity, being Irish. Not a huge fan of the lead vocal but I like the tone once the guitar and bass kick in...reminds me a small bit of Tenacious D to be honest!

Tenacious D? That's definitely the first time we've heard that comparison! I'm intrigued. What made you think of them? Thanks mate.
