Ceremony music

I am not a traditional kind of person at all and I don't really want traditional ceremony music. My fiance and I are both metal/deathcore fans and was wondering if it would be a bit too much to use perhaps an intro or an outro (not too heavy obviously, don't want to do a disservice to everyone who comes!).

Thoughts?

    I would search for acoustic covers of your favorite metal songs. There are a lot of acoustic/orchestral recordings of heavier music these days, and while it's obviously not the same style of music you love, it would at least incorporate it in a way that more of your guests would appreciate a little more. :)

    I think you should do whatever you like... If you think it's appropriate for your wedding then go for it.  You know your guests best.  Your wedding should be a reflection of you and your FI, and doesn't have to be cookie-cutter.

    For us that meant using a song from Moulin Rouge, some traditional oldies, and classical Bach music.  For you it may be something different.

    I might keep the really upbeat/rock stuff for the recessional since it is more of a "party"/upbeat atmosphere at that point, typically the procesional is rather serene/suspenseful/contemplative.

    Oh boy I can't stand Metallica lol but I get where you are going with it. There would be no lyrics because the bands we listen to are a bit profane haha and I doubt I could find any orchestral recordings because it's not like 80s hair metal or Ozzy/Pink Floyd/Black Sabbath we listen to. But that is a good idea, I've heard some bands do acoustic covers of their own songs so I'll have to do some digging.

    What do you listen to? My FI and I listen to a lot of different music, including metal and have seen some impressive stuff on youtube- string, guitar, piano covers. If you have a group or song in mind, you might be able to find an arrangement that works for you and your guests.

    Right now I'm thinking "Pouring Reign" by As Blood Runs Black and/or "Devoid" by Whitechapel. Maybe something off of Chelsea Grin's first CD. They have a couple instrumentals too!
