This is probably going to sound odd, but here goes....
I'm a metalhead, and I've grown to really love chanting in my metal. For example, there's a metal band called Epta Astera that uses Gregorian Chant in their music*. I really enjoy it.
So I'm wondering if any of you could recommend an authentic Gregorian Chant album. From some very preliminary research, I've unearthed a couple promising possibilities:
The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz
The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos
Anybody familiar with these, or have other recommendations?
*My understanding is that Gregorian Chant must be, by definition, without accompaniment, so it would not technically qualify. Still, I think the style is very similar. If you're interested, the band is easy to find on Google and they offer their music for free download from their website.
