With Harptallica coming to town this weekend, we started thinking how cool it would be if this trend caught on. Here are some other orchestral thrash metal tributes we hope to see in the very near future.

Tubadeth - All-tuba ensemble plays Megadeth hits like "Wake Up Dead" and "Skull Beneath The Skin."

French Hornthrax - Anthrax classics like "Efilnikufesin" and "Caught in a Mosh" reworked for French horn.

Flutesam and Jetsam - A flute tribute to Valley thrashers Flotsam and Jetsam is long overdue.

Trumpetstament - Testament hits like "Over the Wall" and "Into the Pit" played by master trumpeters.

Violinihilator - Okay, so maybe Annihilator wasn't that big of a thrash band, but we just like how this rolls off the tongue.

Cellossessed - Who wouldn't want to hear "Burning in Hell" or "March to Die" played on the cello?

Piccoloverkill - You really haven't heard "Skullcrusher" until you've heard it performed on the piccolo.

Clarineltic Frost - Celtic Frost is such a weird band, we're not sure they haven't already used a clarinet in a song or two.

Bassoonultura - No instrument captures the savage grace of Sepultura's "Bestial Devastation" quite like the bassoon.

Violayer - Okay, so this one's kinda forced, but we had to fit Slayer in here somewhere, so why not "Hell Awaits" on viola?
