Metal

I’m not super into metal, but these are some things that you ought to see.

Austrian Death Machine
The other day I asked Antigen, “Who is from Austria and is a death machine? You have two choices.”


The singer of “As I Lay Dying” made this band and album as a tribute to you-know-who. It’s, at the very least, amusing. Songs like “Get Back To The Choppa” and “I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots and Your Motorcycle” revive some great memories, but “I Am A Cybernetic Organism, Living Tissue Over (Metal) Endoskeleton” is awesome:



However, if you watched some of those videos and noticed that the singer (vocalist, whatever) looks to much like a poon…then this next band is more your style.

Amon Amarth
My buddy Al introduced me to both of these bands, but Amon Amarth left a lasting impression. This band is full of giant Swedish vikings with crazy-long hair and out-of-control beards. They look like they just sacked a village, raped all the women, cooked half the livestock, and torched the rest. It’s called Viking Metal. Deal with it.



I think a lot of you guys will be able to use these bands in your training if you aren’t already. You’re welcome.
