So.....When I first heard this, I thought it was the audible version of a train wreck. Terrible, but I couldn't turn away. Instantly I thought about coming here, and posting it in the worst band thread. But for reasons later revieled, it would be impossible to do that. Unfortionatly, I can't reveal these videos in order without you seeing the title of at least the one after, so all I ask is that you try not to spoil it for yourself, sit back and enjoy the ride into WTF-land.
First stop: A cover of Metallica's Battery.
Yes. Welcome to The Twilight Zone. Oh, and Twenty bucks says that you watched the entire thing. It just sucks you in, and doesn't let go. Resistance is futile. What can possibly be next you ask? Oh, our journey has just begun! All aboard the raep train! Next stop: Your childhood!
Cover of Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden:
Okay, by now, I'm sure your soul is dead. (Or depending on how frequently you visit 4chan, this could have happened long ago.) So, I'm sure you wouldn't mind a little Blind Guardian? Huh? Perhaps a little tune called The Bard's Song....In The Forest, no less! Oh yeah. They go there.
Okay. By now you're either in a blind (heh) fury.,,,Or, you think that if you didn't know of the original, that might not have been that bad. In fact, could it have been....Good? (Don't kid yourself. All the talent came from Hansi.) Speaking of Hansi, I wonder what he thinks of this?
Well, what do you know? We just happen to have a little video right here!

I like the idea of all the different vocals. Sometimes the guitar imitation is tacky however. If they added a guitar, it would make them really badass, but that would take away their card of interest.

its a hard thing to do but surely...not for metal. The iron maiden thing was irritating!! I have to admit that the female vocalist has a great voice and i kiiinda liked The bard's song. The mixing voices gave a great effect especially at the refrain

Like I said before, when I found them, I just couldn't stop listening....Although, I was laughing for most of that time, too. They can obviously pull it off (To some degree.) but the question is, should they? I've posted here that I've always liked finding odd styles in metal, and this is certainly odd. I'll give them that.

They are awesome... I discover them on a Nergal131 video... First time... I don't notice guitar and bass was missing... I thought they were doing "Digi Dun" and "Raktakkan" for fun...

concept was dumb although they wouldnt sound out of place fronting a power metal band and would actually be enjoyable but this opera cocept of metal songs is just too fucking gay and i cant get into it also 4 chan is a hilarious site yea the people might be Effed up but the stuff on it is hialrious nonetheless
