I found METAL! ( - or Dethklok first appearance)

Harry and I went to a show last night, and it was pretty rocking (except for the fact that I hadn't slept "much" the night before and my body was throwing a hissy fit).

During the show there was some dude reading Already Dead and selling cds. And it was among these CDs that I found it. The name is Nile. Song No. 6 is called

" Chapter Of Obeisance Before Giving Breath To The Inert One In The Presence Of The Crescent Shaped Horns".

(I felt the title deserved its own paragraph).

Now, I am not a huge fan of metal lyrics. They sound like 7th graders poetry and I am pretty sure most of them were composed by rhyming the last words of the verses AND then coming up with the verses themselves.

(quick! get the rhyming dictionary! what rhymes with "death"?)

... but this post is not about their lyrics; it's about their actual music.
I am not an expert in music, and especially, I am not an expert in metal... but I must say that I have never ever ever heard any metal band that produced music as generic as this one. Correction: never with the exception of Dethklok. In fact, I am pretty sure I have heard parts of Nile's songs in Metalocalypse. This band was metal in its most generic, collective, cliche form. I mean. Seriously. This band was just so... metal.

The Economist asks... I answer.

Well... we know they can fucking foot dance like pros.
