Metroid Metal icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 is one of the very few cases where two totally unrelated cool things were successfully combined together to produce something even cooler. That said, a person performing heavy metal renditions of video game songs almost always turns out poorly, and that’s how it should be.

It’s like putting scoops of chocolate ice cream on a pepperoni pizza—maybe it sounds like a good idea at first, but reality will quickly set in after scarfing a bite or two. Some things are just better kept separate from one another, and putting too much good stuff in one place can taint a person’s previous experiences and render future experiences as unpalatable, or even disagreeable.

For example, watching people icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 record themselves playing distortion-laden versions of video game songs and then uploading them to YouTube makes me hate heavy metal, video games, and the Internet all at the same time!

Tom Slayer is one of my favorite vocalists. He doesn’t sing about happy things, like how life is lollipops and rainbows, he sings about real stuff… like vampires and shit. He’s a really down to earth, normal guy, and it means a lot to me that he takes time out of his busy day to make sure I have a good website.

Here is a picture of Tom Slayer icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 . He is totally awesome, if you can’t tell already.

Where You Will Stay, Always

Phantom Bride icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 feat. Jerry Cantrell (track 10 from the Gore LP by Deftones icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Inside of this hole you create, you hide from yourself
You separate every belief that is true
And you spend your life attached to this poison
You don’t feel anything out of the rain

And it’s true that you spend your life trapped in this void where you will stay, always

Can’t get rid of this thought of you rotting in this same cold space
You don’t want to feel anything new
You have decided to spend your life safe from emotion
This way you will never be harmed again or confused

Now you spend your life trapped in this void where you will stay, always
You waste your life relaxed in your void where you will drain all of you

You spend your life trapped in your void where you will stay, always
You waste your life relaxed in your void where you will stay, always
