Heavy Metal Sunday is washing its hands thoroughly.

[gridlore]

Today, a metal-horn salute to the H1N1 virus. And an important health tip! We're being told to wash our hands for 20 seconds for maximum effectiveness in killing the virus. Suggestions have been made to time it by singing the "ABC" song. I suggest singing the chorus of The Four Horsemen. Really, it times out well and is frankly more fun.

But onward! Music for the Pandemic! Cannibal Corpse is a New York based death metal band that have been around for just over 20 years. Their music is extremely controversial, and based heavily on horror films and fiction. Their lyrics and graphic album covers have gotten them banned in Australia and Germany, and no less a luminary than Bob Dole accused the band of undermining the national character of the United States.

You can't buy publicity like that.

So, as we all hunker down with our hand sanitizers and Theraflu, please enjoy Cannibal Corpse performing Evisceration Plague

Random Heavy Metal Sunday note. My cousin was the original guitarist (and songwriter) for the death metal band The Exhumed.
Thank you, and good night.

Matt Bachand? Alas, their stuff is a bit to triggery for my PTSD, so I don't think I'll be featuring them anytime soon.

Derrel Houdashelt. I don't actually like the band myself.
