Friday Music Cue: Happy Birthday

Something a little different this Friday. From my new favorite show on my favorite network (next to TCM) Adult Swim, the inspired Metacolypse (full episodes here). The biggest death metal band in the world, composed of dour, hapless rockers, wander into one epic fiasco after another, every move tracked and manipulated by a diabolical conspiracy. Here, it's nihilistic Murder Face's birthday celebration and he's sulking.

Oddly I'm going to check out Steven Beske's show tomorrow--photographs of death metal Norwegians like this cheerful fellow. In a world gone mad, these macabre rockers are almost cuddly and reasuring.
