The Metal Project: Short and Savage

    Metal bands have always loved a good epic. Rhyme Of the Ancient Mariner, One, Victim of Changes... a whole bunch of Dream Theater songs....basically a chance to fit in some extended soling, Proggy time changes and two and a half pages of lyrics.

 Then there's bands that go the other way. Bands that take the stripped down, no frills approach of Punk and file it down even further.  Throw in a vicious sense of humour and you have the bands I'm posting today.

Every single one of these songs has the word "Metal" in the title. 

Just don't expect the usual fist-in-the air stuff.
