I'm a sucker for a beautiful warrior-woman. So when I stumbled across this old Schanpps advert, I had to put it on here. It really ought to be on a metal album cover - a band that loves USPM circa 1986 and thinks that needs to be a thing again.
One of the things I like about metal is the way it can be adapted to fit so many requirements. Although metal might originally have been seen as something for young white men by young white men, metal has also become a vehicle for other voices and experiences. Muslim youth in Indonesia have their bands, African bands sing about themes that Africans can relate to. Gay people have metal, gamers have metal, anime fans have metal...
Everybody should - and probably do - have a metal band that totally gets where you're coming from.
Well I am happy to report an exciting new development. Clearly spurred on by the realisation that "amphibians don't gots no good metal", somebody created it. Ladies and gentlemen, boys girls and tadpoles may I introduce you to:
