The Metal Project: The Triumph Of Metal

 Time is a funny thing. One day you start thinking about that person you haven't seen in a little while and then you realise that the last time you chatted was 5 year ago. Then you realise that you haven't done a Metal project post in over a year.

 Oops. 

So, my apologies for the delay but I thought I'd better put up some songs. As always the criteria are as follows:

1. It has to be a metal band. (Or at least metal adjacent, whatever that means)

2. The song has to have "Metal" in the title. Hence the name "The Metal Project" 

3. No covers. 

4. No live songs (unless that's all I can find) 

5. No instrumentals (Unless I like them) 

6. No NSBM (Because fuck those nazi bellends in the ears)

7. No AI songs. (Because AI scares me.)

Now we're all caught up, let's get some music on.  No theme this time; I just grabbed some new-ish stuff. I hope you like it.

So as we can see, in the year 2025 people are still making metal songs about how awesome metal is. 
There's still hope for humanity.

That's all folks.

Dear Youtube...

 Hello there Youtube, you got a minute for a little chat? 

We've been together for quite a while now and while for the most part it's been great - I honestly don't know what I'd do without you giving me a regular supply of music, dogs  and memes - there are a few things I wanted to bring up. 

 Starting with:

1. Adverts.

We both knew this one was coming, didn't we? Look, I am OK with you needing to make a profit but  50 minutes of unskippable ads before every video?  30 minutes of unskippable adverts every 15 minutes?  Calm it down will you? 

 Also, I am a 55 year old man. Why am I getting adverts for beauty products and tampons? 
Are you trying to tell me something? 

2. Youtube Premium 

 This is never going to happen. Accept it and move on. 

3. The Algorithm. 

 Please stop recommending me things I have already watched. Jeez, that gets frustrating after a while.  

4. AI Music Videos

...Are creepy and disturbing.  Make them stop. 

5. Deleted videos

Lastly, I'd like to make a suggestion.  Can you please add a feature where I can remove deleted/private videos from a playlist without having to go through each and every one? Cheers. 

Now that wasn't so bad, was it?  

Let's sit down with a cuppa and some hobnobs, and find a video of people failing at parkour.
Sound like a plan? 

That's all folks.
