Hey everyone! We’ve scraped our way to the end of another bloody week (hopefully not literally) and can finally enjoy the weekend! Also it’s a Friday so I need to post another video. But not just any video. No no, this is a cover video. And not just any cover video, but Tool‘s Lateralus. So I hope you’re ready for some recreational math, because this song is chock full of references to the Fibonacci Sequence,… Continue reading
Hey everyone! Hope you’re ready for some more metal, because we’re diving into another Death tune today!

Hey everyone! Do you like disco? Because we’re doing a weird spin on a disco classic today, with the Turisas version of Rasputin! That’s right, vikings playing metal disco. Just, don’t worry about it, it’s great. Trust me. Now I’ve done a bit more with this cover than just what the guitars are playing in the original recording. Decided to also play some of the violin pieces, added an octave or two to the main… Continue reading
