Metal Monday: Metal Gluttony for Thanksgiving
posted in: Reviews & Playlists • Rock
Thanksgiving is just around the bend, so I think it’s about time to get into the turkey frame of mind. Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is for, well, giving thanks (obviously). But it’s also a day when many Americans stuff their faces with more food than they can shake a stick at. So the holiday is as synonymous with gluttony as it is thankfulness. In the spirit of stuffing (and gravy and pie), this playlist features five metal songs about overeating. Naturally, some of these songs feature things that you wouldn’t necessarily want on your Thanksgiving plate, such as human flesh (shout to all you zombies out there!).
Get ready to loosen your belt and fill up on these gluttonous metal songs before you hit the Thanksgiving buffet.
- “To Taste The Living” by A Vision Grotesque – Now, I’m not a zombie or a cannibal, but the wording of the title of this song makes eating living things sound like an absolute treat.
- “Devour the Dead” by Dysentery – A step closer to normalcy, this song isn’t about zombies eating live humans. Instead, it’s about eating dead ones. Or maybe not, but I can pretend. If I had to imagine what the musical equivalent of cannibalism woudl be, this song is it.
- “Dirge of the Flesh Eaters” by Fetal Butchery – I’m a live human being. That being said, I can’t really get on board with mourning any sort of creature that would be a glutton for my flesh, but that’s what this song is about.
- “Eat Your Weight” by Nobody Lives Forever – In any way you interperet the name of this song, it is very brutal.
- “Gluttony” by Drunk on Power – There is no mistaking what this song is about, given the song name.
