Heard (Of) But Not Seen
Being a (mediocre) musician myself, there's always a few bands that I hear a lot about but may not "experience" for myself, for whatever reason. Usually I just don't want to shell out $12-20 for a CD that might suck. So when someone jogged my memory as to the existence of this singer/band, I had to look it up on YouTube and I am glad that I did. I don't think that I'll check out any more of their stuff, but upon repeat viewings, this video brings a big smile to my face every time. Why, you ask?
There's a middle aged Danish guy in kabuki make-up
Rampant, ridiculous "devil worship" that's usually reserved for the Trapper-Keeper of an angsty, metal-head 14-year-old
Vocals that go from falsetto to cookie monster faster'n you can blink
Dueling guitar leads
Best of all...HE'S SINGING ABOUT HIS F&!%$#*G GRANDMA!
King Crimson (That's the name of our Danish friend, and this band, but he also sings for "Mercyful Fate," I think) - "Welcome Home"
Listen to that first falsetto shriek, and laugh you ass off!
I found a few lines from the song disturbing as well. I think (hope) he's singing about wanting to be able to touch his dead grandma - as in she's real. Not in a yucky way. But it is heavy metal from northern Europe, so who knows.
My word verification is "dultra," which would be a pretty good band name.

If I've posted pictures or videos that belong to someone else, or added a link to your site and you don't want it here, let me know and it'll be removed. I'm not making any money off of the scant handful of people that meander through here once in a while.

That's both hilarious and horrifying all at the same time. Good find.
Although the part where's he says "Grandma I want to touch you" is just plain disturbing.
