Friday Morning Metal – Mac Sabbath – Pair-a-Buns

They’ve been around forever, and they’ve played the Shakedown at least a few times, it’s Mac Sabbath with Pair-a-Buns. It’s a pretty solid riff on Paranoid, and given the recent passing of Ozzy I thought it’d be cool to put something Sabbath-related up. So here we go.

Not sure how much I need to devote to the video, it bounces between the band being out in the world and then a claymation Ronald Osbourne taking out the fast food mascot competition. Mascompetition? I think that’s a new one there. They also talk about how fast food is the devil and as much as that’s true, cheeseburgers are good. The band does a great job matching the original music, and then the spoof lyrics get things going.

Oooh and Ozzy got to meet them and got a kick out of it!

Friday Morning Metal – Powerwolf – Bark at the Moon

The werewolves of Armenia are back at it, this time with a cover of Bark at the Moon, which is pretty fitting for their vibe. Honestly, it’s a wonder they hadn’t covered it sooner. Or they did and I forgot. Regardless, they’ve got a lyric video for the song!

Powerwolf has filled the niche of kinda goofy themed power metal for so long, with songs like Resurrection by Erection and Vampires Don’t Die (whoah oh oh oh), and it’s fun to hear them take a classic metal banger and put their spin on it.

While they stay pretty close to the original material, the band is tight enough to add some zazz when needed. Attila Dorn’s vocals give the song a bit more operatic vibe compared to Ozzy, and when coupled with the organ-sounding keyboards, it really ties the whole thing together.

So check it out, and then listen to more Powerwolf, because they’re fun times.
