Metal School

[Eyes of Nine]

In January 2020, it was announced the Unlocking The Truth had ended and frontman Malcolm Brickhouse would be pursuing a solo career under the moniker Malxolm Brixkhouse. Here’s a taste of early UTT:


And later stuff:

I like how in the first video, clearly the videographer (a parent? Friend?) was rocking along to the music, the camera was bouncing subtly...

Posted these guys in the thread about Black musicians, but I figured I'd put it here as well...

Since the early 2000's there's been a pretty fast-growing metal scene in Africa.

This is ARKA'N, from Togo. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any translations of the Ewe-language lyrics.





Side Note: Somehow, looking up facts about this band led to me discovering the existence of an all-female Deep Purple tribute band from Europe called Strange Kind of Women, lol.
Gotta love them random rabbit holes you fall down when you get on the internet...

Stevie T. has been doing a whole series on Metal from different countries on his YouTube channel. Bloodywood was the first band, Voice of Boceprot is pretty good (Danny you're gonna love the solo). But I highly suggest you check them out.

VoB is awesome - when's the last time you heard deep social commentary metal that could also be the big inspirational song in a Disney movie? Those girls need to be the next Disney princess, lol.

And the fact that they are a female positive Islamic group.

The first afrometal band I heard was Skinflint. They’re a trio.

Wrust is another Botswanan metal band, and they’ve toured with Skinflint.

Someone just put this French psychedelic metal band on my radar a couple days ago. Me likey!

For your Metal School experience, might I suggest the movie "Metal Lords" on NetFlix? I appreciate that they didn't take the usual high school romance narrative route too. (You'll know it when you see it.)
