ABBA goes metal..

Yes, you heard me right.

ABBA. Goes. Metal.

What. The. Figgedy. Fuck!!!

I grew up to ABBA. I'm sure a lot of you guys did too. And no matter what you listen to, whether you love them or hate them, you've probably heard them.

It is a standard of this wild and weird thing we call the internet that there is always something out there. Stuff that you don't expect to see. Stuff that you never thought you'd see. Stuff that you hope/pray/beg/plead that you'd never see. The Goatse Guy, TubGirl, 2 Girls 1 Cup and many others we wish we never saw. So many examples of Rule 34, some bad, some horrible.

And I ran into this. A bittorrent file that points to A Tribute to ABBA. Sounds good. After all, it's a tribute, to ABBA! But then comes the kicker. It's all done by metal bands. No, not bands of metal. Metal Bands. This scares me. This scares me. Disturbs me. Freaks me the fuck out. Kinda like a Groucho Marx glasses and mustache on the Mona Lisa.

But it arouses me. It calls to me. It makes me wonder ,what the fuck!!

So I put it on my download queue and pull it down. I listen to it.

I like it.

Really.

There. I said it. I like the metal bands singing ABBA.

For you purists out there. This may not be really metal. Or this may not be really ABBA.

But this tribute really is that. A tribute. Done with love and respect.

The songs are pretty much the same. Not many changes. Maybe a word or two. The musical theme pretty much the same. But there is a metalness about it. Stronger guitars and basslines. A slightly more strident vocal line. While the music was thematically the same, there was enough of a difference to make it worth listening to. Enough ABBA to seem familiar and bubblegum enjoyable. Enough metal to headbang.

Yes, I said headbang.

It is possible that headbanging to ABBA is a sign of the Apocalypse. Kind of like Pat Boone singing Metal. But I did it. There are tracks there, that coupled with the fact that it is ABBA made me headbang.

So yes Sri Lanka, there is a Metal album of ABBA tracks.

An yes, it's interestingly good, and, if you're an ABBA fan. worth listening to.
