Being in seminary, I tend to be around quite a few monks. I’ve seen contemplative monks, monks that brew beer, some that breed dogs. However, I’ve never encountered one like Brother Cesare — a 62-year-old frontman for a metal band that’s shared the stage with the likes of Iron Maiden.
I would’ve loved to have heard the conversation he had with his Minister Provincial (long name for a Friar’s boss) about this. Brother Cesare has a nice set of lungs. Viva Fratello Metallo!
This guy sucks. I’m already tired of hearing about him.
Further proof that old people are both dangerous and unpredictable.
This is stupendous.
He has a far more intriguing metal voice than the legions of phil anselmo / dan weyandt copycats in the scene today.
Wow.. This is crazy. He’s 68 years old and he’s doing this. He’s hardcore. This is a rare thing for monks to do.
Yes yes, Ryan. You know all, you are the end all / be all trend setter for the modern metal movement. Move on now.
My apologies for not being into gimmicky bullshit, shitty metalcore, and watered-down deathcore. None is, was, or ever will be METAL.
Maybe that is they don’t call it metal ryan.
Speak English or die.
Ryan, you should be ashamed of yourself
milkweed is gimmicky bullshit
Matt is a faggot.
Sorry I took too long to get back here. I think it’s ironic that you sit here and smear your label feces all over our boards while railing against bands that are catchy and maybe not terribly creative, meanwhile not one of the four bands on your label are good or creative. I’d think you’d want a good roster before getting on here and shit talking every popular metal band in the scene right now. No band is really more or less creative in making music - there’s nothing new under the sun! Some just run the play better than others. Not every band can be a Coalesce, Candiria, or BTBAM.
And there are a million reasons why one person likes one band and not another, but at the end of the day all people want is a band that knows the formula and works within it exceedingly well. Then from time to time we get a band that reinvents the whole thing. Your constant bitching (and the above mentioned crap roster you promote) reveals that you can’t wrap your head around that fact. Here’s a small tip for you: Sell what people are buying.
The most ridiculous thing is that we’re having this discussion on a thread about a 60-something friar fronting a metal band because he thinks it’s the most passionate way to promote the Gospel! He never said anything about trying to impress anyone or whatever, and in spite of what you say, he’s very much loved!
In summation, you’re being a jackass, and you should knock it off.
Wow. End of thread. Well said sir.
Fratello Metallo still couldn’t sing to save his fucking life.
AND I have never once spammed my label on these boards. AND my label is not a serious endeavor… it’s merely a hobby; something that I do when my funds so allow to, to give to some bands that I happen to personally enjoy.
Also, I only bitch on here, because of the drastic amounts of scene-garbage that comes gurgling through the pipes. I keep coming back, because I work all day on the internet, and I’m bored as hell. Plus, I do appreciate when good bands are covered on here, or when I get to read some juicy gossip about some underground musician.
The fact that your solution to the mundane is to: buy it, love it, and sell it, proves to me that you can wrap your head around the fact that there are bands that ARE doing something NEW and PROGRESSIVE out there. I know, that may mean digging deeper past the watered down Christian metalcore of labels like Solid State… but to me, it’s worth it.
I myself attempt to prove the “there’s nothing new under the sun” statement wrong. I know it’ll always be true, and someone will always find some sort of comparison, but why not try?
Here’s my spam:

That’s my serious endeavor. Sure, it’s still a hobby… and I’ll never get rich off it. But I enjoy writing and recording and performing, and GOOD GOD, there are others out there that enjoy what I do. It even surprises me.
Debut 12″ and CD out early 2009. I’ll be sure to shit my spam all over the Buzzgrinder boards when it’s out - that way you know what real spam is.
Because for future reference, being active on a board, giving one’s opinion, and generally avoiding turning the internet into SRS BZNESS, is not spam.
PS: Can we still be friends?
He hates you Ryan
What does TDWP stand for?
What’s going on in this thread?
We’re fighting for our right to party.
Stands for the devil went poop
Ryan - you proved my point. Thanks.
Your point being?
I love metal
Metal is not the devil’s music. Bull crap. There is no such thing. What maters is what’s in the heart.
