MATZAH METAL: TOOL, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER AND CARCASS GET DOWN WITH THE TEN PLAGUES

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008 at 11:03am by

It’s time for the second installment of our Passover series relating the Ten Plagues to metal. Today we have lice, flies and cattle disease! So metal. Heathens beware… ’cause the Jews besaved.

#3 – Lice: God created a plague of lice from handfuls of dust which swarmed in the air and irritated the skin of the Egyptians and their animals.

Tool – “Sober”: I imagine this dude is so miserable because lice have eaten his skin away. he must have been Egyptian.

#4 – Flies: God created the plague of dog flies that bit the Egyptians and attached themselves to their eyelids, but the Hebrews were unaffected by them.

The Black Dahlia Murder – “Flies” (live):

#5: Cattle Disease: Murrain – murrain means a cattle plague. This is a virus that affects cattle and eventually kills them. Most Egyptian cattle were affected by this plague but the Hebrew cattle were not.

Carcass — duh! Sick live clip from 1992:

    I don’t understand why the Soilwork clip is in there. Maybe if you’d posted “One With The Flies” or something… Also, you seem to reference a Tool clip that isn’t posted.

    More sober posts, please.
