AND THE WINNER OF THE BEHEMOTH VOCAL COVER CONTEST IS….

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 at 2:40pm by

… faithful MetalSucks reader Shane Gillis! The panel that selected the winner of this contest included not just your MetalSucks editors but the Brohemoths at Metal Injection, Metal Blade, Behemoth’s management company and, yes, Nergal himself! The choice was unanimous. Here’s what Shane had to say about the contest when he entered:

I feel that I should win the vocal cover contest because I put so much heart, soul, and time into this, when time is the last thing I have right now. Just became a first time father on December 28th. I was so obsessed with this contest that I filmed my wife two days before she had the baby so that I could get video of her pregnant, and then later handing my son to me (just like in the Behemoth video). That takes dedication folks! I worked very hard to make this different than all the others I’ve seen. I wanted to give you something extra, especially during the parts where there are no vocals. I spent many hours on this, so I hope you find it worthy of this amazing contest. Besides all that, I’m 35 years old. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10, and it has ALWAYS been metal. I’m a lifetime devotee. I think Behemoth are the masters of this style and it has been a pleasure to compete in something bearing their name, regardless of the outcome. Damnit I want that guitar!!!

Congrats dude, you deserve it! Enjoy the guitar and Behemoth / Metal Blade swag, and congrats on your newborn. Some day you’ll have a great story to tell your son about how you won that guitar. You should even consider giving it to him when he’s old enough to play!

  • Genial Gentile

    Hilarious. Congrats dude.

  • Sean Williams

    wow. he pinned down those shitty behemoth vocals uncannily well.

    • JOnny fIve aces

      what’s shitty about them?

      • Sean Williams

        besides everything? as well as everything about the band?

          Retard spotted

    • Masonic Wehrmacht

      I’m not a fan of the vocals as well.

      O M G I laughed hysterically when a gun came out of nowhere to his mouth. That alone won it for me.

  • Sacajawea

    That was weird.

  • DecrystallizingReason

    THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

  • Ryan

    I want to shake this mans hand.

    Yeah there is now way this can be topped. Vocal covers should henceforth be illegal.

  • Fasshole

    The first hand witch to the flower came out of nowhere!

  • Rachel

    I lol’d at about 2:16 when it showed the huge “Touchdown Jesus” behind him, but just the arms of it show.

  • canea

    quality work.

  • Blashyrkh

    so what does this show us? that behemoth fans have a better sense of humour than Bodom fans.

  • James

    Weird how the metal injection post and the metal sucks post both said

    Honestly, this guy did not deserve it. Yea he has a sense of humor and its funny as hell, but I thought this was a contest to see who could imitate Behemoth the best. Not act like an idiot, and win the guitar..

    • Genial Gentile

      Quit yer bitchin’, nancy boy.

  • Facebook User

    Shane, congratulations again. You make me so proud to have a friend like you.

  • Shane Gillis

    Thanks James. I’ll write a funny song on my new 7-string about how right you are. GaJong! Jong! Jong!

  • YOUR MAMA

    James, you’re a hater. Awww, did somebody lose the contest? Yes it is funny as hell and apparently having the best vocals DID make him win. Luckily for the viewers acting like “an idiot” added to the overall quality so suck it.

  • James

    Sorry man, I’m not gonna lie, i was jealous. I didn’t enter because i thought it was a serious contest, lol.
    But congrats, and congrats on your son as well.

  • Facebook User

    I’m glad you cleared that up, James. None of us had any idea you were jealous at all. Seriously though, I’d love to see the loads and loads of utter CRAP they had to dig through to find Shane’s video. How many uninteresting, unoriginal videos of people sitting at their computers in front of webcams with their veins popping out of their necks trying to screech the vocals with the lyrics probably pulled up on google in front of them. Way to go Shane.

    sean williams you are indeed a retard

  • Redkari

    Congrats dude! Even though I am a bit biased and think my 8 year old daughter should have won. Guess I need to be content knowing that Nergal has video of her singing it on his cell phone. Enjoy your guitar.

  • TCxArmadax

    Original, and hilarious, I love it dude!
