Don t worry about the metal whoppers taking part in the recent attempted coup, says Kez Whelan, there are a lot more relevant statements being made out there.
Asphyx
Any hopes 2021 would see a return to relative normality have been dashed in record time as Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer made headlines for the first time in, ooh, well over a decade this week, after being snapped amongst the armed, riotous mob of MAGA terrorists that stormed the US capitol.
It’s depressing, but hardly surprising; Schaffer has always been a reactionary right-wing idiot, as anyone who’s had the misfortune of sitting through his unbearably maudlin 9/11-themed ballad, When The Eagle Cries will attest.
The history of death metal could never be told without the inclusion of Martin van Drunen s iconic vocals. The Dutch musician came up as a member of Pestilence, adding his distinct tortured death growls to the band s classic first two albums
Malleus Maleficarum (1988) and
Consuming Impulse (1989). From there, Van Drunen joined the great Asphyx, performing on the band s massive 1991 debut
The Rack and 1992 s masterful follow-up
Last One on Earth. Van Drunen left the band soon after and proceeded to do stints in Bolt Thrower, Grand Supreme Blood Court and Hail of Bullets, among others. He rejoined Asphyx in 2007 where he s been holding down the frontman position ever since.
