Entry #2 - Anger by Thor

You are not prepared for the mighty Thor. Nothing can prepare you for the mighty Thor. You just kind of have to take it all in. The awful lyrics, the awful vocals, the generic metal, the horrible costumes, the stupid video... It all comes together to create something that is simply too amazing to put into words.




I hope you enjoy this film adaptation of Golden Axe for the Sega Genesis.


This guy has a small and dedicated cult following, and it's easy to see why. He's a practitioner of the style of heavy metal that I like to call "D&D Bullshit Metal." I enjoy many performers of this kind of metal (Okay, not many - just Ronnie James Dio), because most of it feels like a it has to be a joke, but to assume that it is would be giving guys like Thor far too much credit.

But whether or not he knew how bad this is is beside the point. The point is that it is bad. Really bad. Awesomely bad. And the best part is that he's still doing this. Here's a clip of him in Helsinki in 2011.





You gotta give the guy one thing - he's going for it. He's putting on a show and people are enjoying seeing it. I love this guy.


Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans might recognize Thor as one of the stars of Zombie Nightmare.
