That's the guy from the Proceedings podcast, no?

Yes.

While playing Path of Exile I've head Preach's MMO Drama series on in the background. There's 9 seasons, but it's ok if you start with the latest (as I did):

In short, users write stories of their MMO - mostly WoW - drama to him (usually guild related, or messy dating relationships), and the stories range from hilarious to intensely cringe-worthy, and often both. Don't mind his shouty intro, the rest of the episode is not that way. How embellished the stories are is up for debate, obviously, but some do include screenshot proof of the story (or at least their side of it).

J.B.O.'s cover of "Music Was My First Love" called, surprisingly, "Metal Was My First Love":

Can you recognize all album covers (solution at the end of the video)?

[The Larch]

Didn't know these guys, that was a fun one.

They're not really known outside Germany. They mostly do parody covers and other comedy songs and sing predominantly in German.

Their cover of Roots by Sepultura is also great, with a parody Pavarotti: https://youtu.be/GbXpFiJoFj8

I'll look up some of their songs and maybe do a comedy metal playlist with them, Nanowar of Steel and Gigatron.

Sounds like a plan

Maybe check out We Butter The Bread With Butter then - though they sing exclusively in German, so the humor might get lost (i.e. the contrast between lyrics and metalcore).

Definitely add Eskimo Callboy, though:

They also asked a bunch of other bands to cover Hypa Hypa, so you'll find parodies of that song, too.

New song by Bloodywood: Gaddaar. They label themselves Indian Folk Metal, though IMHO they also lean heavily towards Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down.

Moms react to their sons' new death metal video.

Sure, they'll be biased, but it's still cute.

[Josquius]

Would be an improvement to mention what position the guys have in the band as well as their names. But cute.
It's a funny fact of life that heavy metal tends to attract the nicest guys.

What about Norwegian Reggaeton? (though made by Italians, tbf)

Metal chicks are one of those expectations vs reality things.

In German (sorry).
