QuoteCampaign Launched To Get Heavy Metal Recognised As A Religion
Saxon vocalist Biff Byford is figure-heading a campaign to get heavy metal recognised as a religion in the UK.
Byford has teamed up with Metal Hammer Magazine for a campaign urging British rock fans to adopt heavy metal as their 'religion' ahead of the 2011 census.
At the last census nine years ago, 390,127 people in England & Wales and a further 14,052 in Scotland stated 'Jedi' as their religion thanks to a massive internet campaign.
It was ultimately ranked as the fourth most popular religion in the UK behind Christianity, Islam and Hinduism.
In 2011, it may be heavy metal's turn.

Holy shit, Saxon. Haven't heard that band name in a long time.

They ascended and stopped turning out albums.

Well, on the plus side, I guess we could then have band theme codes printed on military night vision sights. :P
"Sarge, what does the 'OU812' notation on my scope mean?"
