TEN MASKED MEN


so here lately ive kind of backed off the black metal. kind of. just a break really. been on a pink Floyd/david Gilmour/primus kick. none of that has anything to do with ten masked men. this is pretty much a death metal version of me first and the gimme gimmes. all covers of current and past pop/rock songs. yes. Justin timberlake, lady gaga, coolio (by far my favorite song from these albums, I mean really, a death metal version of gangstas paradise?! fucking great!), Michael Jackson, Britney spears, ricky martin, peter Gabriel, frank Sinatra, survivor, etc., etc. you know youre curious. do it.
