Because while surfing through the lot of Fargo flood tribute videos on YouTube and rummaging through songs dedicated to Fargo there?s a minor metal theme going on. First on the local front there?s a YouTube video posted by Brady Baxter frontman for the local metal band Kill Baxter. The video plays like a collection of guerrilla shots taken by Baxter while driving around the city searching for scenes of the swollen river ? uh dude appreciate the video but there was this call for volunteers.

Metal Underground
darkstar: Have you ever played with Mecha Messiah before?Paul: No this will be our first gig together. darkstar: How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?Paul: I don?t like to pigeonhole music so when somebody asks me what we sound like I simply say we?re a metal band. To be honest there?s far too many sub-genres of metal music. darkstar: Who are your biggest influences?Paul: We all have different influences which helps keep our music fresh. My influences change all the time and I?m constantly listening to new music. Right now I?m really enjoying the latest Cynic album ?Traced In Air? and Akercocke?s ?Words That Go Unspoken?. But having said that my influences can come from anything in life not just from music.
CM Punk likes to rock the wrestling world

He also hopes to sweep Sunday’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match for a second year in a row. But CM Punk as his name suggests has another passion. He’s a self-professed “metal and punk-rock guy” with an iPod weakness for Justin Timberlake and an itch to start his own band. Q: Entrance music seems to be an important part of a wrestler’s persona. A: Your music that you come to the ring with I think is an extremely important part of your character. It needs to reflect aspects of your personality and it needs to be you.
