If you didn't know heavy metal music themed after your favorite fast food joint was something missing in your life, chances are you aren't familiar with Mac Sabbath. To catch you up, Mac Sabbath is a “drive-thru metal parody" band that likes their metal black, and their fries toasty. They also just released their second-ever song and accompanying video that you're getting a first look at exclusively here on The Laugh Button.
The song, a take on Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" titled, "Sweet Beef" is a trippy romp through what we'd imagine is a fever dream that comes upon Gwar after day three of non-stop psychedelics and fast food... including a beef monster that perhaps is a distant cousin to Pizza The Hut? This video is so psychedelic, it will leave you with the munchies! Deranged vocalist Ronald Osbourne says: “Mac Sabbath ‘meats’ marionettes! There will be blood!”
The “Sweet Beef” video concept was created by Mac Sabbath, Michael Serwich and Matt Scott, with maroniettes managed by Matt Scott and Rasputin's Marionettes and editing and effects by Joe Seafus. So, if you like both your rock riffs and your burgers beefy, Mac Sabbath is probably going to be your new favorite band. Now, who do we have to talk to in order to get these guys on the road with Tenacious D and Gwar?
