Is Hellfire about to get a heavy-metal soundtrack? YouTuber Andre Antunes, identified for reworking viral moments into headbanging anthems (and with a following of 870K subscribers) has used an unlikely supply for his newest creation: an exorcism carried out by controversial televangelist Bob Larson, allegedly exorcising a demon known as “Thor”.
The video, titled “Exorcism Goes Metallic,” sees Antunes weaving Larson’s dramatic pronouncements (“Out, demon, within the identify of Jesus!”) with shredding guitars, pummeling drums, and guttural vocals paying homage to black steel. The possessed particular person, recognized solely as “John,” even earns reward for his unintentionally metal-esque growls.
“Man, steel vocalists have a tough time getting paying gigs within the Bible Belt,” quips one commenter, highlighting the absurdity of the state of affairs. Different lauds “That was an ideal growl proper there. This man wants a report deal NOW”.
Larson, self-proclaimed “The Actual Exorcist,” has lengthy demonized rock music, labeling it as “evil and satanic” and attributing its rhythms to demonic manipulation, and “a darkish world of occultism, medicine, and perverted intercourse.” Antunes‘s steel reinterpretation may very well be seen as a playful subversion of Larson‘s views, turning his phrases into an unlikely tribute to the very style he condemns.
In fact, some could discover the video disrespectful in direction of non secular beliefs. However Antunes has a historical past of remodeling controversial materials – from his washer end-of-cycle melody to a televangelist’s COVID-19 “judgment” sermon – into humorous, sudden heavy steel tunes. Whether or not you see it as irreverent satire or just inventive reimagining, “Exorcism Goes Metallic” is bound to spark dialog and a myriad of reactions.
