It’s been collectively decided that Robert needed a reprieve from the “Five music videos to help while the weekend away”, so here I am. Who am I? I’m Chris fucking Cantwell – who are you? By trade, I’m a chef. Don’t get me wrong, I love the things my wife refers to as “hoity-toity”, like fois gras, caviar, and truffles. What really got me into cooking, though, was my penchant for knives, for fire, and for screaming at people to get the job done. Those are my qualifications for bringing the “collective you” into a world of music that serves up more than just your average fast-food burrito, metaphorically. I’m into metal. You should be, too. Here’s why:
Behemoth, Conquer All
Cannibal Corpse, Death Walking Terror
Dark Funeral, Atrum Regina
At the Gates, Blinded By Fear
Pig Destroyer, Gravedancer
Because I make the money to buy this music by serving complex meals on fine linens, by orchestrating a symphony of expensive ingredients on one pristine piece of china for patrons to share over candlelight and a bottle of ‘Chateua nuef de Pape’, I would be doing a disservice to myself, and to you, if I didn’t offer a wine pairing. Due to the fact that I’m probably the only person I know who drinks wine recreationally (save for Robert, on his last birthday) I’ll give you my personal Next Best Thing. Pour a can of Guinness into a chilled pint glass, turn up the volume on your computer as loud as it will go, and Bon Appetit.
