I knew rock had a lot of weird sub-genres, but I wasn't aware that "death metal drinking music" was one of them.
Well, leave it to the folks at NPR to enlighten us in this recent story. Apparently there are bands out there with names like Tankard and Alestrom that specialize in writing songs that are angry and loud, while also offering dubious advice on such matters as resisting the urge to remain sober, and pretending you are a pirate so you can go "looting" for beer.
While it's somewhat entertaining to listen to this stuff, I think I'll choose Yo La Tengo and moderation.
