This Friday, Schaghticoke, NY will be host to the first ever Rock’n Derby, a 3-day music and demolition derby festival that will feature performances from such acts as Fiver Finger Death Punch, Lamb of God, Clutch, Wolfmother, Parkway Drive, Corrosion of Conformity, Thy Art is Murder, and a lot more! And that’s just on the first day!
To celebrate this upcoming event, we asked a few of the bands to share with us their thoughts on which horror movie is the most metal of them all. Below are their answers, some of which go into depth while others prefer the tacit approach. No matter what, it’s definitely a good topic for conversation, so weigh in with your thoughts in the comments below!
Tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.
If you want to know if either Lamb of God or Anthrax are worth seeing live, we’ve got some exclusive photos from a show earlier this year in Detroit that prove they’re here to kick untold amounts of ass!
Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria
Shock Em Dead!
Charlie Benante of Anthrax
Man…. this is tough. I’m going to say “The Thing”, that movie is so metal. The paranoia in that movie is the same as being on a tour bus with someone getting sick and wondering when and if you’re going to get it. One of my favorites!
Scott Ian of Anthrax
John Carpenter’s The Thing is the most metal horror movie because it’s the best horror movie therefore making it the most metal. And MacReady definitely listens to Judas Priest. That’s a Hollywood fact.”
Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire
Frozen
Keith Williams of Schism
Yes, 36 years ago. Hands down the animated classic Heavy Metal!
Matt Brooks of Like A Storm
The ‘Alien’ movies! Terrifying, jet black, acid-blooded aliens designed by HR Giger massacre unsuspecting scientists and marines alike in the cold and unfeeling reaches of deep space. What could be more metal? Bonus horror points for being the movie to popularize the idea that traveling into deep space might just be scary as sh#t.
