The Gods Made Heavy Metal, and They Saw That It Was Good

This was just too good to pass up putting it in my blog.

A news source from Alberta, Canada reports that Jesse Maggrah, 20, recently survived the wallop of an oncoming train.

And he thanks the metal gods for his good fortune.

Maggrah was walking along the Canadian Pacific Railway while listening to Norway's legendary black metal band Gorgoroth. You may remember them as the band that pissed off Poland.

With their unholy riffs invading his ears, Maggrah couldn't hear the train coming. Upon impact, the warrior was thrown four or five meters, but suffered only broken ribs.

He was then immediately overwhelmed by the thought "Holy crap, dude, you just got hit by a train."

METAL.

"Maybe the metal gods above were smiling on me and they didn't want one of their true warriors to die on them," Maggrah said. "Otherwise, I'd be up there in the kingdom of steel."

This young man has effectively characterized metalheads as the knuckleheads we are, to a "T."

Hail!
