Internal Organs Brofist - Death metal band of the future

For some reason, Heavy Metal and painting are completely linked in my head. Well, actually Heavy Metal, miniatures and comic books are sort of a Holy trinity for me. I've already talked about my passion for comic books from the occidental side and the oriental side before so let me develop the musical side a bit.

My cousins who basically introduced me to miniatures also introduced me to Heavy metal music and comics at the same time.

Just throw : 

And plenty of others with a load of :

 Amongst many others, as well as :

Amongst many others to a poor 9 years old kid and watch his brain melt and take another twisted form.

If from all those I hadn't understood Heavy metal was the definition of awesome, I would have been the biggest idiot of all times. So I just grabbed the 2nd place instead, I'm not lying, all those truly hit me in the guts and still define most of my taste, they've become my grammar for stuff I like. I've grown to like far more than just those but these are what brought the sparkle that ignited a fire that never ceased to burn.

So what made me cross the line and do a band ? Well for one, there were some absolutely brilliant figures sculpted by Mark Copplestone and available from Forlorn Hopes and then there were the Mushrööm Klöwds from my friend Paul.

The name of the band even originated from a conversation after Christmas when our stomachs were stuffed with Chocolate, alcohol and gravy.

"hey liver ! wasap ? motherfucker's eating chocolate, yeah.... it's that time of year again, you and me like usual (internal organs brofist), yeah, see you buddy."

"- shall we warn the pancreas as well ? - nah, le'ts let him have the surprise... - lol"

And just like that it seemed obvious to make the Internal Organs Brofist the name of the coming band...

But to fully exist on the scene, a proper Metal band needs musicians, tracks and a proper undecipherable logo. (Fans aren't a requirement, they're just a bonus)

Good thing is, I already had the perfect track for them. Here's their most famous track : Ffffffffff, which is actually a cover for an ancient band from Terra :

Just for the record, this song is a Death metal track we recorded with our band "Stop the Madness" a few years back amongst other things...

Which leads us to the Logo. Any good metal band must have one ass kicking logo that's hard enough to read.

See what I'm talking about ? Well I'll be honest, I totally lack any graphic skill so I tried to come up with something that would fit well enough and tweaked it with computer madness enough to make it OK.

Abracadabra :

Now I usually try to name as many of my characters but often leave that aside for small regular bands. I suppose this is not one of these so here's the complete line-up (as of now) :

Kerry "Tombgrinder"Akerfeldt

Nico "Beastmaster V" Mounier

George "Corpsefucker" Plant

Marty "Slasher" Hammett

Cliff "Maggoth" Harris

I know this is all pretty niche stuff and we might be a few bunch to like this stuff (metal combined with miniatures combined with stupid nerdy references I mean) but hey, life's not a rehearsal, so let's just play the fucking tunes we want to hear !

In the next posts, we'll keep quite a sinister tone so prepare yourselves. Look deep inside your heart, you'll realise it's full of BLOOD !
