My acoustic death metal parody of Carol of the Bells, a famous Christmas song of Ukrainian origin, originally called Schedryk. It has a mysterious tune that translates well into a creepy death metal riff.

My cover of I Cum Blood, a famous song by Cannibal Corpse, from their third album - Tomb of Mutilated. At the same time, it's also a cover of Tristeza - a song by a French pop singer Lio whom I find funny.

Death metal cover version of Jingle Bells. There is some bellowing here, so it's more like Jingle Bellows.

Cover of a song from 'Elsa, Fraulein SS' (1977, by Patrice Rhomm), a nazisploitation film starring Malisa Longo. There is a scene in the film where Pamela Stanford is playing a singer at the party. She is sitting on a grand piano and singing a playful song in French about Ilsa who won't "return into her arms", teasing Elsa with her fluffy scarf (or how that thing is called correctly).

After watching this scene, the tune stayed in my head for a long time, spinning over and over again. And when this happens, sometimes it results in me making a death metal parody of it.

Acoustic cover of a song by the most badass Russian thrash metal band — Коррозия металла (Korrozia Metalla) - Фантом (Phantom) from their 1988 album — Орден сатаны (Orden Satany/Order of Satan).

Showing my preferred guitar tuning - Open G6. It's so unpopular that I couldn't find any good tutorials on using it for hard rock, blues, and metal. It's so amazing that it's crazy that nobody has disclosed its main benefits yet. So I had to do it myself:

I'm showing how it's better than the standard tuning when playing in the key of G:

1) how it allows to play rhythm and solo at the same time

2) how much easier it allows to play rocking licks fast

3) how slightly easier it makes playing death metal in D

Just a video of me throwing DIY shurikens and kitchen knives in watermelons like a real ninja or a samurai or an idiot.

Sometimes I like to do it to fool around in the kitchen when it's summer and I've just bought a big and juicy watermelon. Because I don't have any social life, so that's what I do to entertain myself.

I find throwing shurikens in watermelons oddly satisfying. There is something special in how the blade enters the ripe flesh of a watermelon with this cracking sound, and then a drop of juice comes out and runs down. And then there is a puddle of juice under the watermelon. And realizing that you have thrown it correctly and successfully hit the aim.

I made an acoustic death metal cover of 'The Enterprise Room' by Phil Thomas Katt - one of my favorite songs of all that I've seen on The Uncharted Zone. PTK published it on his channel, and this version is horizontally reflected so YouTube will think it's not duplicate content.

Here is the link to my original music video on The Uncharted Zone: https://youtu.be/7LZ4ZwGRs8g

Also, a filming studio Perpetual Doom reached out to me and requested my video to be included in their film Space Happy: The Phil Thomas Katt Documentary that is going to be released in 2020. Apart from my song, it will feature many other covers of The Enterprise Room too: https://youtu.be/iRNKkJxmKEM

Cover of “Nuclear Death/The Third Antichrist” by Nuclear Death from their demo “Wake Me When I’m Dead” 1986 in acoustic death metal and parody manner.

Nuclear Death is one of the earliest death metal bands, and they are not even from Florida, but from Arizona. They have always been a trio: Lori Bravo (bass and vocals), Phil Hampson (guitar) and Joel Whitfield (drums) later replaced by Steve Cowen in 1990. Unfortunately, they aren’t as well-known as Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel and other old school bands, but they are a real classic old school death metal band.

I learned about Nuclear Death when I was about twelve years old, in 2003, from an issue of Dark City—a Russian magazine about heavy metal music. There was a partially humorous article written in the form of a fictional interview: the author wrote that he randomly met Lori Bravo in Moscow and took an interview from her.

There were also short summaries of the lyrics from a few of their songs, and “Bride of Insect” was the most detailed. This made me freak out quite a bit, as I wasn’t used to this kind of lyrics at that time and I didn’t even know well at that age what death metal was.

A few years later, when I was approximately seventeen years old and had the Internet connection, I looked Nuclear Death up online and started to listen to them.

Initially I planned to make this cover song together with Lori Bravo. I reached out to her, and offered her to contribute her vocals. Lori said she was busy with the recording of her next album, but she would try to find the time to try. But when I was working on the recording of the music, Lori’s cat Miso died. Lori was mourning for a few weeks, and of course, that wouldn’t be appropriate to ask her about the vocals when the mix was ready. So I just finished the song myself.

As always, I decided to make the song funny, so I changed the lyrics (except for the last verse) and made the song about Lori’s cats: Lori has six or seven cats (and a dog and also a tortoise).

Overall, the proto-black metal pioneers Venom are not one of my favorite heavy metal bands, but a few of their songs, particularly Nightmare, are among my favorites. While Venom are known for being among the first speed metal bands who made the speed a priority, I prefer their songs that have a slower tempo. Apart from Nightmare, I also like their songs Stand Up (and Be Counted), To Hell and Back, Buried Alive, Countess Bathory, Don't Burn The Witch, and Warhead. This is actually the full list of the songs by Venom that I like. In my opinion, their slower songs sound more powerful.

Particularly, I enjoy their music video that not only has that cool 80’s heavy metal look, but is also filled with humour and reminds poorly-made exploitation horror films. Especially the scene where Cronos is walking through the garden and is viciously hitting the tree branches with his cane to show how aggressive, nasty and evil person his character is.

The soldier has obviously fake and ridiculous mustache. In the comment section to the video about filming the music video Nightmare ( https://youtu.be/KBac5tNnwkk ), the man who had played the soldier wrote that in the dancing scene he was supposed to say to the girl “your beauty is ageless”, but instead he said “your booty is ageless”. His voice was dubbed anyway, so in the music video we hear “beauty”.
