Do you like heavy metal? Do you like grilling? Then you are going to love True Metal Grilling.
Hosted by local guitar virtuoso Justin Zych, this parody grilling show provides tips on how to grill, smoke, and prepare all sorts of tasty foods.
“We created this because people love to grill and love metal, so why not combine them?” Zych said. “We only have a couple episodes thus far, but more are on the way, so be ready.”
These entertaining videos are full of sound effects, spiked leather armbands, beer, headbanging, and swords. In one episode, Zych minces garlic with a four-foot Viking sword. In addition, Zych writes, performs, and produces all of the music on the shows with producing and mixing credits going to Dan Wagoner and Nick Henney. Look for True Metal Grilling on YouTube to find episodes on ribs, pizza on the grill, and spicy mayo.
In other Zych news, his band Zephaniah recently took to YouTube, as well, with a remote video of the band performing Iron Maiden’s “Hallowed Be Thy Name.”
