Food Metal is a studio-only project that I created in May-June 2004. At that time, I was more or less between bands and not really sure what to do. So, I set out a challenge for myself: write and record an album of metal songs about food in one month's time. It was originally just intended as a musical exercise; a way to improve my songwriting, recording, and guitar skills; and to have some fun; but it turned into a pretty cool album! It exceeded all of my expectations. Partway through, I decided to get some of my talented friends involved to help with vocals and guitar, and they made the project all that much better and that much more fun.
Food Metal features 13 tracks of culinary carnage, including:
- Bagel Fries Atkins Diet Deli Sliced Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Pass The Beets Cotton Candy Asparagus (Can You Guess What I Ate?)
