Heavy Metal Busker (Video)

June 26, 2012

**UPDATE:** The vocalist in the video has been identified as Dale Butler, frontman of U.K. metal band MALEFICE. The song he is singing is MALEFICE's latest single, "Omega", which was recently released for charity.

A one-minute video clip of a heavy metal fan "busking" (playing music in public for money) on a London, England street can be seen below.

According to a posting on the U.K.-based web site ThrashHits.com, "You can break buskers in London down into approximately four distinct groups. You've got the slightly down-on-their-luck violinist/classical music buskers, you've got the really-crap-sub-OCEAN-COLOUR-SCENE-guitarists-covering-THE-BEATLES types, you've got those guys playing frickin' panpipes, and you've got those guys playing saxophones over a backing track so complex, you wonder whether they're just miming themselves. What you don't get so often is angry young men barking a capella heavy metal songs. And we’re not talking about clean-vocal stuff, either."
