Scoredatura 

Have you heard Meshuggah? Animals as Leaders? It's kinda like that but way worse. Have you heard any jazz? It's kinda like that but way better. Because let's face it, jazz sucks. And metal is awesome. That's why these nerdy little jazz musicians are going to play some metal music. Don't get your hopes up, they're not very good at it, but they try hard, their wives and girlfriends say they're good. The bass player now has long hair, so that's something. The drummer is bald, so that's something. The guitarists look really awkward while they try to get their manicured fingers around the riffs that the drummer wrote on his computer because he can't play guitar, so that's something. There's no singer to get in the way, so that's something. So it's something alright?
