Heavy Metal Monk!

[BTM]

File this under the "You Could Not Make This Up" category.

Apparently in Italy there's this 62 year old Capuchin Monk who sings in a heavy metal band.  They're getting ready to release their second album.  The guy heard the call become a heavy metal singer about fifteen years ago while attending a Metallica concert.

No, I am not kidding.

Actually, he sounds pretty freaking awesome!

Anyway, here's some links!
