Ever wondered if there was a heavy metal song based on the Highlander series of movies? Well, wonder no longer! England’s Cloven Hoof have seen to it. And here it is for your rocking out enjoyment. The hills have eyes!
I’m not sure what, if any, connection the song has to the movie aside from just being about it but it’s awesome either way. Seeing as how the song came out 3 years after the movie, it’s probably just a badass homage. But really, before anyone gets any big ideas, the best way to remake Highlander would be through song. And even then, there can be only one.
Such a posed shot. The only thing that really makes this a goofy picture (aside from V-arms McGee on drums) is the fact that the singer is holding up the mic to his mouth, yet very obviously isn’t singing. Couldn’t he do something cool like the other guys? He reminds me of one of those glamour shots girls would do back in high school and Mexican women do until their physically unable to any longer. He just needs a drapey blue background and some sequins.
Aye, laddie. The clan of MacLeod calls and immortality awaits in your quest for the head of your enemy. Crank it up and just try not to sing along!
