They mix raucous comedy with borderline-horrific theatrics. The only thing scarier than health problems from years of overeating, is one of Mac Sabbath’s theatrical and also multimedia stage shows. One complete with a smoking grill, laser-eyed clowns, bouncing burgers, and also many more magical surprises. Buzzfeed identified Mac Sabbath as one of the “13 Metal Bands You Didn’t Know How to React To”.
And also as LA’s “Best Tribute Band” by LA Weekly.
Now, Mac Sabbath has revealed details on their first book: Drive-Thru Metal! but don’t expect a stereotypical biography from the fast food-themed parody kings. There’s plenty of “juice” inside, albeit in the form of burgers cooking in the kitchen. The four members of Mac Sabbath take fans on a journey through a dystopian fast-food world. One polluted by its own waste in an innovative hybrid pop-up book.
Check out the trailer and read more about Mac Sabbath’s Drive-Thru Metal below.
Mysterious Mac Sabbath frontman Ronald Osbourne comments, “What’s that? A pop-up book is not what you were expecting? Well SUFFER! ….and you’re welcome.”
