Disney Metal? Has The World Gone Mad?

 With all the crap going on lately with Covid and making things miserable for everyone, we need to find something unique and step out of the shitstorm. When it comes to today's mainstream music, most of the time it's not that great but every now and then, something comes along and just wakes your ass up and thank the universe there's still some awesome music out there.

I've been a metal fan for the longest time and I'll take it over any pop song of any era but other forms of rock has its perks plus you can never go wrong with Joan Jett or Jimi Hendrix or Metallica. I've also been a born and bred Disney kid and having fun at Disneyland and all that stuff. However, when you mix Metal & Disney, that almost sounds like an abomination especially if you're a die-hard Disney fanatic but for some reason, someone comes along and actually makes it work and sounds so amazingly awesome.

 I never thought I could imagine a genre mixed with the House Of Mouse can be so bad ass yet beautifully done at the same time. If you ever remembered from your childhood, watching the original Mulan from the 90's and seeing what it took for a woman to be among the warriors of men and battling against the huns. That big song I'll Make A Man Out Of You was a great hit and made the movie legendary, what if a new version was sung for a new generation that not only blew the original out of the water but made you feel it should've been in the live version? That song is more than a reality, it's already practically gone Viral. 

A singer named Peyton Parrish does some incredible songs (mainly Viking style metal) and does some covers that are just incredibly powerful but his adaptation of Mulan's I'll Make A Man Out Of You jumped that song into not only the memories of those who adored the original film but gave it a new feel that just makes you want to get up and battle whatever it is you're facing with vigor and inner strength. 

He's been sampling this song for months until it was released yesterday and for me, it was well worth the wait. Hell, I used it as my start up workout of hitting the tire with my new sledgehammer. Did rep after rep until the song was over (over 3 minutes long) and just feeling alive. It was a great way to start the day. 

Has the world gone mad? Sometimes going mad can bring out interesting things and I believe this is more than interesting, it's a vital part of why music continues to inspire us and do things we never thought we could. Listen and let your heart burn with passion and vitality.
