Heavy Metal Monk
Brother Cesare Bonizzi is an Italian Capuchin monk who leads a Heavy Metal band named for his alter-ego, Brother Metal. Though his lyrics touch lightly on his faith, Bonizzi's music is uncompromising: stylistically, a combination of classic Metal in the vein of Iron Maiden, with the harder edge of what might be called "Death Metal" in any other context.
