“Laid To Rest is 20 years old!” This new comedy sketch about ‘modern metal classics’ will make you feel old, guaranteed!

The logos for Trivium, Lamb Of God, Bullet For My Valentine and Mastodon, next to a worried-looking metalhead.

UK comedy grindcore troupe Raised By Owls have uploaded a new sketch to YouTube and social media parodying the concept of the ‘modern metal classic’.

The short skit, embedded below, features the Derbyshire quintet’s vocalist Sam Fowler asking bassist Toby Cope to pick a modern metal classic. When Cope answers with Lamb Of God’s Laid To Rest, Fowler points out that the song is now 20 years old, sending his bandmate (understandably) spiralling into an existential crisis.
