You didn’t understand all those abstract paintings that were really just big squares of red, blue, and green.

Death metal was once was “underground” and “niche”. Now it’s on the verge of tearing through America’s sternum. Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse finishes up its third season this Sunday, so to honor the genre, we take a look at the Scariest Bands of All-Time. Hail Satan!
