The Metal Monch Attacks!

The 62-year old Friar Cesare Bonizzi – a former Capuchin missionary in Ivory Coast – is gaining fame around the globe not as a monch, but as a… metal singer! The long-white-bearded has no qualms bobbing his head and shouting lyrics about alcohol, sex, tobacco and life in general into his microphone. Describing himself as a “preacher-singer”, Bonizzi has been singing for over a decade, and last month wowed heavy metal fans at Italy’s Gods of Metal festival, where he performed with his band Fratello Metallo (Metal Brother) alongside groups such as Iron Maiden. Check it out:
