Death Metal Band Performs At Elementary School, Kids Go Nuts (Video)

Death Metal Concert Elementary School

Well, this is something we don’t see every day.

Quebecois tech-death act OBVURT, whose members’ other past and current projects include BLACK CROWN INITIATE, CATTLE DECAPITATION, GOROD, and CRYPTOPSY, performed their latest EP, The Beginning, on the playground of École primaire Saint-Albert-Le-Grand for a lucky group of students.

“The physical education teacher and school principal introduced me to this idea,” said guitarist Philippe Drouin, who is also a music teacher. “He was thinking about a party to celebrate the end of the school year by doing a show in the school backyard where [I teach music]. He knew about the release of The Beginning on March 31st and thought about the idea to bring The Beginning to life in the school backyard.

According to Metal Injection, Drouin was in a car accident in 2016 that left him unable to play with his right hand and forced him to learn to play with his left hand.

“I wasn’t sure at first, it was strange to me,” Drouin said of the show. “But all the kids knew about the fact that I switched to left handed and released something before the pandemic started. That show became a big surprise when the kids recognized the musicians and the OBVURT logo on the amp. The kids really enjoyed the performance, which was very inspiring to us and we were pleased to release this unique performance video.”
