Mac Sabbath Turns Up the Heat in Birmingham

From the outside, Workplay in downtown Birmingham doesn’t really look like the type of place to host a metal show. The space is a multi-use event center, containing ,among other things, office spaces and a coffee shop; however, go inside and you’ll find a concert hall that’s the right level of grimy for a band like Mac Sabbath. Mac Sabbath, for those unfamiliar, describe themselves as “drive-thru metal”, playing Black Sabbath covers with lyrics changed to be exclusively about fast food. It’s as ridiculous as it sounds, but it makes for an incredibly fun show. With support from Alyson Anomaly (a project by Flummox frontwoman Alyson Blake Dellinger) and Clownvis (who will be described in detail later), the show was nothing if not memorable.
