If there’s one thing that the world needs now, it’s metal music. That seems to have been the thought process of a young caped crusader who took to his front yard to bring his neighbours the gift of music.

In a video recently posted to YouTube, a young musician wearing little more than shorts, a cape, and a hat, is stood in his front yard, armed with a guitar and sign that reads ‘free metal’. We’re not sure how long he’d been at it, but when a passerby with a video camera stopped to listen and record the event, they managed to capture the musical superhero belting out the riffs to Metallica’s ‘Seek & Destroy’.

He may not be the hero we deserve, but he’s the hero we need. We do wonder if he copped any noise complaints from the neighbours from his neighbours, though.

Check out the video below.
