Artist Dubbed "Viral Metal Impressionist" Delivers "Self-Care Metal" Songs About His Cat
"I hug her, I squeeze her, I boop her little nose. I tell her that I love her; I wonder if she knows!"
What happens when you mix heavy metal music with comedy and a love of cats? Magic, that's what!
Just ask YouTuber Anthony Vincent. The musician has been described as a "viral metal impressionist," whose specialty is creating metal mashups out of non-metal songs.
But when Anthony wrote a song about his cat Pyretta, that's when he really found his niche! One fan even described his music as "kitty-core."
Anthony's song called "Cute Aggression" went viral, receiving millions of views on social media. When the song about being so in love with your cat that you just want to squish it was released, many of Anthony's fans submitted videos of their own adorable pets to be included in the music video.
After the video went viral, Anthony even released a line of "Cute Aggression" merchandise. Soon after, the talented musician released a video about what he calls "self-care metal."
In the song called "Rest Up," Anthony reminds his fans to stop, take a rest, and (most importantly) cuddle with their beloved cats. "Just relax, take a nap, squish your cat," he screams.
Of course, it wasn't long before Anthony released another song about his cat. This time, the song was called "My Cat Is An Alien."
Naturally, much like "Cute Aggression," after singing about his cat being an alien, Anthony is overwhelmed by the feline's cuteness. And, let's face it, who could blame him?

So, what do you think of Anthony's take on metal music? We think he's incredible, and we hope he continues making adorable cat songs for many more years to come. According to Sir Ken Robinson, an education expert, "Creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status."
