“Are You a Dad? Has Creating Life Sucked the Life Out of You? Sounds Like You Need… DAD METAL!”

Update, 1/9/14, 10:30 AM: The music from this video is now available for free download.

Thus begins Spencer Riviera’s droll new video for Funny or Die, which purports to be an infomercial for an eight CD set featuring not what I think most metalheads would call “dad metal” as in “metal for boring old farts,” but actual metal songs geared towards the trials and tribulations of fathers (song titles include “We Will Be There When We Get There,” “Go Play Somewhere Else,” and “Because Timmy Sorenson’s Dad is a Drunk, That’s Why”). Honestly, even with the clip’s short running time, the joke gets old pretty fast (not least of all because there really is a metal band that sings about children picking up their socks). But San Francisco hardcore outfit Mohicans, who wrote and recorded all the music, have an ability to flawlessly mimic many different kinds of metal, which is most impressive. Watch:
