SILENZIUM: CHICKS IN SLUTTY OUTFITS COVERING METALLICA ON THE VIOLIN AND CELLO

I’d never heard of Silenzium before today, and there’s nothing I can really tell you about them that you won’t learn from the headline. In 1996, Apocalyptica did a full album of Metallica covers, and two years later, the writer/director Neil LaBute used those covers as the primary score his film Your Friends & Neighbors — so this idea is really nothing new. And I wish the Silenzium girls didn’t feel as though they had to dance to get people’s attention.

On the other hand: DANCING GIRLS PLAYING METALLICA!

And in case you’ve never heard it before, here’s some Apocalyptica cover Metallica. I gotta say, I think they sound way cooler than Silenzium — I’m not at all surprised that someone wanted to use this as a film score — with or without the gyrating.
