Am I going to post about John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats every single time he does something even remotely metal? Yes, because The Mountain Goats are one of my favorite bands of all time and John Darnielle is very metal. The Mountain Goats recently performed "This Year" and "Sicilian Crest" on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, and you might've noticed Darnielle wearing an Inter Arma shirt. Considering he's a huge fan of the band and even wrote the press release for their new album Sulphur English, it's really not that surprising he'd rep the band on national television.
If you're looking for more The Mountain Goats-related metal reading, check out this video of Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan joining the band on stage to shred. Be sure to grab their new album In League With Dragons, and expect to see it mentioned on my year-end list as well.
