Heavy metal monk in second album

Raven 07-23-2008

At first glance, Cesare Bonizzi looks like the archetypal Capuchin monk - round-faced, stout, with twinkling eyes and a long flowing white beard. But beneath his robes beats a heart of metal.

Brother Cesare is the lead singer in a heavy metal band which has just released its second album.

A former missionary in the Ivory Coast, he lives in a small friary in the Milan hinterland.

The 62-year-old monk’s love affair with heavy metal began when he attended a Metallica concert some 15 years ago.

I don't see anything wrong with this, it's nice to see someone willing to bridge the preconceptions of others, I myself end up hanging with metal heads more then anything even though I'm a punk and most punks and metal heads just don't get along
