about
Ominous from the opening acoustics emerging from dark waters into the grinding Sabbath-inspired guitar riff, "Metalhead" is a classic metal ear worm. Chris Gursky's powerful exhortations to "come on out and join us" were inspired by the role of heavy metal in inspiring Eastern Europe's youth yearning for freedom from the old Soviet Union. "Metalhead" also showcases a Nor'easter trademark; rather than the bass line simply supporting a guitar break, the two instruments harmonize on the main part of the solo section. "Hail the Cosmic Metalhead!"
Feel the noise, rock the schoolboys, hail the cosmic metalhead
Sing and shout, the beast is out, born the cosmic metalhead
Share your song with the free, raise fist across the nations,
dance and sing all metalheads ring, with guitar inspiration
the Beast returns, the country burns, with red hot metal madness
join the strife we'll save your life, join the march of the free world
Crank it out, we scream and shout, here's the cosmic metalhead
we march for peace, bring metal to the East, send the cosmic metalhead
Won't go to war with no Russian czar, heavy is our message,
black or white, howl all night, come on out to join us,
we rock for you the metalheads true, we've raised the giant warlord,
his metal head, boots of lead, the throng that march before him
Feel the Beast, the metallica feasts, rock on cosmic metalhead
in the heat we refuse defeat, hail the cosmic metalhead

Iron or steel, is his meal, increasing his power,
in the night he's glowing white he's trashing new wave fools before him, the crowd screams, the mirror gleams, the world is torn by thunder,
his metal head, boots of lead, the throng that march before him
Man your guns, the enemy runs, the ruler Cosmic Metalhead,
the king is here, the end draws near, hail the Cosmic Metalhead
hail the Cosmic Metalhead
