These are a couple videos from Hormuz Island off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf, where heavy rainfall causes the iron ochre-rich soil and sand (the result of ancient volcanic activity) to ‘bleed’ into the sea. Mother Nature, am I right? “What about her?” Totally nuts. Now —

This is a video of guitarist Mat of Artificial Fear performing a heavy metal cover of the theme song from ‘Severance’. It’s a tasty jam (like strawberry balsamic or peach apricot).

This is a video of musician Andrea Boccarusso performing 25 menacing/evil sounding guitar riffs from songs. How evil were they? I got the goosebumps! And not just because I refuse to turn the heat on until October and it’s 52 degrees in here, but my girlfriend has like six sweatshirts
