Killing in the Name of a Terrible Holy Lie

kottke.org July 23, 2025 By Jason Kottke

This is a great 5-minute mashup of several metal and metal-adjacent songs from artists like NIN, Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, KISS, Dio, Black Sabbath, and Soundgarden. Even if you don’t care for metal, I feel confident that you’ll enjoy this anyway — it’s a bop. Here’s the track list:

Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie
Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name
Dio - Holy Diver
Soundgarden - Outshined
Judas Priest - Hot Rockin’
KISS - All Hell’s Breakin’ Loose
Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone
Black Sabbath - Into the Void
Billy Squier - The Stroke
Judas Priest - You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’
Alice in Chains - Them Bones
Metallica - Sad But True

Although the video was posted a day or two before Ozzy Osbourne died, it feels like a fitting tribute to one of metal’s true pioneers. (via neatorama)
