Themed Meal - (Heavy?) Metal Fans please help

edited September 2015 in Help / Advice Forum
I've got a month to plan a sterotyped metal themed meal for 4 people. Think classic metal...if thats a thing? I dont mean to offend any fans of the genre the closest ive gotten is Brutal Legend but thats the feel im aiming for. Skulls!

Could do with being pointed to some bands for "ambiance" music and maybe some decoration ideas? So far i've found some skull adorned goblets to drink our beer out of.

Also welcome any ideas for themed food to serve, I have some ideas but more to choose from are never a bad thing.

Cost isnt much of an issue but time is, 3 weeks and 6 days till ive got to pull it off.

No ideas will be rejected for being too mad!

Edit: Just had an idea, anyone suggest some iconic album covers?

    Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell
    Doubles as a album cover and meal suggestion.

    Otherwise, you've got most of the imagery you need from Brutal Legends. It may have been a little patronizing but thematically I can't exactly fault them. Axes, lightning, chains... It's all fair game.

    Between you and me, Peggy, I smoked this Juul and it did UNTHINKABLE things to my mind and body...

    Actually, yes, hell yes, a THOUSAND TIME YES to Dethklok / Metalocapalypse. Forget Brutal Legends, these guys are METAL.

    Make a pizza and cut it like this:

    And anything you bake, dye it with black food colouring.

    I just ended up watching a surprising amount of that show. Will be taking some ideas from it!

    Good idea, might do mini ones as the "starter". Black food dye! Genius.

    Continue watching it, it only gets better. But they capture the "metal-ridiculousness" perfectly, IMHO. Damn it I love that show.

    Ronnie James Dio was supposed to be in Brütal Legend, but his part was replaced by Tim Curry, I believe. Might be worth it to incorporate his stuff into your theme, because he's definitely a giant in the realm of classic metal.

    And check out the associated album cover:

    He was also the man to take over vocals in Black Sabbath after Ozzy left. Some good stuff in there, but my favorite song of Dio-era Black Sabbath will always be Heaven & Hell:

    Might I suggest that the manner of cooking is just as important as black food coloring and pentagrams? I've always been fond of swedish metal..

    There's a youtube channel called 'Veganblackmetalchef' you might find inspiration from?

    Also, add maple syrup on stuff and refer to it as 'tree blood'.
