"Drive Thru Metal" masters Mac Sabbath have quickly earned a cult following since forming in 2014 thanks to their surreal and hilarious take on the legendary songs of metal greats Black Sabbath.

Dressed like a horror movie version of everyone's favorite cheeseburger-hawking clown, frontman Ronald Osbourne leads the band through fast food-themed versions of metal classics, and ticket buyers never fail to eat it up thanks to the band's witty humor and no-joke skills.

The group is much more than just a Golden Arches-inspired stage show, they can seriously rock, matching the thunderous sound of Black Sabbath classics like "Paranoid", "Sweet Leaf", and "Iron Man" with their parodies "Pair-a-Buns", "Sweet Beef", and "Frying Pan". For audiences looking to sink their teeth into a deliciously demented take on metal, Mac Sabbath satisfies the craving with their wild performances and headbanging sound.
Fan reviews:

One of the best concerts I've attended this year!

The show was awesome, the openers were both extremely silly and enjoyable as well as very fitting to mac sabbath. Mac Sabbath was a great show, grimace and the hamburglar absolutely shredded and it was awesome!

Concert was an absolute blast! Cybertronic spree was an absolute blast of nostalgia for me as someone who grew up with the transformers. Mac sabbath was also boatloads of fun. They played an amazing show with some of the best theatrics I’ve seen. Would definitely see again!

As close as the real Sabbath as you can get. Musically. Fun as hell to watch. Hope to see them again.

CinnaBon Jovi lovers watch out! This Drive-thru Rock group will make your ears gladly bleed! Your ear drums get a flavorful taste of junk food Rock you didn’t know existed. Made me so hungry that I wore my Mac Sabbath hoodie to McDonald’s and ordered “More Ribs” (War Pigs parody). Go see the show! You will never regret it.
