"Drive Thru Metal" masters Mac Sabbath have built a devoted cult following since their formation in 2014, thanks to their bizarre and hilarious spin on the iconic songs of metal legends Black Sabbath.

Frontman Ronald Osbourne, decked out as a twisted version of the beloved burger-slinging clown, leads the charge with fast food-themed renditions of classic metal hits. Audiences can’t get enough of the band's sharp humor and genuine musical talent.

Mac Sabbath is more than just a fast-food-themed spectacle—they seriously rock, delivering thunderous parodies like "Pair-a-Buns" (Paranoid), "Sweet Beef" (Sweet Leaf), and "Frying Pan" (Iron Man). For fans craving a delightfully deranged take on metal, Mac Sabbath serves up a feast of wild performances and heavy-hitting sound.
Fan reviews:

The kings of drive-thru metal! What can I say!? Ronald Osborne and Grimalice, Slayer McCheese, and Catburgler nailed it! They play Black Sabbath music with lyrics about fast food! All while chugging ketchup and mustard, and grilling meat! This was a really fun and entertaining show! I am definitely a big fan now! Drive-Thru Metal rules!

Wacky time! This concert was unironically and quite literally my absolute favorite concerts I have ever been to. I go to a lot of concerts and Mac Sabbath was good not only with the music but with their stage presence and overall vibe. I was laughing and smiling from start to finish and would not shut up about this band after seeing them. 10/10 would recommend if you want a silly goofy and overall good time from a concert.

The band was absolutely amazing! Huge energy from every single member, very talented musicians. I would absolutely see them again! The venue was amazing for this show, the literal pit area in the front was the best!

Exceeded my expectations. It was such a great experience and really fun. The crowd was a bit too tame for how good the band was. From costume design to Ronald Osborne being a crazy lovable character.

Incredible! So interactive, so talented, so awesome, I was lucky and got to be right in the front and the band members were really engaged with the audience. This was hands down my favorite show I have ever been to! Definitely won’t be my last time seeing them!

Fast food parody rock. 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.
