A co-worker of mine tipped me off to this amazing album of HEAVY METAL COVERS OF SONGS FROM STUDIO GHIBLI FILMS! According to the description on the YouTube video (above):

“The project called “Imaginary Flying Machines” (from the title of a short film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which is exclusively shown daily at the Ghibli Museum) puts together bands from Europe and Japan (Disarmonia Mundi, Blood Stain Child, Destrage, Living Corpse and Neroargento).”

My favorite track off the compilation is the Totoro theme song “Tonari No Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro).”
