Brother Cesare, a 62 year old monk from Milan hinterland, has a heart of metal and is the lead singer in a heavy metal band. The monk fell in love with metal some 15 years ago when he attended a Metallica concert. Brother Cesare, also known as Brother Metal, started playing and recording cassettes, firstly with “lighter” metal
music, but gradually he realised that what really moved him was the
hard core.

“Five minutes after meeting Brother Cesare I decided to go ahead,
because he manages to convey so much energy, that other musicians and
youngsters often don’t manage to express,” lead guitarist, Cesare
Zanotti, told Reuters.

Brother Metal recently appeared in the Gods of Metal festival in Italy,
along with giants such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer, playing
to a crowd of leather-clad hard-core metal fans.
Brother Metal always wears his tradition brown robe and sandals.

Recently, Brother Metal has released his second album called ‘Misteri’ (Mysteries). The songs lyrics deal with real world issues like alcohol, drugs and about religion.
