Lest anyone doubt that you can be both vegan and badass, one cruelty-free rocker has combined his passions for music recording and cooking to create one awesome YouTube channel. Vegan Black Metal Chef went from vegan to viral in no time, garnering a million views on his first video in a little over a week. The titular star outfits his kitchen with decor befitting the Dark Lord and demonstrates his cooking skills in armor and corpse paint. What's more, he demonstrates his recipe for pad thai musically, growling out cooking instructions against fiery guitar licks. 

Even non-vegans will appreciate VBMC's choice of demonic cutlery as he slices up tofu and veggies. It's cool to see a self-proclaimed ethical vegan getting pretty much unanimously positive attention for a hilarious video. Contrary to some opinions, vegans aren't so serious all of the time. Sometimes they like dressing up and sharing their eating habits in silly ways. Besides, that pad thai looks tasty (and spicy) enough to satisfy the devil himself. 

There's only one recipe video from VBMC so far, although he has set up a domain where you can read an essay on his reasons for veganism. There's also a small forum set up, and you can download the audio for the pad thai recipe if you're so inclined. The VBMC promises more info and further recipes in the future. Vegans, metalheads, and everyone else can check out the Chef's debut video here:
