It turns out you don’t need instruments to rip out a mean tune.
El Hombre Death Metal, Spanish for ‘The Death Metal Man’, is going viral on TikTok for his insane ability to beatbox heavy rock and metal.
Somehow, this shirtless dude can replicate not just intricate guitar solos and riffs, but also the sound of bass drums, hi-hats and snares, just with his mouth.
His rendition of Slipknot’s ‘Psychosocial’ has been viewed 11 million times and has racked up over 1 million likes. Seriously, just watch it and try to keep your socks from being blown off.
A few commenters are pointing out that he needs to learn some breathing techniques to stop him from having to gasp for air now and then, but the bloke seems to be ignoring them, as he should.
The rest of the commenters are just freaking out at what they witnessed.
“How do the drums so sound real bro?” asked one person.
“Bro, how the hell do I hear guitar??” wrote another.
“This is honestly kinda hard to believe,” a third added. “I wanna think it's real but at the same time, it seems impossible.”
“As someone who's followed beatbox for 12+ years, this is probably the best metal beatbox I've heard,” one more said.
He’s also got a viral cover of Black Sabbath’s ‘Children Of The Grave’ and it is equally as mind-blowing.
We might have to get this dude and the Morning Rumble’s Mel in a room together because she showed off her beatboxing chops last year. She had a go at recreating the beatboxer in an old iconic NZ Warriors and she nailed it.
Do we reckon Korn frontman Jonothan Davis has been in touch with El Hombre? Surely he should jump on stage for the next live breakdown of 'Freak on a Leash'.
