Doesn't sound too bad... I'm not sure if they have heard of Dethklok, but I'm pretty sure they are a "virtual" (def. "Existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name") band already...

virtual metal - do they mean a virtual band, like virtual reality? like in the freaking Sims game? no real musicians, just pixels?
