In a twist of fate, he is forced to debut as a member of the satanic Death Metal band “Detroit Metal City” (DMC), whose trademark is an eccentric make-up and destructive performance. Despite the intention of becoming a pop celebrity, he makes a triumphant debut as the Death Metal vocalist and the story hilariously describes the array of his woes until he finally faces off against the legendary and world-renowned Death Metal vocalist “Jack IL Dark” on the stage!
