The wildly talented Anthony Vincent is back with another edition of Ten Second Songs, and this time he's applied 20 different styles of music-making to Metallica's Black Album monster hit "Enter Sandman." Shot screen-in-screen with Vincent performing multiple instruments or singing backing vocals , the clip showcases the musician's insane range as he adopts the stylings of everyone from 1980s synth-pop duo Eurythmics to modern-day hip-hop star Lil Uzi Vert in one fell swoop. Vincent's vocal abilities take center stage, but his arrangement skills and ability to mimic nearly any style available with impeccable accuracy is scarily impressive. He even breaks out the bridge in the style of the Weather Girls only to switch it up with a perfect Bossa Nova beat a few seconds later, showing his uncanny ability to process and recreate songs with imaginative flair.
Vincent explains the driving force behind his decision to continue this project in a statement saying, "I want to start showcasing more metal and rock songs in non-metal styles to show non-metal listeners that metal and rock songs are just as good if not better than what they listen to." Fucking with tough-sell metalheads is fun enough, but he follows up, "Or I just want to hear bad things sung in nice ways. OK, a little bit of both."
