We recently checked in with Rob Scallon to watch him perform an original metal song using only notes played on one fret of the guitar. Now, Scallon has gone in the compete opposite direction, with a song that uses every fret. As he says, "Every fret. Every string. Chords don't count."

Check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments.

There's Christian metal, and then there's...well, whatever this is. YouTube user PyroVesten has posted one of the more awesomely weird videos we've seen lately, mashing up "When the Demons Feast" by Australia's Nocturnal Graves with footage of celebratory churchgoers.

Check out the clip below, which is something of a sequel to the equally awesome "Slayer Goes to Church," and let us know what you think in the comments.

Chicago-based guitarist Rob Scallon is, as we've shown in the past, the guy who covers Slayer and Cannibal Corpse songs with banjos and ukuleles. Here, Rob creates an original metal song by playing notes on only one fret of the guitar. As he says, it's just "the fourth fret and a LOT of bends."

Before Katy Perry was, well, Katy Perry, she was Christian singer Katy Hudson. And in 2006 she sang with Christian metallers P.O.D. on their song "Goodbye for Now," from their album 'Testify.'

"Goodbye for Now" was released as the first single from the album, and Perry appeared in the official music video. She also joined P.O.D. when they performed the song on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.'

After this video began making the rounds online, with several outlets identifying Perry as a backup singer, P.O.D. released a statement clarifying that she was much more:

"This is revisionist history and disrespectful to our girl Katy Perry who was NEVER a backup singer … We invited her to participate on our record as she was and is still is one of the few pop artists with strong musicianship roots … She paid her dues not as a backup singer but in a van going town to town. This is the problem with music journalism today … Shabby reporting. No research. No history."

Watch Perry and P.O.D. on 'The Tonight Show':

And here's the official video for "Goodbye for Now":

Eighteen-year-old Indian musician Rishabh Seen has uploaded footage of him playing Meshugah's "Bleed" on sitar. According to Seen, it is the fastest version of "Bleed" on the internet.

Seen said in an accompanying statement:

"To all the viewers, here are a few things I would like to mention about everything in this video, regarding which you might have some questions - This is the fastest version of 'Bleed' till now on the Internet (136 BPM)

"Firstly - I would like to give a special mention to my dear friend 'Josh Seguin' who is the guitarist for Mute the Saint and his band P.D.P as his own cover video of this song was the source of inspiration for me in which he played this song at 130 BPM. It was his playing and that pushed be to take it further to 136 BPM in this video.

"Secondly - The solo part was recorded live and no digital speed-ups were used for the whole song which is the reason why I missed a few strokes here and there.The sitar sounds a bit shabby because of 1 main reason - it has been forcefully tuned to D sharp where no sitar is tuned because of a standard scale length. I have kept it all real and taken it as far as I could take it.

"Thirdly - This cover is NOT at all to show off or like prove something, but just a sincere effort of putting something real which might be fun to watch and hear. This song became a part of my practice schedule so since I was able to push it, I wanted to give it a try. Love the original tempo's feel a lot, but here is just something which to me was an insane experience. Learnt a lot!

"Can't wait to share my band's original music as you read it!

"Thank you very much! - Rishabh Seen"
