Heavy metal monk's second album
Capuchin monk (that's the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, not the Capuchin monkey) Cesare Bonizzi, of a monastery near Milan, Italy, is actually the lead singer in a heavy metal band and has just released his second album, Misteri. "Brother Metal" says he thinks he could possibly turn the Pope on to his sound, just like he thrilled the crowd at the recent "Gods of Metal" festival (on the bill with Iron Maiden and, er, Judas Priest).
