This past Thursday Finland held the very first Heavy Metal Knitting Competition.
The Heavy Metal Knitting Competition is a competition where heavy metal bands and knitters work together to make a live performance that synchronizes both art forms in the best way possible.
Scores are judged based on attitude, skill, audience engagement, and by “Heavyknittinghood”. The entire competition is to give homage towards Finland of being the “promised land” of Heavy Metal.
Winner of this year’s competition was a band from Japan called Giga Body Metal.
People can sign up for the competition by downloading the song “Fight Or Die” by the metal band MANIAC ABDUCTOR and submit a video of yourself or another knitting to the song.
