Fans of death metal and iconic ’90s sitcom Seinfeld are in for a treat, with a new band combining the two in the heaviest way possible.

Ever since Seinfeld first premiered close to 30 years ago, it has continuously made a notable impact on pop culture. While popular jokes and phrases are repeated daily by its legions of fans, the show has even managed to impact the world of music as well.

Now, a group of death metal musicians have come together to pay homage to the show about nothing.

Consisting of current and former members of Wretched, Alterbeast, The Kennedy Veil, and Rivers Of Nihil, Grindfield manages to combine Seinfeld jokes with some brutal music in a way that fans likely would not have thought possible.

“Born out of a mutual love of Death Metal, comical observations, coffee and Hardcore, Grindfeld is a project built on the existential dread hidden just under the surface of daily life,” the band explained in a statement.

“For fans of: Death Metal, Coffee, Pirate Shirts, Hardcore, Grindcore, Wasting your life pouring over minutia of every single daily event, stand up comedy,” they continued. “Not for fans of: Kenny Bania, Nazis.”

So far, the band have released one track from their upcoming EP, 5 Songs About Nothing, and it’s both based on and named after Seinfeld’s infamous 1992 episode, ‘The Contest’.

With lyrics that recap the events of the famous episode, some of the show’s iconic scenes are retold with a bleak nihilism that is clearly rather tongue in cheek. Check out some of the lyrics below:

Sleepless nights. Desire consuming.

Driven insane by a stupid game.

Honor the code, Master of my domain.

The queen is dead.

Grindfeld’s 5 Songs About Nothing is available for pre-order over on the band’s Bandcamp page, ahead of its November 23rd release.

When the EP finally drops, you can expect to hear songs that cover classic episodes like ‘The Bizarro Jerry’, ‘The Letter’, ‘The Limousine’, and of course, ‘The Soup Nazi’.
