Greta Thunberg UN speech remixed as Swedish death metal in viral video

Greta Thunberg's speech at the UN Climate Action Summit was pretty hardcore, and a video that went viral over the weekend has since given it a fitting soundtrack.

Her words reminded the drummer John Meredith of some of his favorite death-metal music. So he added original music and growling vocals to Thunberg's speech. The resulting video went viral.

"I was very impressed by her passion and outrage," Meredith, who calls himself John Mollusk online and performs in a band called Suaka, told Rolling Stone. "And the words she chose just evoked the darkness of the metal music I love: Entombed, Gojira, At the Gates, Sepultura."

Meredith improvised some death-metal instrumentals to accompany Thunberg's speech, according to Rolling Stone. Since her voice didn't sound "metal enough," he sang along in his own growl.

The resulting video, which Meredith posted on YouTube on September 25, has been viewed over 3.1 million times.
