The World’s Most Metal Teacher
And guess what? He’s in danger of the sack!
Our old science teacher, let’s call him Mr Tarrant, once burnt himself with a bunsen burner just to prove a point. That was pretty fucking metal.
Even still, German trainee teacher Thomas Gurrath has made a serious claim to be the most metal teacher in the world as singer in the ‘gore metal’ band, Debauchery. They are said to feature “naked, blood-smeared women” in its live act. It probably goes down better in front of a couple of hundred gurning, horn-throwing metalheads than it does in front of little Jurgen during History.
Anyway, Gurrath has been given a choice between keeping his night-time activities of rocking out and hanging out with gore-splattered hotties or getting a tweed jacket with elbow pads and listening to whining kids all day.
Clemens Homoth-Kuhs, spokesman for the regional education authorities, told a German paper: “We have in the end agreed that Mr. Gurrath is now to stop his traineeship, but have told him that he can start again under certain conditions.”
Fucking killjoys, eh?

Decisions, decisions…..it’s a tough choice.
Fucking clahns. I’m sure the kids love him, I know everyone here would…
But then again, it just goes to show that liking metal is another part of personalities that some people don’t find acceptable.Sad face. =(
I bet the naked blood-smeared women in his act are smeared in theatrical blood. If he was a trainee Art teacher he would be fine but if he is a trainee Religions teacher in a Catholic school well……So much the fucking better!!
Saw Debauchery open for Destruction at the Underworld – one chord in, they blow the electrics!
Germans not being Metal. This sucks.
Another example of how metal as a culture or even an art form is shunned by popular society. Fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em all!
LONG LIVE THE METAL! \m/
I don’t necessarily think it’s because it’s a METAL band that they are booting him out, but because of the live act. They’re probably thinking that he is setting a bad example for the kids and influencing this kind of activity. I mean, the teacher is the kid’s go-to guy. If he does something, every kid in his class is going to believe it is right and appropriate.
That’s not to say playing metal is wrong, but I can see where they’re coming from. I’m sure they would have no problem if it was just a normal metal band and not one with blood and naked chicks in the live show.
This is ridiculous. At no point have they claimed, for example, that he is showing the kids videos of his band’s performance, or doing satanic rituals on the desk, or in fact doing anything other than two very different, very separate jobs. If he wants to teach, he should. There are too many crap teachers doing the same job simply because they aren’t qualified to do anything else.
If it was this country, we could claim it’s in his religion to play metal (once metal is recognised as a religion, next year)
One of the music teachers at my school was into metal. He had a huge Metallica tattoo on his arm, but he had to cover it up. His fave band was Meshuggah
Fuck the job, metal all the way
One of our teachers had metallica and machine posters on his wall and he got sacked but thats not that metal compared to this.
One of my teachers beats him! He was in an awesome band called Reculver & toured with loads of people inc Slash & Megadeth…BEAT THAT!!!
Really not going to help stop the nazi jokes, and I’m part German.
I planned and taught a lesson to year 7’s that was based entirely on Fear Factory’s track Securitron! In fact the lesson was part of a scheme of work I planned that also used the Rammstein moment from the intro to xxx; and other teachers had to teach it to their year 7 classes aswell!!!
I was worried that I would face some kind of comeuppance; but in fact people loved teaching it, and my year 7’s loved it (well, 2 of them anyway)
the vocalist from AGHAST! is an ENGLISH teacher too! UKDM
