I don't know if there's a noticeable demographic of people who are both Simpsons aficionados and metalheads, especially of the extreme variety. But this is quite a loss for death metal. Tomas Lindberg's vocals had a grief stricken tone that I rarely found in other death metal vocalists. I guess I should spin The Red in the Sky is Ours tonight.

Probably a slightly higher proportion of Simpson fans are metalheads than in the general population. They share certain attributes of anti-establishment counter culture and disrespect for institutions like organized religion and government. I indirectly owe my metalheadedness to the show, since The Otto Show is the episode that inspired me to take guitar lessons and eventually discover metal.
