Somebody drop a satellite-guided bomb on my head. I’m not sure if I can take another note of Max Impact, the Air Force’s official nu metal band. Or their press releases, which were clearly written by a member of The Onion’s editorial staff. Read this announcement for the song “Locked and Loaded” — and pray for steel on target:

With powerful and dynamic lyrics, each stanza of “Locked and Loaded” is meant to exhibit the complete synergy of each imperative component of the fight. For instance, lyrics for the combat control Airmen who are calling in the drop says:

“Walk in the shade of the clouds at night,”

“Crawling in the dirt, calling an A-10 strike,”

“Dancing in the shadows, lives are on the line,”

“Bombs are gonna fall, just in time.”

…In an interview with the music Composer TSgt Matthew Geist, also the band guitarist said, “..[O]n the tour… they were most impressed that it was an original song by our band.”The lead singer for “Locked and Loaded” MSgt Ryan Carson, whose favorite phrase at the beginning of each concert is, “We’re going to rock your face off!” started out as an Opera Major at the University of Wyoming when the Air Force picked him up. Carson wanted to help the Airmen focus on why you do what you do for the Air Force.In addition to raising the moral [sic] of deployed Airmen, Max Impact conducted some unique concerts to connect with many of the local citizens by performing at the School for the Deaf, where by vibrations the student’s clapped hands and feet to the rhythm, as well as scream out the lyrics to each song.

By the way, Max Impact is one of seven official Air Force musical ensembles. And that doesn’t count “Tops in Blue,” the service’s singin’, swingin’, family-friendly, Vegas-style review.
