Who doesn’t love a zombie<\/a> apocalypse? Presuming you’re not actually living through one (hi, 2028!), there’s always been something fascinating for metalheads in the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Put it down to non-conformity (which, as Romero taught us all the way back in 1978, is basically what zombies represent – the ultimate conformity) or just a healthy appetite for splatter, but from Braindead to Dawn Of The Dead, 28 Days Later to Zombieland, there’s a definite fascination with the idea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the past we’ve discussed which albums we’d listen to during a zombie apocalypse<\/a>, but when Hammer went to Bloodstock<\/a> Festival in the UK last week – a festival with its own share of zombie-themed acts over the years from Wednesday 13 (I Walked With A Zombie?) to Static-X (Zombie, duh) – we figured we’d ask some of the metalheads in attendance which singers they thought might be able to survive a zombie apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Trivium’s Corey Beaulieu drops a corker of an early suggestion – Ted Nugent (“cause he’s got loads of guns, bows and arrows and stuff”), while Static-X’s Tony Campos suggests Cannibal Corpse’s George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher as “no zombie’s chewing through that neck”.<\/p>\n

But there’s a bunch of other suggestions besides, and we’d love to know – which metal singers do you think would survive a zombie apocalypse? And more importantly, why?<\/p>\n
