So, something funny happened last night. See, every Monday night, some friends and I go to a local bar/restaurant to play trivia, and you can request the host to play a song if it's on Apple Music. Anyways, I requested the song "Black Funeral" by Mercyful Fate, and the host ended up playing it during a Bible-themed question! I'm so bad!
According to the most recent Twitter Takeover, Shadow the Hedgehog is a Swiftie.
Please enjoy this animatic I produced in one sitting.
We are never going to let Shadow live this down! 😂
Nah, Shadow would probably rather get sucked into a black hole than listen to any Taylor Swift song for even a millisecond. I think he's a real hardcore metalhead, preferring the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Vader, Mayhem or anything like that. However, he might like this Anvil remix of "Shake It Off".
OK, so I guess I have different ideas about what kind of heavy metal Shadow the Hedgehog likes compared to other people. I was talking with a friend of a friend today, and he said that edgelords would be more into more recent stuff such as AFI, Killswitch Engage or anything like that that could be found on Hot Topic shirts.
In contrast, my headcanon about Shadow has him liking NWOBHM, thrash metal, speed metal, death metal and black metal, which would mean bands like Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Metallica, Slayer, Anvil, Acid, Cannibal Corpse, Vader, Mayhem, Burzum and stuff like that. As a matter of fact, my headcanon also states that Shadow's favorite band is Iron Maiden, and I picture Human Shadow wearing an Iron Maiden shirt. I realize not everybody will agree with this, but that's how I see it.
Another Sonic headcanon: Cream secretly enjoys heavy metal. When she has an opportunity, she’ll try to find Shadow so she can hang out with him and headbang.
If there’s anything that Sonic & Shadow have in common, it’s that they both like rock music.
When it comes to subgenres, Sonic likes hard rock, glam rock, hair metal & power metal, while Shadow prefers NWOBHM, thrash metal, death metal & black metal.
I just thought I’d share this old headcanon I submitted to Hedgecanons. They haven’t been accepting submissions for at least five years, but they’re damn interesting to look at. Also, I think “The Number of the Beast” by Iron Maiden would be a great theme for Shadow.
