Volsung = Metallica @ SXSW?

Volsung

“In Norse mythology, Völsung was murdered by the Geatish king Siggeir and avenged by one of his sons, Sigmund and his daughter Signy who was married to Siggeir. Völsung was the common ancestor of the ill-fortuned clan of the Volsungs, including the greatest of Norse heroes, Sigurd. Their legend is known in Norse myth through Volsungasaga and Dráp Niflunga and in Old German through the Nibelungenlied.

In the English epic Beowulf, when the Geatish warrior Beowulf has killed Grendel, a Danish bard at Hrothgar’s court sings about Sigmund and his father Waels.” [Wikipedia]

The above picture is a screenshot of SXSW’s recently updated Stubb’s schedule. Friday is now the “Guitar Hero Metallica” showcase and “Volsung” from “Somewhere, Norway” is playing at 10:30 pm.

PREVIOUSLY: Metallica playing SXSW??

P.S. Katy Perry has vanished from the Stubb’s schedule, thus removing the (not)awesomeness that was Katy playing back to back with the Meat Puppets.
