Mac Sabbath is a Black Sabbath parody cover band that formed in early 2014 when they debuted a demo recording of “Children of the Grave” parody entitled “Chicken for the Slaves.” All of the members are musicians from the underground rock and metal scene in Los Angeles. Each of them plays a persona on stage and has maintained total anonymity behind their characters, all with intricate backstories. 

The members of Mac Sabbath are inspired by characters from McDonaldland; the fantasy world where McDonald’s creatures reside. They perform in elaborate costumes and the lineup is as follows: Ronald Osbourne (Ronald McDonald), guitarist Slayer MacCheeze (Mayor McCheese), bassist Grimalice (Grimace), and drummer the Catburglar (The Hamburglar), alternately known as “Peter Criss Cut Fries.”

Some notable examples of re-written and re-arranged covers they have produced are “Pair-a-Buns” (“Paranoid”), “Frying Pan” (“Iron Man”), “Sweet Beef” (“Sweet Leaf”), “Never Say Diet” (“Never Say Die”) and “Zipping Up the Uniform” (“Symptom of the Universe”.) Their overarching topic of fast food and the corporate food industry is comical and satirical, yet addresses the negative elements such as health effects as well. 

Mac Sabbath’s concerts are described as a “multimedia show with video, theatrics, audience participation, and sing-alongs”, featuring an array of food-related props which tie into their overall theme. They typically play nightclubs and underground venues, that fit their niche audience, yet their viral popularity has led them to grow their following greatly.
