Orthodox priest drops dubstep banger, church has a existential crisis
A Greek Orthodox priest with a long white beard wearing traditional black monastic robes and glasses holds an electric guitar while seated. The image accompanies a Guardian article about Father Tabakis, a monk who created a controversial religious dubstep/metal album called 'Paradise Metal' despite his church's opposition to electric instruments. The juxtaposition of traditional religious attire with modern electronic music equipment creates an absurdist contrast.
