is an Afrikaans extreme metal band formed in 2000 by ex-Springbok Nude Girls guitarist Theo Crous and ex-Voice of Destruction vocalist Francois Breytenbach Blom.

They performed as a duo until 2004 when they were joined by Rob Nel on bass and Paul André Blom on drums.

[1] Initially formed as an experimental Afrikaans-language project in 2000 by vocalist Francois Breytenbach Blom and guitarist Theo Crous, South African band K.O.B.U.S!

Straying from the respective styles of their previous bands, the album mix an array of moods, blending surreal comedy with dark ballads and Afrikaans rock psychedelia[2] on 12 tracks of electronica and electric guitar.

Tracks like "Witman", which describe frustrations from some white South African's perspective, "Kinderhel", a song about child abuse, and "Doodstraf", which calls for the implementation of the death penalty, deliver very unapologetic political commentaries and deal with decaying moral standards in society.

[3] Swaar Metaal won in the category for Best Afrikaans Rock Album at the 14th annual South African Music Awards in 2008.
