The metal titans were guests at the AT&T park in San Francisco to watch the MLB game between the San Francisco Giants and the LA Dodgers, according to Antiquiet, and performed a heavy rendition of the US national anthem for the crowd. Their version of the song did not feature any lyrics – in January 2012, a US senator submitted a bill calling for artists who alter the lyrics of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ to be fined if they changed the words.
