Icelandic commentator Guðmundur Benediktsson has been one of the key figures at this year's European championships.
Not for his astute observations or magnetic repartee, but for the widespread clip of his incomprehensible sounds of glee as Iceland defeated Austria to progress through the tournament in their first ever appearance.
Vimeo user Laughbanging has set the shrieking commentary to a disdended black metal backdrop - it fits surprisingly well and perhaps Benediktsson, a former footballer, can make a career switch if he fancies a change of scenery.
Listen to the black metal version below, and watch the original clip after.
