As part of our ongoing project to catalog the 2012 presidential election from a metal point of view, we've been soliciting presidential endorsements from noteworthy American metal musicians. Today: UZALA.

Portland-based doom masters UZALA, through vocalist Chad Remains, refused to make a presidential endorsement — and chose instead to suppor the crowning of a strong and mighty king. If this doesn't shake up the race, I don't know what will:

UZALA wholeheartedly endorses Arnold Schwarzenegger as CONAN THE BARBARIAN for USURPER and KING. Vote now or be crucified upon the Tree of Woe.
