With the Fourth of July this Thursday, I felt Madison Rising’s rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to be an appropriate song. I don’t really consider Madison Rising to be metal, but I’m willing to overlook it because their rendition of the national anthem is probably my favorite.

If you don’t know the lyrics to national anthem, consider it your civic homework.
