ABC's "Wife Swap" Ready To Throw Up The Heavy Metal Salute

slayer.jpgThe hard-rock gossip site Metal Sludge received a casting call from ABC's domestic-distress show Wife Swap:

Wife Swap is a family show on ABC primetime. The premise is simple: two moms from two very different families get the opportunity to swap lives (but not bedrooms - everyone has their own!) for a week to experience what it's like to live a different lifestyle - and to see what they can teach each other about their own lifestyle!

We want to feature a family of long time metal fans (Death, Black, Thrash, Speed-etc) in hopes of shattering any common misconceptions of what family life for Metal Heads might be like! We encourage all families, the bolder and more adventurous the better, with 2 parents at home and school aged children (6-17) to apply immediately. The family can belong to any aspect of the Metal community-as fans, promoter, band members-it really makes no difference, as long as the family is genuinely passionate about Metal. Maybe you know of a family or have a family yourself with made for TV personalities that you would be willing to recommend. I would greatly appreciate you forwarding my information on to any of your family members, friends, and associates who might be interested in sharing their lives with us for a week!

We can't help but wonder who the swappees for this metal family will be—will the metal-loving mom's destination be based on genre? Will she be sent to a house where no one's allowed to make any noise at all? Watch the producers think that a trade with a classical-loving family is "funny," only to find that everyone involved will spend a lot of time bonding over pentatonic scales.
