History Clips Only on Instagram: "Heavy metal church bells 🤘 A quiet Dutch church tower suddenly blasts out the unmistakable melody of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades.” Inside the bell chamber, a carillonneur sits at the wooden keyboard, striking the batons with fists and feet while the heavy bronze bells thunder across the town square. Shoppers and pedestrians look up in confusion as the legendary rock riff echoes through the streets, turning a normal afternoon into a surreal live performance ringing from the sky. Carillons are traditional church bell instruments found across the Netherlands and Belgium, usually used for classical music or hymns. Modern players, however, sometimes surprise audiences by adapting famous songs for the bells. Hearing a heavy metal anthem like “Ace of Spades” played on centuries-old church bells creates a bizarre but unforgettable mix of sacred tradition and rebellious rock energy." 321K likes, 3,787 comments - historyclipsonly on March 13, 2026: "Heavy metal church bells 🤘 A quiet Dutch church tower suddenly blasts out the unmistakable melody of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades.” Inside the bell chamber, a carillonneur sits at the wooden keyboard, striking the batons with fists and feet while the heavy bronze bells thunder across the town square.
