Ever since this seemingly unending Global Pandemic and Nation-wide Stay-at-Home/Shelter-In-Place orders started nearly a year and some change ago (wow!) Jordan Olds, otherwise known as Gwarsenio Hall, and Drew "Hollywood" Kaufman and their rotating cast of characters at Two Minutes to Late Night have been releasing Heavy Metal-leaning Quarantine covers. Generally, uploaded to YouTube on a weekly basis, largely done for free, and directly supported by fans on Patreon , Two Minutes to Late Night (or 2M2LN) have successfully covered everyone from Anthrax to Steely Dan. 2M2LN's ripping and roaring often feature Gwarsenio Hall on co-lead vocals, along with a long list of backing musicians, who have previosuly spent time playing with Mutoid Man, Thou, Baroness, Clutch, Sleigh Bells, Slipknot, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Rise Against, PUP, and much, much more.

It was all orchestrated from self-quarantine by Two Minutes to Late Night 's own Jordan Olds AKA Gwarsenio Hall/Doctor Mayor and Drew "Hollywood" Kaufman AKA Diet Hellboy .
