By day, Thomas Gurrath, 29, is a trainee teacher in politics, history and ethics at Hegel Gymnasium in the city's Vaihingen district. By night, he is Thomas "The Bloodbeast" Gurrath, frontman for the gory metal band DEBAUCHERY.

Now, he's been given an ultimatum: it's one or the other. According to daily Bild on Friday, education authorities have told Gurrath he will have to give up the teacher traineeship he began on January 1 unless he quits his band.

Clemens Homoth-Kuhs, spokesman for the regional education authorities, told the paper: "We have in the end agreed that Mr. Gurrath is now to stop his traineeship, but have told him that he can start again under certain conditions."
