Damien Storm: oddest vocalist in metal?

Seen someone call him the Tommy Wiseau of metal, a lot of comparisons to Mickey Mouse (I think he sounds more like Mr Hanky from South Park), people seem to mostly know him from an association with Phil Anselmo.

Most people seem to think he's an awful singer but I find it oddly compelling, certainly more interesting than most extreme metal singers. I liked this live version a bit more than the studio one but his voice isn't coming through as clear.

Something about him is like an old internet cult figure

Never heard of this guy before. Fascinatingly weird.

A couple of people said he was dead but I can't confirm.

There's no such thing as "so bad it's good."

Is he even bad though? I quite like it but don't love it.

I don't like it at all. And the worst part is, while waiting a full minute for the vocals on "Raven in the Courtyard," I realized that his band can't play, either. The whole instrumental intro was like a series of mistakes that no one told them to cut or re-do.
