What the fuck??

GRINDCORE WITH A DOG ON VOCALS. NO, SERIOUSLY.

CaninusJust when you thought grindcore vocals had reached their ultimate heights of ridiculousness, along comes Brooklyn’s Caninus to one-up the game by putting a dog — scratch that, TWO pitbull terriers — behind the mic. From their MySpace page bio:

The majority grindcore and fatal metal strips (orchestras) have the singers, trying to sound similarly to the broken (upset) deranged animals anyhow so they have decided to use a real thing. Vocals are executed by two pit bull terriers. Both were rescued days before euthanization from refuges. Caninus – all strict vegans. It has come time really to allow the animals to have their say.

The “band members” section credits Bludgie and Basil with vocals. Word is that the band accepts payment in dog biscuit form only. I wouldn’t want to fuck with that, ’cause those dogs look fierce, yo.

    Just for those guys, tonight I’m going to put on my leather jacket and grill a big peice of veal and throw it away without even eating it.

    have heard them long ago. you listen once or twice, and then it loses its fun. it’s just bad music with a joke, really.

    you guys might want to check Hatebeak also. [yeah, you can probably guess who's the singer]

    This reminds me of Hatebeak, a band that had a parrot on vocals, and it learned how to do a really deep gutteral sound because it imitated water going down a plughole.

    And, looking at their tracks, this Caninus did a split CD with them XD

    Out of curiosity, HOW THE FUCK DO THESE SONGS HAVE LYRICS!?

    So this is like the dogs barking Jingle Bells like my friend used to have on his answering machine put to Grindcore? Oh fuck yeah where do I get me some of that…on second thought I think I’m gonna go fire my dogs up to some metalcore. The beagle can do the clean vocals and the rottweiler can do the growls.

    hey, at least they are having fun. metalheads that take themselves too seriously are boring.

    You guys know this is Most Precious Blood, right?

    It started as a bonus track on one of the MPB records. They recorded a song, and had their dogs growl over the track.

    Gimmicky and stupid, but funny the first two or three times.

    And MPB kill it.

    Not too hard to pull off, my buddy’s dog, Master Shake did vocals for a song I recorded awhile back.

    I bought that dogs barking Christmas carols for my ex. I found it in a bargain bin. You hear it once and then you don’t have to ever hear it again. At least I can give Weird Al a second listen.
