OK, this is it folks, I promise. We’ve already unearthed death metal / grindcore bands with dog (Caninus) and parrot (Hatebeak) vocalists, but this one, posted by MetalSucks commenter Emily, has GOT to win the award for stupidest shit we’ve ever posted. The band, appropriately named Bovinus, actually has a cow on vocals.
