As you may recall, Jim Carrey is a Cannibal Corpse fan. And I guess he passed his love of death metal on genetically, ’cause about 18,000 of you have e-mailed us in the last twelve hours to tell us that his surprisingly cute daughter is knocked up by and marrying Alex Santana, the lead singer of a death metal band I’ve never heard of called Blood Money.
Of course, this isn’t really news per se, and now that I’ve written that opening paragraph, I find I really have nowhere to go with this. But like I said, a lot of you seemed to find it very exciting, so, uh, I hope I’ve satisfied in you in some way.

While in the studio recording their new album, The Concealers, the members of Daath decided to record a medley of classic death metal songs by Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel and Dying Fetus (see behind-the-scenes video above). Charmingly dubbed “Fecal Finger,” the track won’t actually appear on the band’s new album, so they decided to let us pass it on to you… for free!
Daath drummer Kevin Talley explained the genesis of the track to us via e-mail:
“Fecal Finger”… a beautiful name for a beautiful piece of music. One day we jammed some death metal songs and we jokingly said we should play them at a show… so we did. We chose the DYING FETUS song because I wrote and recorded it with them and many people never saw me play it live. Matt DeVries [Chimaira] and I used to jam that MORBID ANGEL riff a couple years ago so we brought that in since it is crushingly brutal. And you can’t jam a jam without Jim Carrey’s favorite death metal band CANNIBAL CORPSE. We recorded this freakin shit because kids these days need to recognize who influenced the newer bands they listen to. After hearing the originals for so many years, it’s weird hearing these songs with a newer style recording. But Sean Z’s vocals are fucking sick and Jonny Davy’s (Job for a Cowboy) guest vocals on the MORBID ANGEL part are amazing. This recording is finally growing on me and it’s actually my favorite thing to listen to right now.

Where we falter, you guys are always there to pick us up; MetalSucks Maniac Kevin reminded us of the deleted scene from Ace Ventura in which our hero crowd surfs at a Cannibal Corpse show and goes on stage to sing with the band. Apparently Jim Carrey was a huge CC fan and insisted upon their inclusion in the movie, but unfortunately only a snippet of “Hammer Smash Face” made the final cut as background music. Here’s the full, deleted scene.
