With all our social media we have seen a shitload of Facebook and Instagram photos, and something has become clear to us at CVLT Nation: people loooove their cats. I mean, I have seen many, many cat photos, status updates about cats and cat video clips amongst our thousands of friends. Before becoming a part of this network, I didn’t realize how many people in metal were into cats; now I realize that the Metaldudes Cats Book is a welcome and apt addition to a community of heavy pets. Photographer and animal lover Alexandra Crockett has set out to photograph some of our favorite musicians with their cats, and she has put together a pretty amazing roster, including portraits of Isis, Xasthur, Atriarch, Black Goat, Book of Black Earth, Harassor, Lord Time, Skeletonwitch, King Dude, Morbid Angel, Anhedonist, Thrones, Lightning Swords of Death, Municipal Waste, Holy Grail, Nausea, Exhumed, Phobia, Murder Construct, Cattle Decapitation, and Gypsyhawk, just to name a few. Plus, once the books are published and on the shelf, 40% of the proceeds will be donated to no-kill cat shelters all over the West Coast, including Seattle, Portland, Oakland, and Los Angeles. There will also be two upcoming Metaldudes Cats Book benefit shows in Portland on March 1st and Seattle on March 9th, details after the jump. Tom Denney designed a tee for the project and you can pick that up here! Also, check out some of Alexandra Crockett’s awesome portraits for the Metaldudes Cats Book after the jump!
