Here’s a Death Metal Song with Wild Boars on Vocals
Pig squeals have gone literal: one endeavoring death metal musician has released music with actual wild boars performing vocals.
Valentin the Mad, a guitarist and producer who lives in Haifa, Israel, decided to take advantage of the brutal noises made by the wild boars that roam the streets of his home city. So he recorded the instrumental parts of a full death metal song then hit the pavement with a shotgun mic in hand to get the most brutal pig squeals of all time.
“As far as I remember wild hogs were always present in the city, but in recent years there has been a massive increase,” Valentin explains. “In some neighborhoods seeing them became a daily occurrence. I borrowed my friend’s B tuned guitar and in the following weeks I was walking around town late evenings and nights with my camera and a handheld recorder, sampling and filming the local pigs. So yes, all the vocals you hear in the song are autotuned street hogs from my city.”
Auto-tune is decidedly un-brutal, but we’ll forgive him this trespass since it’s not as if the final product sounds like Cher or Phil Labonte. Listen below!
