If you like metal and love kittens, you need to check out the band Cattera , who released their debut single “Hunger of the Beast” this Thursday. 01.
The group is led by vocalist Roope-Shakir – a kitten rescued from the streets of New York and adopted by Anna Mrzyglocki of the Fearless Records label. “I knew he had star power the minute he walked into the apartment. I heard his emotional meows and knew he needed to be the leader of a feline metal band,” said the cat's owner (via Louwire ).
All proceeds from the song will go to help the shelter responsible for rescuing Roope-Shakir: Whiskers-A-GoGo, a Brooklyn-based NGO that rescues cats from the streets and finds them homes. The track costs $1 and is available for purchase here .
“When you come from the streets, you have a lot to say and a lot of friends to help. Luckily, I have some connections in the industry to help me write some cat heavy metal and release it into the world,” the kitten explained on Instagram (via Loudwire ).
