Ganja and Gore: The Legacy of Cannabis Corpse

Welcome to FYB’s Latest Music Post where We Answer the Question “What Do You Get when You Mix Legendary Death Metal Band Cannibal Corpse,  Cheech & Chong, Love of Horror Movies, and Low Brow Humor? The Answer is CANNABIS CORPSE!!! The Band’s Name is a Parody of the Aforementioned Death Metal Pioneers Cannibal Corpse, But Don’t be Mistaken  Cannabis Corpse plays 100% Original Songs. Along with Band’s Name Cannabis Corpse’s Album/Song Titles are also Parodies of Many Other Assorted Death Metal Band’s Album/Song Titles. The Band has Featured or Currently Features Members of the Bands GWAR, Six Feet Under, Municipal Waste, Antietam 1862, and The Black Dalia Murders.

The Name Cannabis Corpse was Coined in 1999 by Brothers Phillip “Landphil” and Josh “Hallhammer” Hall. It Wasn’t Until 2006 when the Hall Brothers Recorded a Demo along with Any “Weedgrinder” Horn that Cannabis Corpse became a Reality. Cannabis Corpse’s Demo would go on to Eventually become Their Debut Album Blunted at Birth. Soon after Their Demo Release Cannabis Corpse was signed as the First Band to Forcefield Records. It Helped that The Founders of Forcefield where Personal Friends of the Band, and are also Based in Richmond, Virginia.

                    

Cannabis Corpse on Cannabis Corpse:

“Cannabis corpse is a band that was born in the summer of 2006 as a way to express our love of smoking weed and listening to Cannibal Corpse. The tunes were recorded in Weedgrinders kitchen on a boss br 900 digital 8-track while slowly smoking away huge chunks of memory with the finest bud in oregon hill.We did it in the hopes of creating a band that got you stoned with a sick oldschool death metal sound alone! We can promise you that every growl, every guitar riff, and every drum beat was done when we were completely obliterated on sweet sweet chiba. We want people to spark up a doober and follow along with the lyrics so you can be transported into a horrific world where you are not safe from getting your weed stolen by bloodthirsty zombies or getting captured by an ancient cult that cultivates demonic weed with the blood and body parts of sacred ritual sacrifice!Your brain will be melted by this non stop audio assault!Enter into the chambers of bud!” -Cannabis Corpse-

FYB Musical Monday Part 2: The Oderus Urungus Interviews

Gwar became known/is known for Their Legendary Raucous Live Show’s Full of Beheadings, Buckets of Blood, Gruesome Props, Disembowelment, Over the Top Theatrics, Insane Characters, Executions, and Gore Galore all set to Kick Ass Songs. There is no Doubt Gwar had taken Performance Art to a Whole New fucking Level the likes Humanity has Never Known.

Gwar also garnered a Great Deal of Additional Attention from Their, No Holds Barred, Politically Incorrect, Obscene, Overly Sarcastic, Ridiculously  Loud, Extremely Enthusiastic, Out Spoken, Foul Mouthed Front Man Oderus Urungus (Who’s Real Name was Dave Brockie who Tragically Died in 2014 of a Drug Overdose. Also Brockie originally was the Gwar’s Guitarist from 1984-1986 before jumping behind the Mic as Lead Singer from 1986-2014).

            

Oderus served not only as Lead Singer but did Double Duty as the Main Mouth Piece for Gwar doing a Great Majority of Interviews and Press. Oderus was the Face of Gwar and what a Face it Was. Brockie was not only a Talented Musician and  Iconic Spokes Person He was a Master of Improv constantly thinking on His Feet No Matter Where No Matter When. Oderus could wax Poetically and Absurdly about Anything and with a rather Manic Mind Set could/would jump from Subject to Subject at Will or Whim. ‘s Oderus’s Interviews took on a Life of Their Own and became almost as Notorious as Gwar’s Live Shows (granted though with a Great Deal Less Blood and Gore).

We have Featured a Good bit of Gwar here at FYB over the Years from Official Music Video’s to Concerts to Movies to even Oderus’s rendition of the Classic Children’s Book Good Night Moon. So the Next move obviously was to Track Down a Couple of Our Favorite Oderus Interviews and Showcase Them Here. Enjoy

Hope You Enjoyed the Absurd Insanity of these Interviews as Much as We Did.

FYB Presents: Gwar’s Skulhedface

So What The Hell is Skulheadface Exactly?!

Well Skulheadface, a Formerly a Beautiful Queen of a Peaceful, Vegetarian Planet, who was TRANSFORMED into a FOUL CREATURE during a Raid on Her Planet by Gwar’s Nemesis The Sinister Cardinal Syn. Skulhedface then travels to Earth, where She is instructed to collect a sufficient amount of Jizmoglobin which is a BLUE BODILY FLUID that is responsible for the Creativity, Rebellion, and Decadence of All Creature.

Meanwhile Gwar is Hosting a Telethon on Their Pirate Television Station SLAVE PIT TV. The Grisly Goal of the Telethon: Offer enough HUMAN SACRIFICES to UniteThem with The WORLD MAGGOT, which lies Dormant in the Earth’s Molten Core. Gwar are having a great deal of success, which get the Attention of GlomCo, An Evil Media Conglomerate.

GlomCo’s CEO Boss Glom summons Gwar’s Loyal Manager Sleazy P. Martini, in the Hopes that Sleazy will Sell Gear Out,Reduce Gwar to Generic Commodities, and Ultimately KILL GWAR to Prevent Any Interference. Sleazy repeatedly Refuses, that is Until He is Offered More Money than He has Ever Seen in His Miserable Life. At this Point, Gwar Smashes Through the Ceiling, and Boss Glom immediately Summons His ARMED GUARDS. Gwar non the less makes Short Work of the Guards and the Other Board Members too boot, But Boss Glom Escapes utilizing His Private Elevator. After the SLAUGHTER Slave Pit TV is Broadcast to the General Public, since Gwar had taken over The Equipment as well as the Evil Corporation.

           

On the Way to a SECRET LABORATORY, Boss Glom reveals He is Actually SKULHEDFACE! In Skulheadface’s Laboratory her Assistant Flopsy assists Her over to a Large Jizmoglobin Extraction Device. Rocker SEBASTIAN BACH is placed into the Dastardly Device, His Jizmoglobin is Removed, and Bach Emerges a Business Man Type with Absolutely NO PERSONALITY. Skulheadface starts Drinking the Jizmoglobin when a Transmission from Cardinal Syn comes in. Cardinal Syn announces He will “Be Arriving in the Next Movie” (which to His credit He does) to Collect Jizmoglobin and Subjugate Earth (Which He attempts to Do, only to Fail).

           

Meanwhile, The Telethon is still going Well, and Gwar Celebrates Their Imminent Departure from the Planet Via The World Maggot. Beefcake The Mighty, however Spots Flopsy, Who has come to Lure Him into a Trap. Skulheadface removes Beefcake’s Face, and dons it Herself, and Tells Gwar there are Midgets in the Basement with which Gwar could indulge Their Excessive Sexual Appetite one Last Time before Leaving the Planet. When Gwar reach the Basement, They discover Beefcake, who is Tied Up and Faceless. Flopsy in the End returns Beefcake’s Face to Him only to Be VIOLENTLY MURDERED By Him.

   

Skulhedface Reveals Her GREATEST WEAPON- The FLESH COLUMN, which is Composed of the FOULEST OF HUMAN BODY PARTS. The Combined efforts of Gwar aren’t Enough and They are Subjected to The Jizmoglobin Extraction Device which Overloads with Gwar’s Combined Jizmoglobin. Skulhedface is reverted back to Her Old Self, and Gwar are Transformed back into Infants. With Her Benevolence Restored Skulhedface returns Gwar’s Jizmoglobin to Them, and Life Returns to Normal. That is Until The Entire Band Fuck Skulhedface to DEATH, and Them Promptly return to The World Maggot. As Gwar reach the Earth’s Surface, They See The World Maggot Flying Off into the Depths of Space without Them. Sleazy tries His best to Console Gwar and Concludes the Broadcast Day.

Hope You Enjoyed This Gore Filled Gwar Film as Much as We did.
