Feline thrash metal legends Meowgadeath will hit the road this winter to support their new album, Obligate Carnivores, and cats are desperately trying to get their paws on tickets.
The quartet will headline Felifest, the annual heavy metal festival that features the gnarliest bands, the most radical shredding and the most extreme subgenres including zoomcore, doom-napping and predatorial purring.
Cat Sabbath and Deft Leopards are the sub-headliners and lead an all-star lineup that includes symphonic thrash rockers Claws of Death, pop-metal posers Puns and Poses, progressive Vikingcore standouts Ragnar and the Berserkers, and grunge-metal pioneers Purrvana. The latest rumors suggest littercore legends The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza will join the festival lineup as well, fueling significant interest.

Meowgadeath has already enjoyed significant airplay from the new record, with the singles “Lounge to War” and “Overlords of the Apes” both reaching the Scratchboard top 10 in the US, Europe and Asia.
“Felifest 2024 promises to be the most righteous, most tubular, most hardcore gathering of up-to-eleven discordant noise since cat sex was invented,” wrote Modal Meow critic Mr. Snuggles Razorclaw. “Not since Fuzzy Fuzzbourne ate a live mouse on stage has the metal community been so excited.”
Meanwhile, Buddy likes his music on the more funktacular side of things and says he’s most excited to see Le Handsome Club play to a booty-shakin’ crowd in New York in support of their newest record, Cosmic Megafunk For Extraterrestrial Discos. Le Handsome Club will be preceded by a familiar opening act, the funktastic stylings of Purrliament Funkadelic. Prepare for the funk!

That’s some righteous stuff there! You NY guys get all the best events – I’m very jealous in the boondocks here!

Thank you. 🙂
He’s actually just been diagnosed with a rare illness and will have to have treatments for months. The cat doctor said she’s only seen this one other time in her long career. The other cat she diagnosed was getting treatments for 18 months and only partially recovered. I’m very sad as I write this because Cesare is my best buddy in the whole world.
Cat doctor says he has a 50% chance of full recovery. He’s the best little friend I’ve ever had. I call him my velcro-Cat because he’s always by my side no matter what I’m doing. He is the best boy I’ve ever known.
Anyway, we’re making sure he gets his treatments and we’re praying hard for him.

Poor guy. How old is he?
Obviously this kind of thing hits home for me after what I experienced with Bud in October, and it really sucks, especially the feeling of helplessness when your cat is in pain and you feel like there’s nothing you can do.
If there’s anything Bud and I can help with, please let us know, and please keep us updated on how Cesare is doing. We’re pulling for him.

I’m there! Uh, I mean Oreo is going to be at all scheduled NYC’s purrformances…Hopefully we’ll see Buddy there! Oreo has just announced I’m his plus 1. Truth be told, he wants to go in style & I’m the only human servant allowed to carry his huge but comfy carrier that weights a ton, but meow it, I’ll take him. I can’t say no to a big boy with killer talons at the end of those fancy feet of his.

There’s something about Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest cats that make them perfect for stuff like that, especially with the creepy ass staring that cats do.
re: Caturday. Sure, thanks for mentioning us and I’ll link back to you as well.
Next thing I’m working on is movies if they starred cats instead of people.

Ahahaha, sounds rockin’! Party hearty, Little Buddy and kitties! Though I wasn’t much of metal fan, there’s one song by a metal band I really like. I may link to it in the next post if I ever get around to it. It’s based on a quote by Darwin.
