Well, this is one helluva collaboration! Ninety-nine metal artists have banded together to sing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” for charity. Among those providing their voices to the charitable track are members of Pantera, Mastodon, Slayer, Testament, Sepultura, and more.
The collaboration was the brainchild of Scour guitarist Derek Engemann and bassist John Jarvis, as well as Gruesome bassist Robin Mazen, all under the moniker The Boozehoundz. They recruited the likes of their Scour bandmate Philip Anselmo (Pantera, Down), Kirk Windstein (Crowbar, Down), Bill Kelliher (Mastodon), Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus), Brendon Small (Dethklok, Galaktikon), Derrick Green (Sepultura), Mark “Barney” Greenway (Napalm Death), Mike “XCIX” Williams (EyeHateGod), Chuck Billy (Testament), and dozens more to each sing a line from the traditional drinking song.
Proceeds from the 23-minute track benefit Old Dog Haven, which helps provide foster care for older dogs. The song was intentionally released today (August 26th) to coincide with International Dog Day.
Contributions can be made by purchasing the track through Bandcamp or by donating at a designated GoFundMe page.
Among the other bands represented in the track are Hatebreed, Death Angel, Trivium, Arch Enemy, Possessed, and more. Hear the entire track and see the full list of contributing artists below.
