In an effort to help prove that the metal community is not filled with mindless, hate-filled, angry men, author/photographer Alexandra Crockett is putting together a photography book entitled Metaldudes Cats Book that showcases some of the most brutal and visionary members of the West coast metal community with their darling, adorable little balls of fur: their cats.

Crockett comments, “Metaldudes Cats Book challenges stereotypes of masculinity and the metal culture. I think we can all agree that cat photos and videos are an integral part of the Internet. Metaldudes Cats Book combines three loves that have a global reach: Kitties, Metal, and Dudes. A love of kitties binds the entire world together, even tough guys who listen to brutal, harsh music.”

Isis, Xasthur, Atriarch, Black Goat, Book of Black Earth, Harassor, Lord Time, Skeletonwitch, King Dude, Morbid Angel, Anhedonist, Thrones, Lightning Swords of Death, Municipal Waste, Holy Grail, Nausea, Exhumed, Phobia, Murder Construct, Cattle Decapitation, and Gypsyhawk are only a few of the bands that have already volunteered to be photographed with their kitties.

One of the things that I can see being really frustrating for metal loving women is the lack of merchandise options. Sure, you can get a mens small, but that doesn’t really cut it, now does it? Oh, and having underwear with the band’s name on it is cute and all, but the only person who’s going to see it is yourself and your special someone, barring a few exceptions.

No, heavy metal women want to show off their passion. They want to show off their favorite bands and scream to the world that they know their shit. And that’s where Rebecca Conrad stepped in.

Conrad has created an Etsy shop entitled Hell Couture, which specializes in metal clothing aimed at women. And it’s not bands that you can get at your local Hot Topic. No, she creates clothing for bands such as Bathory, Burzum, White Wizard, Moonblood, Leviathan, Xasthur, and much more. You can see samples of her clothing below.

Noisecreep has a great interview with Conrad that you can read here. READ MORE
