While in the studio recording their new album
"The Concealers", the members of
DAATH decided to record a medley of classic death metal songs by
CANNIBAL CORPSE,
MORBID ANGEL and
DYING FETUS. The resultant recording — which also features
JOB FOR A COWBOY's
Jonny Davy on vocals — is entitled
"Fecal Finger" and is available for free download only at
MetalSucks and will not appear on the new album. Download the track and watch behind-the-scenes video footage at

DAATH drummer
Kevin Talley explained the genesis of the track to
MetalSucks via e-mail: "
'Fecal Finger'... a beautiful name for a beautiful piece of music. One day we jammed some death metal songs and we jokingly said we should play them at a show... so we did. We chose the
DYING FETUS song because I wrote and recorded it with them and many people never saw me play it live.
Matt DeVries [
CHIMAIRA] and I used to jam that
MORBID ANGEL riff a couple years ago so we brought that in since it is crushingly brutal. And you can't jam a jam without
Jim Carrey's favorite death metal band
CANNIBAL CORPSE. We recorded this freakin shit because kids these days need to recognize who influenced the newer bands they listen to. After hearing the originals for so many years, it's weird hearing these songs with a newer style recording. But
Sean Z's vocals are fucking sick and
Jonny Davy's (
JOB FOR A COWBOY) guest vocals on the
MORBID ANGEL part are amazing. This recording is finally growing on me and it's actually my favorite thing to listen to right now."
