Alex Santana, the singer of the Los Angeles-based death metal band
BLOOD MONEY, is expecting a baby with his fiancée, actor
Jim Carrey's rock musician daughter
Jane Carrey. "I am very excited,"
Jim, 47, said in a statement, according to
People magazine. "
Jane is going to be a great mom."
Jane, 21, sings for the
JANE CARREY BAND, and is the
"Liar Liar" star's daughter with his first wife
Melissa.
Jim Carrey is said to be a fan of the death metal band
CANNIBAL CORPSE, who made a cameo appearance in
Carrey's 1994 movie
"Ace Ventura: Pet Detective".
According to
BLOOD MONEY's official bio, the band's goal is very simple: "Make heavy music and share it with the world. Be it death, thrash, grind, etc. You will hear it in
BLOOD MONEY. From
PANTERA to
SEPULTURA, or
DECAPITATED to
NAPALM DEATH. You will feel their intensity in
BLOOD MONEY. But even though we play with their strengths, we write with our own. A new breed of metal, a stew of genres, a story in every song. Stories that tell of the world we live in, the struggles of power and the belief of expression."
The band adds: "We are a group of four guys from L.A. who love to play metal. A group that writes songs together, sharing riffs and rhythms. And when all is said and done,
BLOOD MONEY writes epic songs. Songs to begin an album and songs to end an album. This fact was proven with the 2008 release of
'One Nation Under Hate'. A relentless force of a record, that beckons for the throne of progressive death metal. But more importantly,
BLOOD MONEY was born to play live, delivering arguably the most compelling, brutal, and infamous shows in the Los Angeles underground. We play to abolish the norm… We play to cultivate the doubtful… We play to incite riots. We play as one machine."
