CANIS DIRUS Ink Deal With Moribund Records
July 7, 2009, 15 years ago
Minnesota-based black metal duo CANIS DIRUS have signed to Moribund Records for the release of their debut album, A Somber Wind From A Distant Shore. According to a press release, Canus Dirus – named after the “dire wolf,” existing 100,000 years ago and indigenous to North America – base their epic songs around their disdain for the fact that humans have been perpetually encroaching on nature and the natural beauty of our land, encapsulating that foreboding atmosphere in the fittingly titled A Somber Wind From a Distant Shore.
Says the band: "We stand above and against the sick animal, man - the herd animal. Through loathing and indifference our art is an expression of contempt and hatred for the ill-constituted and weak. Our will is our own."
Canus Dirus’ A Somber Wind From a Distant Shore is set for release on August 25th. The new song 'Garden Of Death' is currently streaming on the band's MySpace page.
