Cannabis Corpse was acannabis-themeddeath metal band.[1] Cannabis Corpse formed inRichmond, Virginia in 2006 under the Forcefield label.[2] Since then, Cannabis Corpse has released sixLPs and twoEPs. The band features members ofMunicipal Waste and Antietam 1862.[2][3]
Their name originates as a parody of the name of veteran death metal bandCannibal Corpse. While the Cannabis Corpse songs are fully original, their album and song titles are parodies of many other death metal bands' album and song titles (e.g. "Tube of the Resinated" vs Cannibal Corpse's "Tomb of the Mutilated").
In 1999, bassist/guitarist Philip "Landphil" Hall coined the "Cannabis Corpse" name with his brother Josh "HallHammer" Hall. The original line up had Landphil on vocals and a recruit named John Gonzalez (of Nehema) on guitar. John moved to Hawaii and the band was put on hold until 2006, when Phil bought amultitrack recorder. The brothers, along with Andy "Weedgrinder" Horn recorded a demo for the band, which eventually becameBlunted at Birth. Soon thereafter, they were signed as the first band to Richmond, Virginia-based Forcefield Records whose founders were personal friends.[4]
Cannabis Corpse appear briefly in theBBC filmIn the Loop.[5]
Cannabis Corpse toured Europe in 2013 withGhoul, and announced that they had signed toSeason of Mist on their website.[6]
Cannabis Corpse was hired byChris Barnes to be his studio band forSix Feet Under's albumCrypt of the Devil in 2015. Phil played rhythm guitars and bass on the album as well as writing the music. Josh played drums and Brandon Ellis played lead guitar, before joiningThe Black Dahlia Murder. Guitarist Ray Suhy would later join Six Feet Under as a full time member after his stint in Cannabis Corpse.
