More On Sigh Female Vocalist Recording In The Nude

SIGH's Mirai Kawashima recently penned the first of several exclusive studio blogs for MetalSucks. The band is currently in the studio recording their 8th studio album "Scenes From Hell" which will see a release by The End Records later in 2009. In this blog entry, Kawashima talks about female vocalist Dr. Mikannibal's bizarre vocal recording habits, among them getting naked and drinking cow's blood. An excerpt follows:

"At the moment, we are recording the vocal parts. This time, a half of them are taken care of Dr. Mikannibal.

"To get the best result, she sets several strict strange rules on her during the recording.

"The first rule is: Get naked when you record the vocals.

"As you can see in the above photo, she always takes off her clothes in the studio during the vocal recording sessions. Definitely this perplexes the recording engineer and other band members, but she claims that this is extremely important to her.

"It was one hot day that I took my clothes off during the recording session for the first time. I've stopped doing vocal recordings with my clothes on since then, as the first naked recording worked out really well for me."

"She claims that being naked is extremely important to her because "I don't wanna sweat. Also, my lungs and throat need to be wide open, and I feel more energy."

"The second rule is: Drink cow's blood during the recording.

"She eats anything. Here are a few examples of 'food' she has tried: Cockroach, moth chrysalis, bee larva, bull balls, and pig penis. No, this is not a typical shocking story made up for a band image, but she eats these things for real. And during the recording, cow's blood is something she can't miss."

I couldn't care less what bullsh** some chick does in the studio other than what her vocal tracks sound like. So far we keep getting all this "whoohoo Naked Chick" sh**. Are we that shallow that we give a f***? Sorry, hon, There's no lack of asian porn. So unless you got the chops to front a good band, I'll just watch that. At least I can hear some vocals there. The music might be mind-blowing, but until I hear something concrete, I'll assume this is a publicity stunt.

Actually, she's still got her pants on! :D

If it helps the music measurably or just puts the musician in the right headspace--do it. This happens to be a relatively attractive female so this doubles as publicity....I think we would all find it funny if Cannibal Corpse did the same thing...but if it put them in the right headspace then let it be done I say.

technically that is not cow's blood. one pic shows them pouring off the liquid from a package of some kind of meat. In beef, that is simply moisture from the meat, basically liquid protein, not blood.
this whole thing is starting to look more and more like a shock tactic.

the website you go to see those salad fingers videos shares the same domain name as a fat people porn site.

i forget whether its "fatpie.com" or "fat-pie.com" for the salad fingers videos. you'll know which link is wrong when you get videos of people having sex with pizzas and fat girls deep throating subs.
