99 primarily heavy musicians, including members of Down, Slayer, Mastodon, Fear Factory and more, will be taking in a benefit version of the song ‘99 Bottles“. Proceeds generated from the track from will go towards Old Dog Haven—an organization dedicated to helping senior dogs find foster homes.
The benefit initiative was spearheaded by Scour‘s Derek Engemann and John Jarvis and intend to release the track on August 26th, International Dog Day. Jarvis commented:
“In conjunction with our friends at Old Dog Haven and The World Famous BOOZEHOUNDZ (Derek & I’s satirical overly drunk punk band) we present the “99 Bottles” out on International Dog Day!!!”
Engemann added:
“This has been an epically fun project involving the entire Metal scene, and even a few Ska bands! This project originally began back in 2013, but was brought back to life once we discovered Old Dog Haven. The “99 Bottles” has truly shown the good side of humanity during these wild times that we are in. I was amazed at all of the people who were eager to sign up for a verse. Winston, Clementine, Tasha, and The Boozehoundz thank everyone involved, and thank you to everyone who takes the time to give this insane track a spin!”
