Richmond, VA

A weed-loving death metal crew based out of Richmond, Virginia, Cannabis Corpse was founded in 2006 by siblings Philip "Landphil" Hall and Josh "HallHammer" Hall. Inspired by a shared love of marijuana and Buffalo, New York-based grindcore/death metal outfit Cannibal Corpse, the band pieced together their debut EP, Blunted at Birth, shortly after forming. A record deal with Richmond indie Forcefield Records followed, and in 2008 they issued their first full-length outing, Tube of the Resinated. The band moved to West Coast independent label Tankcrimes for their next two releases, 2009's The Weeding EP and 2011's full-length Beneath Grow Lights Thou Shalt Rise. In 2013 the band inked a deal with Season of Mist and dropped From Wisdom to Baked. Left Hand Pass, Cannabis Corpse's fourth studio long-player, followed in 2017. ~ James Christopher Monger
