CANIS DIRUS Independence To The Beast LP BONE WHITE + CD [VINYL 12"]

“Canis Dirus is an expression of the life, death and rebirth cycle of our own existence. It is the dichotomy of loss and gain, birth and death, sorrow and triumph as well as prey and predator. Taking the name from the dire wolf, a prehistoric apex predator which existed in our own area of the world over 100,000 years ago, our music is an exploration of the brutal nature that surrounds us.”

Bindrune continues to nurture the firestorm set deep within the Minnesotan landscapes, this time embracing the tortured and emotive black metal style of the long running duo, Canis Dirus. Featuring the open minded and unique writing style of sole songwriter of the band, Todd Paulson (Uvall, Celestial Sea and Dormant), Canis Dirus has evolved dramatically from humble black metal beginnings, to be a truly scary musical entity that reflects and redirects some really rather scaring life trials and tribulations into the stripped bare and interesting union of black metal and folk. Rob Hames’ vocals further stir this intense union through unhinged screams and more of a narrated chanting style.

It has been 7 long years since the bands Anden Om Norr full-length… a lot has happened on a personal level during that time and we are thrilled to unleash their impending new full-length upon all of you!
