California-based photographer Alexandra Crockett will be releasing a photo book titled Metal Cats, which documents the loving relationship between hardcore metalheads and their adorable, fluffy cats.
In most cases, one would not associate lovable cats with tattoo-covered, head-banging metal fans, but that is the stereotype that Crockett is planning to break.
“Metal isn’t all dark and disturbing, violent and misanthropic,” wrote Crockett. “Metal Cats is proof that while the music may be brutal, the people in the scene are softies for their pets just like you and me…”
The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon at US$9.98. A portion of the proceeds will go to no-kill shelters in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, and Los Angeles.
