Punishing noise levels are a natural force among metal’s various habitats. But after hearing the roar of chainsaws tear through Costa Rica’s rain forest, two angry metalheads are banging their heads together to protect our ecosystems.
A great alliance for biodiversity between Savage Lands and the Jane Goodall Institute France took place at UNESCO, where Dr. Jane Goodall delivered a “Speech for History”. They may not share the same taste in music, but these two change makers are banding together to preserve our ecosystems.
Savage Lands are still buzzing after their performance on the main stage at Hellfest. Today, the musician-run 501(c) 3 non-profit is thrilled to announce that the festival is donating one million Euro to support their ongoing reforestation efforts in Costa Rica and Europe!
Loud buzzing is music to the ear of most metalheads. But Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren and guitarist Sylvain Demercastel are so enraged by the sound of chainsaws destroying Costa Rica’s ecosystem that they’ve started Savage Lands, a musician-run 501 (c) 3 non-profit.
Using royalties from their first ever-single, Savage Lands recently protected 60,000 square feet of Costa Rican rainforest from getting chopped down. But on their new single, “Black Rock Heart”, these angry metalheads are warning us that if we don’t listen up, the world as we know it might not be around much longer.
Just a few months ago, 60,000 square feet of rain forest along the Costa Rican coastline was going to get chopped down. Fortunately, the angry metalheads behind Savage Lands had other ideas.
Season of Mist is partnering with the musicians of SAVAGE LANDS. Through this partnership, we’ll bang our heads together with members of Megadeath, Sepultura, Obituary and other legendary metalheads to support forests in Costa Rica. This is the first time a record label is partnering & releasing the music of a non-profit organization.
