Supermodel Taxidermy share video for their single, “Blood Painted Dash”
Heavy hitting, aggressive and fun, Canada’s Supermodel Taxidermy takes skate punk, hardcore, and thrash to the next level with loud riffs, catchy lyrics, and infectious energy. They released an EP, A Whorer Story, this past January and maintaining that momentum has a new standalone single “Blood Painted Dash” ready for ears and eyes.
The band expects a solid reception from their fans as it’s a continuation of what “A Whorer Story” was built on – every song has a new feeling and represents different aspects of us all. They are dedicated to building entertaining stories as well as writing hard-hitting riffs and beats. For new listeners, there is a shock factor with the topics they’ve chosen to write about. They detail the track:
“‘Blood Painted Dash’ is a story about 3 hellbent teens that end up dying from their own recklessness due to drugs & alcohol, causing themselves to crash a car over a cliff. The kicker here though is that they wake up dead in the morgue having to piece together in terror what they have done. The subtle story we are pushing with this song is don’t drive under the influence…because you just may wake up dead!”
This single is a gory taste of what is to come in the new music that Supermodel Taxidermy is working on right now. They anticipate having an album ready for next year which spans topics of current societal issues and fun pop culture stuff such as horror movies. That record is a collaboration of three like minds and passionate musicians.

Care to introduce yourself to our readers?
Absolutely, My name is Shawn, and I am the guitarist and frontman in Supermodel Taxidermy. We are a Crossover Thrash Metal band from Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada.
Tell us a bit about your most recent release.
Our latest release is a single/official music video for the song called “Blood Painted Dash.” It’s a song about three teenagers who end up dying in a car crash due to their own recklessness from drugs and alcohol, but the kicker is they “wake up dead” in the morgue to discover in terror what has happened to them.
Where do you tend to pull inspiration from when writing?
My lyrics mainly stem from travesties that I have either read about or personally experienced in my life. Still, the actual music behind those words comes to life from picking up my guitar and not putting it down until I am completely satisfied with whatever riff I was noodling with at the time. One might think it’s actually a mild case of OCD, but I like to refer to it as passion, haha.
Do you have any upcoming shows or festivals you’d like to tell us about?
Negative, we played one festival in June of this year and just finished up a small run of shows in Alberta. Now the band is going to focus on writing for our 2023 release.
What’s your goal for the remainder of 2022?
The band is aiming to finish mapping out the structures for our latest songs that we began writing before our October shows. The goal is to have the LP ready before next fall.
