Paws, Pets & Metal is Metal Insider’s ongoing column on bands with pets, discovering who watches them on the road, and more. Get to know more about these metal furbabies. Death metal project Imperishable, featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation) have recently released their debut album, Revelation In Purity, via Everlasting Spew Records. To take a break from celebrating their August 2025 release, we caught up with Kingsland to briefly discuss his two dogs.

No
Who looks after your pet while on the road?
My wife and kids.
