Perth scrap recyclers CD Dodd recycles 90s metal musicians in new campaign via Rare
Rare, Perth has launched a new campaign for scrap metal recycler CD Dodd, that recycled 90s metal musicians to create the world’s first heavy metal jingle (they think).
With the help of Soundbyte, Rare cast some local musicians you might remember from back in the day – Joe Kapiteyn (iNFeCTed, Devil Rides Out), Dave Harrison (Allegiance), Aidan Barton (Pathogen) and Damien Petroli (Syzygy, Black Steel) to form a new band called ‘Reborn’ and write, compose and record the jingle.
Band merchandise was also created as part of the campaign, as well as behind-the-scenes videos and interviews with band members to tell the back-story of ‘Reborn’.
The aim of the campaign was to blast CD Dodd’s name across the airwaves in a way that would make their target audience put down their tools and take notice.
Listen to the Radio spots (30, 45 & 60 secs):
Says Liz Hammond, CD, Rare: “It was great to see professional musicians so energised by our project, and to have a client willing to produce something so brave. The heavy metal genre now has several new fans in the Rare office.”

What a fun idea. Admittedly I do love my metal.
I’m very happy with this – I never thought I’d see this kind of thing In an advert.
Metal needs to be recognised, reborn and understood – there’s a lot of talent here that only hardcore musicians seem to appreciate and if you can’t get past the growling then check out Blotted Science
ON BEHALF OF EVERY METALHEAD IN AUSTRALIA you should release a cd
Right, so you lads are brutally brilliant.
If you do not make an album, it will be an injustice to metal lovers globally.
I have literally just purchased every one of Reborn’ members previous Albums.
Some serious talent.
Hands down best advert ever.
Yessssss i loved allegiance . Grew up in rocko.
Absolutely the worst advertisement on TV. Please remove as soon as possible.
For goodness sake take your advert off TV. Cannot here a word of the vocalist (not a singer). The instrumentalists are awful. It is the worst advert I have seen and that is saying something.
I thought this would be the sort of things you would joke with your workmates about doing. Not something you market your company by. It’s a bit hard to take the company seriously with this sort of juvenile, immature thinking. Besides it being an awful sounding shitfight of horrible sounds.
Absolutely appalling.
Bloody awesome ad should be more like it
Yewww
Hate the ad. A bloody screaming noise. Totally shits me off
Unreal, very impressed, fresh advert that gets people talking. Had no idea who CD.Dodd until now
Forget the haters
Great stuff
Stupid ad, can’t even understand the words. Get rid of it.
