Lamb Of God have shared their take on Bad Brains' I Against I from their upcoming covers album as Burn The Priest, 'Legion: XX'.
The 10-track collection will be released on May 18 through Nuclear Blast and will also feature covers of classics by Cro-Mags, Agnostic Front, Quicksand, Ministry, Melvins, S.O.D, the Accused, Big Black, and Richmond punks Sliang Laos, artists that influenced the Virginia metallers in their formative years. Speaking about the song, vocalist Randy Blythe said:
"It’s been a super-big honour to recently sing with one of my favourite bands of all time. Playing with the Bad Brains was an unearthly experience - trying to replace the fastest-singing human ever on songs like Banned in DC and Pay to Cum. When it came time to choose our cover of I Against I, I was trying not to sound like H.R., as he’s so unique, but yet also throwing in enough of his style to show respect to his unique voice, through my interpretation. To cover the Bad Brains can’t be a straight-forward cover, we had to nail it, and we did."
Lamb of God are currently supporting Slayer on their final tour which hits the UK and Europe this autumn. Tickets go on sale at 10am on May 18.
