Biffy Clyro and OFF! have unveiled covers of Metallica's Holier Than Thou.
The reworks will appear on 'The Metallica Blacklist', a tribute album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the thrash legends' classic self-titled record, aka 'The Black Album'.
The Scottish trio's bruising rendition comes with Ghost-esque stylings, while OFF! have offered up a more heavy cut. Press play below.
In June, St Vincent dropped an industrial revamp of Sad But True, while Sam Fender unveiled a stripped back piano-based reinterpretation of the song. Jason Isbell also posted his take.
Prior to that, Miley Cyrus unveiled her reimagination of Nothing Else Matters with WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Robert Trujillo and Chad Smith, while Latin star Juanes' reworked Enter Sandman.
The star-studded charity release will comprise 53 artists covering tracks from the 1991 LP. Head here for further details.
Metallica will appear at Atlanta weekend concert series ATLive this November. They also headline Firenze Rocks in Italy, Prague Rocks and Madrid's Mad Cool Festival in summer 2022.
Biffy Clyro, meanwhile, will play Cardiff Bay's Alexandra Head on September 16, joined by Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes. They'll also perform at Glasgow Green that same month, before hitting the road for their rearranged The Fingers Crossed Tour in the autumn. Their latest full-length, 'A Celebration Of Endings', was released in 2020.
OFF!'s most recent album, meanwhile, is 2014's 'Wasted Years'.
