They've reworked the Big Black classic.
Lamb Of God's Burn The Priest project have released a brilliant cover of Big Black's Kerosene.
“Big Black is a very important band to me,” explains frontman Randy Blythe. “When I was 12 and first listening to punk rock, I thought all punk came from England – but then through skating, I got into Black Flag and Bad Brains. I soon discovered this super-smart American punk rock – very caustic, and deeply sardonic about the murky side of the human experience. That got me into Steve Albini's future bands Shellac and Rapeman – and all the noisy smart punk rock on labels like AmRep and Touch & Go. Kerosene was one of their biggest songs, if they even had one. It speaks to small-town boredom.”
Kerosene is taken from Burn The Priest's new Legion: XX album, which is due out May 18 via Nuclear Blast. Pre-order it now at this link, and keep scrolling to check out what other bands you're going to hear covered on the release.
