You may have read about Lamb of God’s (aka LoG) new cover album titled Burn The Priest which followed with a couple songs so as to get a taste of what we’re in store door. Now, through a recent press release, LoG has released a new cover: this time a variation of the Bad Brains’ hit “I against I.”
Unlike the original Bad Brains version, Lamb of God takes the hardcore punk and brings more of a heavy metal flavor, most notably in the guitar and vocals. Although they made the song their own, they still stay true to the original, giving the listener a note of nostalgia followed by a burst of electric energy. Check out the whole cover of Bad Brains’ “I And I” below.
I Against I (Audio Only) by Burn The Priest on VEVO.
Other covers for the Burn the Priest album include songs by the Cro-Mags, Big Black, Ministry, Quicksand, Melvins, and many more!
When talking about their most recent cover, vocalist Randy Blythe says that “It’s been a super-big honor to recently sing with one of my favorite 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.”
