American heavy metal group Corrosion of Conformity have released a cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song “On The Hunt” from the band’s third studio album Nuthin’ Fancy from 1975. Corrosion of Conformity’s cover brings a new heavy metal sound to the classic song. Listen to the cover via the official visualizer below.

The cover hits the same beats as the original– it doesn’t change the feel, tone, or pacing of the original– but it brings the song into a more modern heavy metal setting with electric guitar shreds and riffs, distortion and heavier percussion.

This cover releases shortly before Corrosion of Conformity’s three-week tour across the UK and Europe.

Mike Dean from Corrosion of Conformity commented “This is our hard to find tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd, a major influence of COC. With the recent passing of the great Gary Rossington, the last living original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, we thought it would be a good time to make this celebration of Skynyrd more widely available.”
