SIX FEET UNDER Streams JUDAS PRIEST Cover Song, ‘Never Satisfied’, Online

SIX FEET UNDER ‘Open Coffin Orgy’ Video Released

On May 27th, SIX FEET UNDER will release the fourth installment of their ‘Graveyard Classics‘ series, this time paying tribute to two of metal’s most heralded legends: Iron Maiden and Judas Priest! Entitled ‘Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest‘, the album is comprised of fiveJudas Priest covers (side A), and six Iron Maiden covers (side B), handpicked by Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel. For a preview of the record, the cover version of ‘Never Satisfied’ is now streaming via Sound Cloud and can be heard below.

To hear the first single – SIX FEET UNDER‘s cover of ‘Invader’ – and to pre-order the album in various formats, please visit this location.

In regards to this new serving of death metal tributes, SIX FEET UNDER founder Chris Barnes comments: “Get ready to have your ears violated and your mind blown! ‘Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest’ just crawled out of the Heavy Metal Cemetery! Having a good time playing music is what it’s always been about since day one, and that’s what the ‘Graveyard Classics’ albums are to me… a good f**king time! On this trip down memory lane, we cover songs from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden; the two greatest metal bands of all time. Ray Alder from Fates Warning did a guest background vocal appearance on ‘Invader’, our first single. Ray is a great friend, and an awesome vocalist, and I felt our differences in styles blended well together for the middle section and added some harmony to the rawness. I hope you all enjoy the band’s twist on these legendary songs!
