- Graveyard Classics!!! Cover songs from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden [!]
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 five Judas Priest covers (side A), and six Iron Maiden covers (side B), handpicked by Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel.
Chris Barnes: 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!"
SIX FEET UNDER will be on tour this summer in Europe for a very special select run of dates. Chris Barnes comments: "Graveyard Classics The Tour begins June 30th and ends July 9th, with our return to the all powerful With Full Force festival!!
