Metal Anarchy

Six Feet Under will release their fourth “Graveyard Classics” album on May 27. The effort is called “Graveyard Classics IV: The Number Of The Priest,” and it will feature covers of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden tracks picked by Metal Blade’s Brian Slagel. Check out the band’s cover of Judas Priest’s “Invader” feat. Ray Alder (Fates Warning) below:

Chris Barnes said the following:

“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 fucking 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!”
