Metal Anarchy

Nuclear Messiah, the project featuring Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth), have released a new cover of May Blitz’s “For Mad Men Only.” A video for the track, which features Joe Lynn Turner (ex-Deep Purple), Pat Travers (Pat Travers Band), Alan Davey (ex-Hawkwind), and Shawn Drover (ex-Megadeth), can be found below. Nuclear Messiah’s new album, “Black Flame,” will be released on April 24.

Poland commented:

“This Nuclear Messiah record has been an absolute pleasure for me to make and be a part of. If someone told me when I was a kid that I would be on a record someday with nearly 40 of rock’s royalty, I would have said you’re dreaming. Well, it happened!!! This record is a tour de force of artists from groups we all know and love. From the first track to the last it just never lets up. Thank you, Cleopatra!!!”

Turner added:

“It’s great to be on board with the guys from Nuclear Messiah but I never thought after 56 years that I’d be doing a metal cover version of a May Blitz song. Recording ‘For Mad Men Only’ was a time warp experience. I remember back in 1970 when the band was releasing new material in a prog/psychedelic/ punk style. The power pop attitude and cryptic lyrics of non-conformity still ring true to form. It was an absolute pleasure to make a contribution to this amazing new project! Cheers to all!”
