Metal Anarchy

Skinlab have released a new cover of Hatebreed’s “Last Breath. ” You can check that out below:

Vocalist/bassist Steev Esquivel commented:

“‘Last Breath‘ is one of those metal anthems that hits you in the chest every time. We’ve been Hatebreed fans from day one. Our boy Brett Makowski — Buzzard — turned us onto them on our first tour. We were instantly blown away by the pure aggression and energy. ‘Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire‘ is one of the heaviest albums to this day. I’ve been wanting to do ‘Last Breath‘ for years.”

Producer Ulrich Wild continued:

“It’s always a challenge to do a cover song justice. You have to stay true to the original yet adapt it to your own style. It’s easy to simply play the song — any cover band does that. You have to catch the vibe, but allow yourself the freedom to experiment within the boundaries of the composition. With ‘Last Breath‘ we’re taking a very raw hardcore track and pushing it into the groove metal world for which Skinlab is known. Along with that come multi-layered vocal tracks — Steev‘s signature sound — and new dimensions with additional guitars and a solo.”

Hatebreed’s Wayne Lozinak added:

“Loving this cover of ‘Last Breath‘! Some different sounds in there going on too, putting a cool twist on it and taking it to a new place. If you haven’t heard it yet, go check it out!”
