Lamb of God has revealed the next track from their upcoming covers album as Burn The Priest – Legion: XX. Today (27th) the group premiered the cover of Big Black’s “Kerosene”
Frontman Randy Blythe explained:
“Big Black is a very important band to me. When I was 12 and first listening to punk rock, I thought all punk came from England – but then through skating, I got into Black Flag and Bad Brains. I soon discovered this super-smart American punk rock – very caustic, and deeply sardonic about the murky side of the human experience. That got me into Steve Albini’s future bands Shellac and Rapeman – and all the noisy smart punk rock on labels like AmRep and Touch & Go. ‘Kerosene’ was one of their biggest songs, if they even had one. It speaks to small-town boredom.”
Legion: XX will be released on May 18th, preorder your copy here.
