Metallica Mondays: Orion cover by Mastodon
9mon 19d ago by lemmy.world/u/Olap in metallica from www.youtube.comWith the passing of Brent Hinds, here is a track well worth revisiting. Originally recorded for a Kerrang magazine covers album of Master of Puppets, this track sees the mighty Mastodon cover the penultimate track from MoP. And what a cover it is, largely close to the original with those Brann drums, Brent guitar chops, tight Bill rythym, and Troy bass work that sets this as one of the best on the whole album
The cover album itself is worth checking out too, with some great covers including Trivium doing the title track, and Fightstar doing a great Leper Messiah take. Kerrang also did the same treatment for the Black Album, though less successfully imo
RIP Brent Hinds, 1974-2025
