Instruments of Destruction cover

Post by Onslaught Six »

I put out a new EP this weekend with a cover of Instruments of Destruction from the TFTM soundtrack. I also put together a video for it.

I'm one of like, three people to ever cover this, and if you ask me I did the best job, so.

I never really went through a "music" phase. But, this is the type of thing that I probably would have gotten in to if I had.

I dig it. You sound a little like Rob Halford in parts of this one, so clearly I approve.

I sound like Rob Halford in general. Wait for my new album in June.

That there is a bold statement, ol'chap. I'll keepy ears peeled for it, then.

Also, that is totally the best song on the soundtrack. People can make a case for Dare to be Stupid or the Touch, but c'mon.

I've always loved it, and it's made even more mystical by the fact that the band basically never did anything else, ever. They apparently recorded some tracks back then and it was released through a mail-order website by the guitarist around 2001, but aside from a shady bootleg with crackles and weird audio glitches, I've never been able to find it anywhere, and asking the guy directly has gotten me nowhere, so I gave up.

I've always been partial to the Kick Axe cover of 'Nothin's Gonna Stand In Our Way' myself, but yeah, Instruments of Destruction is tough to beat.

Anyway, Six, thanks for including a music video with the thing so I wouldn't have to feel like a tool for just listening to music on Youtube. You did a bang-up job on this one, it's not as 'industrial' as your other work, probably as a result of the source material. I quite dig it, the song itself is a good fit for your style either way.

Have you heard the original? They kicked the ass of it.

Less Industrial is my general new direction. It's been emotionally and physically draining to do industrial; it's a lot easier and more refreshing at this junction to write thrash metal. Weird!

And hey, I listen to music on Youtube all the time. The video is just there to promote it; it's on Bandcamp where you can just listen to all my crap for free.
