Friday Morning Metal – Stone Sour – Creeping Death

I totally forgot to do my regular Passover Creeping Death post. And then I heard this cover by Stone Sour. It’s pretty standard, but the vocals are pretty amazing. You can also hear the bass in it. That’s vital to metal and half the time it’s tuned out of the mix so much you can’t hear anything. And then I feel bad for bassists.

The song’s off their EP “Meanwhile in Burbank” which features covers of other hits, including Children of the Grave and Love Gun. They don’t stray much from the originals, but the guys are talented so it’s still a solid outing.

Friday Morning Metal – Passover Edition

I need to research more to find out if there are other metal songs about Passover. Because there’s a lot of gnarly shit that goes on in the story. Frogs, locusts, animals getting covered in boils, it’s pretty brutal.

Here’s Metallica performing Creeping Death live in like 1991. You can already hear Hetfield doing the goofy vocal junk that’s invaded Metallica since the Black Album.

And then someone took the original version and put it on top of clips from the Ten Commandments. Totally awesome

Friday Morning Metal – Blistered Earth – Creeping Death

Hey I had the unique privilege to see Blistered Earth last week. They are a Metallica Tribute band, which sounds like a corny cover band, but they rocked it pretty hard for the whole set. Their opener, Voyager, started with Hellion/Electric Eye, so I knew it was going to be a kickass show all around. Anyway, if you have the opportunity to see either band live, you should definitely take it.

Here’s Blistered Earth covering my favorite Passover song, Creeping Death.
