No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is an all-star guest cover album of Metallica’s debut album being put out by Silver Lining Music with a release date of 14th November.
Ahead of the album, and out now is a newly recorded single by The Almighty featuring a full-throttle rendition of Metallica’s ‘The Four Horsemen’ – The British band’s first recorded work with their founding lineup since 1991, chosen by the band as both a nod to their roots and a declaration of intent.
“’The Four Horsemen’ – by Metallica – got us back into the studio with the original lineup for the first time since 1991… Unbelievable!” Almighty lead singer and guitarist Ricky Warwick exclaimed. “When the opportunity presented itself, it was really a no brainer, Metallica have been a huge influence for us… It was a bit nerve-wracking because we had not been in the studio for such a long time. We did the whole thing in a day and a half with as much power and passion as you would expect from The Almighty, it is such a powerful track. I think it turned out great, make sure you turn it up really, really loud!”
