: Warrior Soul 2020 cover album features 2 KISS songs From
:
blabbermouth.net
WARRIOR SOUL will release a covers album called "Cocaine And
Other Good Stuff" on November 13 via Livewire/Cargo Records. The LP
will be preceded by a single, "Elected", on October 9.
"Cocaine And Other Good Stuff" is an incendiary compilation of songs
that everyone in the band, both current and previous members, had
some input choosing, and it shows true honesty in the recordings,
making it a fresh take on some very listenable rock jams.
Says singer Kory Clarke: "We wanted to make a record that was not
about all the crap we are all living in, as it seems like a
well-worn path for. So, I had to think out of the box."
The album was recorded all over the western world (Edinburgh,
Scotland; Newcastle, England, Copenhagen, Denmark; Los Angeles; New
York; Chicago; Detroit; Sheffield, England; Costa Blanca, Torrevieja,
Spain) in home studios.
Track listing:
01. Good Times Roll (Ocasek)
02. Cocaine (Cale)
03. Crosstown Traffic (Hendrix)
04. Cold Gin (Frehley)
05. D.O.A. (Van Halen, Van Halen, Anthony, Roth)
06. Elected (Cooper, Buxton, Bruce, Dunaway, Smith)
07. Outlaw (Kilmister, Campbell, Dee)
08. Firehouse (Stanley)
09. Get Down Tonight (Casey, Finch)
10. We're An American Band (Brewer)
11. Living After Midnight (Halford, Downing, Tipton)
The idea for a covers album started when Clarke was contacted by
legendary rock photographer, Alex Ruffini's brother, enquiring if
WARRIOR SOUL would record a cover of a KISS song, which was Alex
Ruffini's favorite band, for a tribute in aid of cancer research.
WARRIOR SOUL recorded "Cold Gin". Once the band started
recording, it sounded really positive and they decided to assemble a
complete record of covers ranging from MOTÖRHEAD to KC AND THE
SUNSHINE BAND.
Says Clarke: "I contacted many of the musicians who have played with
WARRIOR SOUL recently and asked if they wanted to be part of it.
Everyone was very much up for it and ready to go. We called John
Dryland at Livewire/Cargo Records, and he said, 'Of course, go for
it. The irony of recording 'Good Times Roll' during a global
pandemic really works as you can hear the sneer of sarcasm right
through every chorus."
WARRIOR SOUL is known for recording some electrifying covers
previously, including songs by JOY DIVISION, Iggy Pop and David
Bowie. Kory Clarke has performed on several compilation and tribute
albums singing other acts songs but this is the first complete album
of its kind from
WARRIOR SOUL.

: DAVID ELLEFSON cover album features KISS' "Beth" From
:
blabbermouth.net
ELLEFSON, the solo band of MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson, will
release its covers album, "No Cover", on November 20 via earMUSIC
(Europe) and Ward Records (Japan). The effort will be made available
in conjunction with Ellefson's revived Combat Records, which will
issue the album in North America via Amped.
ELLEFSON has cited some unexpected medical situations for
pushing back the "No Cover" release date by more than a month.
Vocalist/co-producer Thom Hazaert states: "There's no easy way to
say it, but in July, right in the middle of recording the album, I
had massive heart failure and went into full cardiac arrest. My
heart literally stopped for several minutes, and I was revived at
the hospital. There was a long recovery, but we managed to finish
the record, and secure amazing deals with our friends at earMUSIC
and Ward, but obviously we had to revisit our timeline a bit. And
literally, maybe a month and a half later we were in Los Angeles, at
Al's house, shooting the video for 'Auf Wiedersehen'. I'm just
extremely humbled and thankful to be here to be able to, not only,
finish this incredible record, but be able to see it released
worldwide with incredible label partners, which really almost wasn't
the case."
He adds: "Originally we had envisioned 'No Cover' as a smaller,
limited-release 'quarantine project' we were doing for fun with a
bunch of our friends, really just to not have to release our studio
album during the pandemic. But as it neared completion, and we
really got to see what it was turning into, we realized it was
worthy of so much more. I have a long history and friendship with
Max at earMUSIC, and they are an incredible label, and home to some
of our favorite artists, and friends — ALICE COOPER, DEF LEPPARD,
and more — and we are ecstatic to be able to partner with them for
not only this release, but future ELLEFSON releases as well. Ward
had already released 'Sleeping Giants' for us last year in Japan,
and we had secured a deal with them for our upcoming 2021 studio
album, so it was a natural fit when we went to them with the idea of
partnering with us on 'No Cover'."
Adds Ellefson: "It really was a crazy, whirlwind process, not only
making such an involved album so fast, but also remotely, during a
pandemic, with not only dozens of guests, but the entire band,
spread around the globe. And then almost losing our singer in the
middle of it. But at the end of the day, it turned out better than
any of us had hoped, and really was one of the most fun records I've
ever made. It's been great to pull so many great and positive things
out of 2020, despite all the challenges."
Produced by Ellefson and Hazaert, with additional production by
guitarist Andy Martongelli and Matt LaPlant (NONPOINT, SKINDRED,
LIL' JON), mixed by Alessio Garavello, and mastered by Maor
Appelbaum (FAITH NO MORE), "No Cover" includes ELLEFSON-ized
versions of 19 classic tracks from MOTÖRHEAD, W.A.S.P., DEF LEPPARD,
CHEAP TRICK, QUEEN, JUDAS PRIEST, TWISTED SISTER, FASTWAY, FIGHT,
DEAD KENNEDYS and more. Featuring cover art by Melody Myers
(ALTITUDES AND ATTITUDE, ESCAPE THE FATE), an homage to the
legendary DEF LEPPARD debut "On Through The Night", "No Cover" is
the second release under the ELLEFSON banner, the follow-up to
2019's "Sleeping Giants", a double-disc compilation combining new
tracks, with unreleased Ellefson solo and F5 material.
ELLEFSON, featuring Ellefson on bass, vocalist Thom Hazaert,
guitarists Andy Martongelli and Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (SONS OF
APOLLO, YES, ex-GUNS N' ROSES), and drummer Paolo Caridi, are joined
on the album by a who's who of legendary guests including Charlie
Benante (ANTHRAX), Eddie Ojeda (TWISTED SISTER), Brandon Yeagley (CROBOT),
Dirk Verbeuren (MEGADETH), Frank Hannon and Troy Lucketta (TESLA),

collaborating on a new music video, "Hard Luck Woman," and they’ll
premiere it at the 18th Annual Music Is Art Festival between 6 and 7
