Just in time for Halloween, thrash/hardcore squad, Extinction A.D., have unleashed a cover of the classic Alice Cooper anthem, “Feed My Frankenstein.” It comes with an official lyric video. Watch it below.
“I’m sure every band has spent hours in the van BS-ing about, “wouldn’t it be cool if we covered this song?” Anytime we’ve done that, ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ would come up half as a gag. We all grew up with and love the movie Wayne’s World that this song appears in and the placement of it in that movie is rad. Once this ‘one single a month’ idea came up, we knew we wanted to do a cover for October in the spirit of Halloween and we humped at making this the choice after years of joking about it,” explains singer/guitarist Rick Jimenez. “Adding a bit of our flavor to this song with the heaviness of the guitars and my spin vocally, while adding the keyboards in a faithful way was absolutely ridiculous and super fun. So much of what we do musically is deadly serious so it was enjoyable to do something purely lighthearted.”
The digital single and an accompanying lyric video are online now, giving metalheads everywhere the ultimate soundtrack for graveyard parties, haunted houses, and headbanging in the dark.
Known for their high-octane energy and relentless aggression, Extinction A.D. injects a heavy, modern dose of adrenaline into the iconic Cooper cut—proving that this legendary monster still needs plenty of feeding.
Now in the 9th month of the ‘one single a month’ approach Extinction A.D. have taken this year “Feed My Frankenstein” joins these other tracks for a wealth of heavy new high-octane music.
