Biomechanical are to record a cover version of PAINKILLER by Judas
Priest in October. It's to be produced by Chris Tsangarides who worked on the 1990 original with Priest. The recording will happen over three days at Tsangarides' own studio, the Ecology Rooms located on the white cliffs of Dover.
In his extensive career, Chris Tsangarides has worked with some of rock and metal's biggest names, including Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Bruce Dickinson and Yngwie Malmsteen, as well as producing the 'Painkiller' album.
Biomechanical have been playing the song PAINKILLER live as an encore for quite a
while, and it's always been a favourite with their growing audiences. The cover will
be released on a limited edition re-release of their second album, THE EMPIRES OF THE WORLDS This hits the shops on November 13.
John K, a self confessed Priest fan tells of his excitement:
"Painkiller where do I start?! Judas Priest...Two words: Fucking AWESOME!
One of the most influential bands on the planet that have helped to kick
start metal! They've written incredible songs! Painkiller crashed out of my
speakers like a steam train and flattened anything in its path!! When the song was first introduced to the scene it blew everything out of the water, it was an instant classic and sure enough withstood the test of time.
We're really glad to be able to do homage to the original and I still can't believe that we are going to record it with the man who produced
the track in the first place!"
The new version of 'The Empires Of The Worlds' will also include the video
for the title track and the making of that video.
You can catch Biomechanical live at the Damnation Festival on October 15th.
