Arch Enemy and Kreator kicked off their joint tour on October 23 in Maryland, where both groups will be selling a limited edition 7" split. One side will feature Kreator's song "Iron Destiny" and the other will feature Arch Enemy's super heavy cover of the classic Judas Priest jam "Breaking the Law." Arch Enemy clearly set out to make the song their own and changed it up just enough to where you know what they're covering, but it's an Arch Enemy song through and through.
Guitarist Michael Amott explained how the cover came to be in an interview with Revolver.
“When we do covers, we have a tendency to pick somewhat obscure songs. However, the iconic ‘Breaking The Law’ anthem by Judas Priest is anything but that, of course! This just started with a fun jam in the studio, and during the process we tried to make it sound as Arch Enemy as possible–it turned out pretty f’n cool and here it is. Enjoy!”
Let's jam!
