Volbeat picked a unique song to cover for the upcoming Metallica "Black Album" covers album, The Metallica BlackList. They picked "Don't Tread on Me," Metallica's first (?) pro-war song in their catalog following anti-war songs like "Disposable Heroes" and "One" on previous albums.
Still, Volbeat definitely put their own spin on it and this is definitely an album I look forward to giving a once over to hear all the different interpretations. Listen below.
