Hello Steemians, it is time for your weekly dose of Heavy Metal!
This weeks band is a double whammy, because it's a Megadeth cover of a Thin Lizzy song. Most of you Metalheads already know Megadeth, but not everyone knows they've been putting out some really good material over the last 9 years. Megadeth is my favourite band, narrowly beating out Judas Priest, and there are very few songs by the band I don't like. Tonight I will be shining the spotlight on a song from their 14th Studio album, Super Collider.
The song in question is called Cold Sweat. It was originally released by Thin Lizzy in 1983 on the album Thunder and Lightning. One of the amazing things about this song is how oldschool it sounds. It definitely has a classic rock feel, but still is heavy enough to get the body moving. This heaviness is amplified even furthur now that Megadeth has covered it.
One of the things I've noticed about Dave Mustaine is how his voice has changed over the years. I get how age affects many things, but I still miss his aggressive growling from the 80's. This song sounds surprisingly like his old vocals, and that sells me on the song even more.
So, here is the song. I hope you all enjoy it :) If anyone has comments on the song or a song of their own to suggest, feel free to do so in the comments :)
I did one of these last week as well, and you can check it out here if you'd like
100% Power
