A SOUND OF THUNDER Streaming MANOWAR Cover By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, August 13, 2015 @ 2:02 PM
As if MANOWAR weren't controversial enough among metal heads, the song "Pleasure Slave", a bonus track from MANOWAR's sixth album Kings Of Metal, is infamous for its lyrical content. "Joey DeMaio wrote one of the most hilariously sexist songs of all time," stated A SOUND OF THUNDER vocalist Nina Osegued. "And that's cool, but turnabout is fair play. This one's for you, Joey!"
"There is no greater joy than taking a hilariously misogynistic piece of music and turning it upside-down," Osegueda continued. "The composition itself is great, but I always wanted it to be a little faster. The vocals were a challenge, but I had fun using my low register more than usual. As for the background vocals, we had a great time recording a bunch of our male fans making horrible orgasm noises. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life!"
A SOUND OF THUNDER guitarist Josh Schwartz also commented on the track: "Ironically, this song has probably given me more pleasure over the years than any other. The lyrics are so ridiculously over the top, and Eric Adams delivers them with such conviction, that I can't help but crack up when I hear it...we are talking laughing so hard I'd be in tears sometimes! So full disclosure: we actually love MANOWAR and embrace their cheese, and just thought it would be fun to turn this one on its head. Our fans paid for the production of this song so we're releasing it for free to the whole world to hopefully spread some smiles and laughter. Hail, kill, and enjoy!"
"The story of Shadowman, his alter-ego Jack Boniface, and the many characters in his world inspired us to create what we believe is our best album to date," said A SOUND OF THUNDER guitarist Josh Schwartz. "We let the story lead us to places our music has never been before, combining all the elements of supernatural horror, drama, action and adventure found in the comics. Of course everything has gone through our own unique Thunderous filter, and all the familiar ASOT elements will be there. The Shadowman's harrowing journey demanded no less!"
A SOUND OF THUNDER was formed in Washington, DC in 2009. Their most recent album The Lesser Key Of Solomon was released on September 9th, 2014 via Mad Neptune Records and debuted at #43 on the Billboard Heatseeker’s Albums chart.
