LAMB OF GOD Release Cover Of MEGADETH's “Wake Up Dead” By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, April 8, 2022 @ 8:38 AM
And now, one week before the second installment of The Metal Tour of the Year is set to commence… LAMB OF GOD releases “Wake Up Dead” featuring Dave Mustaine and the members of MEGADETH. LAMB OF GOD vocalist D. Randall Blythe, guitarists Mark Morton and Willie Adler, bassist John Campbell and drummer Art Cruz recorded the MEGADETH classic remotely and recruited the MEGADETH frontman himself to feature guitar and vocals on the song.
Mustaine lent his signature vocal to the track, with lead guitar work on the various solos by LAMB OF GOD’s own Mark Morton, as well as MEGADETH’s Mustaine and Kiko Loureiro. The recording also includes vocal contributions from MEGADETH members Kiko Loureiro, Dirk Verbeuren and James Lomenzo.

Dave Mustaine - "We had a blast playing with LAMB OF GOD on their cover of "Wake Up Dead". Almost as much fun as we’re going to have playing every night on Metal Tour Of The Year. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone!"
Mark Morton - ""Wake Up Dead" was a massively important song for me as an aspiring young guitar player. It was one of the first songs that began my lifelong love of thrash metal and helped reinforce for me that, while solos may be fun, my allegiance is to the RIFF! So you can imagine what a thrill it’s been for LAMB to cover this legendary song with Dave & the rest of the MEGADETH guys. Truly an honor. We all had a lot of fun putting this together and I think you can hear that energy in the track. I hope everybody enjoys this one and we can’t wait to see y’all on The Metal Tour of the Year."
Don’t miss MEGADETH and LAMB OF GOD on leg 2 of The Metal Tour of the Year with Special Guests TRIVIUM and IN FLAMES beginning April 9th in Las Vegas, NV before wrapping May 19th in Quebec City, QC, Canada.
