THE L.I.F.E. Project, the project of Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand and Paralandra vocalist/guitarist Casandra Carson, have shared their cover of Metallica‘s hit One.
The track features on the band’s recently released covers EP Big F.O.U.R.. The EP also features covers of Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer.
“Recording a Big F.O.U.R. cover EP is something that I have wanted to do for a very very long time, and last Fall I decided to finally do it with THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT,” Rand explains. “Without these four bands (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer) my musical career wouldn’t be where it is today. In some ways you could say this project is paying homage to them or, how I see it, a return to where it all started in my parents house as a teenager trying to learn just a piece of the music. Each of the four songs that I picked were pivotal in my development as a musician. Whether it was learning the intro to One on guitar, drums on Symphony [Of Destruction] or bass lines in Caught in A Mosh. This EP was a true love and passion project for myself. I feel I captured the vibe and the spirit of the original but with THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT sound. Hopefully you hear it too!”
