I guess this came out a couple months ago, but I just saw it today. He does Rusty Cage with Bill Kelliher of Mastodon, Mark Menghi of Metal Allegience and William Duvall of AiC on vocals. I was very pleased with this cover and think you guys might be too.

I can’t embed YouTube for shit so here you go.

Sounds awesome!!! Duvall did a great job on the vocals, he does justice to Chris' amazing original take but he also sounds like himself. Same as he does with AIC. This guy is a monster talent.

Also, Bill's tone is ridiculous :love:

Agreed about Duvall. I was not familiar with his Comes With The Fall stuff and didn't catch him with Jerry's band, but I first heard him right around the time Black Gives Way To Blue was coming out and I was on board with that. Then a friend and I saw them at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit in 09. First song was Rain When I Die and they fucking brought it. Whole set was good but a stand out moment to me for William was when they did Love Hate Love and William just KILLED it, especially on the outro. So yeah, I've been a fan since.

And Bill's guitar tone is fucking monstrous! It's so damn good! Admittedly, I never followed much Mastodon and maybe I should. This was just beastly. All 4 guys were in top form playing wise too. I finally subscribed to Charlie's channel. He's done so many cool cover vids this last year (Mr. Speed by KISS, Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns from MLB to name a couple others) so I need to have this in my feed.

During this quarantine period, Charlie has been knocking the uploads out of the park. My favorite was the duet of Packaged Rebellion with John Bush, followed by the whole band doing Gung-Ho. Charlie Benante makes thrash drumming seem so fluid, with little effort.
