Pre-orders available here
Silver Lining Music to release No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All on November 14th. The first single is The Almighty’s blistering, full-throttle cover of Metallica’s legendary “The Four Horsemen”, the band’s first recorded work with their founding lineup since 1991, chosen by the band as both a nod to their roots and a declaration of intent.
“The Four Horsemen - by Metallica - got us back into the studio with the original lineup for the first time since 1991… Unbelievable!” lead singer and guitarist Ricky Warwick exclaims. “When the opportunity presented itself, it was really a no brainer, Metallica have been a huge influence for us… It was a bit nerve-wracking because we had not been in the studio for such a long time. We did the whole thing in a day and a half with as much power and passion as you would expect from The Almighty, it is such a powerful track. I think it turned out great, make sure you turn it up really, really loud!”

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is a colossal celebration of the most propulsive debut album in heavy metal history, re-imagined by the legends who inspired it and the generations that came in its wake!
The veteran likes of Saxon, Diamond Head, and Motörhead, (three of Metallica’s favourite bands) are joined by rising stars such as Tailgunner and Swedish prog metallers Soen to create a who’s-who of heavy music, with each performer lending their unique sound to one classic track. Contributions from thrash giants Testament, ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, and New Wave of British Heavy Metal linchpins Tygers of Pan Tang show the label looking beyond their own artists to amass the greatest lineup possible. Joining the super star line-up are the legendary Raven (closing with the thundering anthemic “Metal Militia”) who were part of Metallica’s first-ever tour, 1983’s famous Kill ‘Em All For One venture.
No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is an ambitious achievement worthy of Metallica’s game-changing legacy. By the fans and for the fans, it reaffirms the Four Horsemen’s ironclad status – and its stacked roster continues the band’s mission to shove metal up your ass.
