The L.I.F.E. Project had added another entry to their growing pile of covers this year, having just rolled out their take on the Led Zeppelin classic “Immigrant Song“. That duo consists of Josh Rand (Stone Sour) and Casandra Carson (Paralandra, Casandra’s Crossing). Rand said of taking on this track:
“Like ‘Call Me,’ we never planned to release ‘Immigrant Song.’ In 2019, we moved into a new house, with a new home studio. Really, the music was all put together with me just messing around with the vintage gear I had. Once I started working with Casandra, I asked her if she wanted to take a shot at this for the fun of it.”
Carson went on to add of her unconventional introduction to the song:
“Ironically, the first time I remember hearing ‘Immigrant Song‘ was in Shrek the Third, haha!! The second I heard Snow White sing that Viking war cry, my soul and my senses lit up like I’d been struck by lightning. My dad told me it was a song by Led Zeppelin, and I became as obsessed as a kid who just tried chocolate for the first time. I couldn’t get enough. Years later, when I started performing in bands, ‘Immigrant Song‘ remained at the top of my list of songs I wanted to cover. It was only fitting that I would suggest it to Josh, as well, when we first began working together. I guess now I’ll have to watch Shrek the Third again to celebrate our new release.”
Recent releases from The L.I.F.E. Project have included covers of Suicidal Tendencies and Blondie.
