Extinction A.D. have been dropping a new tracks regularly throughout the year, but today’s arrival from the crossover outfit instead finds them serving up a cover. The group have taken on “Feed My Frankenstein“, a track made famous by Alice Cooper in the early 90s and notably was included in the comedy film, ‘Wayne’s World‘.
Extinction A.D. vocalist/guitarist Rick Jimenez said of the decision to cover this song in time for spooky season:
“I’m sure every band has spent hours in the van BS-ing about, ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we covered THIS song?’ Anytime we’ve done that, ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ would come up half as a gag. We all grew up with and love the movie ‘Wayne’s World‘ that this song appears in and the placement of it in that movie is rad. Once this ‘one single a month’ idea came up, we knew we wanted to do a cover for October in the spirit of Halloween and we humped at making this the choice after years of joking about it. Adding a bit of our flavor to this song with the heaviness of the guitars and my spin vocally, while adding the keyboards in a faithful way was absolutely ridiculous and super fun. So much of what we do musically is deadly serious so it was enjoyable to do something purely lighthearted.”
