Das ”Metal Against Coronavirus” Projekt, bei dem bereits zahllose Musiker mitgemacht haben, ist fast so alt wie die Pandemie selbst und die Macher haben zum (erhofften) Abschluss noch einmal bekannte Größen des Metals zusammengerufen, um einen gemeinsamen Track für Projekte im Kampf gegen das Virus zu unterstützen. Bei den Aufnahmen zun dem namensgebenden Song ‘Metal Against Coronavirus` sind angetreten:
Rob Cavestany (Death Angel) – Lead Gitarre
Diva Satanica (Nervosa / Bloodhunter) – Vocals
Harold Gielen (Legion Of The Damned ) – Bass
Kike Valderrama (Headcrusher / Sol de Sangre) – Vocals
Chalo Rpo (Sol de Sangre) – Drums
Jordi Creus (Pánico al Miedo) – Gitarre
“The song “Metal Against CoronaVirus” was supposed to be the culmination of this colossal project that has taken over two and a half years of our lives to complete. There have been more than 100 metal artists from every continent in this world (except Antarctica) participating in this tremendous undertaking. But this is not the end, we still have three more songs/videos that were delayed due to reasons beyond our control. After being quiet for a while, we decided to go ahead and share this song and video in the meantime. We love it and it has a special place in our hearts. A thrashy and heavy song, a gnarly and gory video, guest musicians admired by the metal community and cameos by metal artists we adore in this genre. To reiterate, we do not pay a PR firm or metal magazines to promote this project. We rely on word of mouth and your support. Spread the word and invite your friends to watch the video. We think it is a really beautiful piece of work. Stay healthy, stay metal and take care of yourselves and others if you can.“

Lyrics:
Living in fear and isolation,
loneliness has driven us to alienation.
Loved ones away
Some of them passed away
depression is real. It has killed my friends.
Places are slowly becoming ghost towns
Six feet distance, gloves and face masks.
It’s sadness today
while you sit in your room
because all we think it’s that nothing can help.
Raise your sword and shout
Metal Against
join our army and fight
Metal Against Coronavirus
crush its head with strength
Metal Against
We’ll destroy the beast
Metal Against Coronavirus
United
unbeatable
We will triumph
unbeatable
The beast will fall
Metal Against Coronavirus
The human toll of misinformation
has really spread all around the nations.
Stop drinking bleach, stop eating soap
Confusion is taking absolute control
Fertile ground for conspiracy theories
Resulting in arsons and fatal assaults
phone towers on fire
racism galore
Transphobia and fracking
What is going on?
Raise your sword and shout
Metal Against
join our army and fight
Metal Against Coronavirus
crush its head with strength
Metal Against
We’ll destroy the beast
Metal Against Coronavirus
United
unbeatable
We will triumph
United
unbeatable
The beast will fall
