MEEK IS MURDER Celebrates KIRK HAMMETT’s Birthday With METALLICA Cover; Audio

Earlier this year, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett passed NYC grind trio Meek Is Murder some very nice words via mutual friend Jose Mangin of Sirius XM Liquid Metal.

Today is Kirk Hammett’s birthday and, in celebration, Meek Is Murder has released its raw rendition of Metallica’s 1988 banger, “Blackened”. In true MIM form, the cover clocks in at under two minutes, while still paying homage to the original favourite. The song was recorded at Spaceman Sound in Brooklyn, NY, with Tom Tierney and Alex Mead-Fox.

Check out Meek Is Murder’s cover of “Blackened” below:
