Extinction A.D. Unleashes a Thrash-tastic Halloween Anthem with 'Feed My Frankenstein' Cover

Horror doesn't just haunt our dreams; it now thrashes through our speakers, thanks to Extinction A.D. The hardcore thrash juggernauts are shaking the cobwebs off this Halloween with a monstrous cover of Alice Cooper's iconic anthem, “Feed My Frankenstein.” Just in time for ghoulish gatherings and graveyard raves, this track is set to become the ultimate soundtrack for metalheads this spooky season.

Rick Jimenez, the band’s frontman and guitarist, reveals the genesis of this eerie project. 'Every band has those van conversations, right? You know, tossing around ideas about which classic tracks deserve a heavy makeover. 'Feed My Frankenstein' was always a recurring gag among us, especially with its memorable cameo in the cult classic Wayne’s World. When we kicked off our 'one single a month' plan, it felt like the stars aligned for us to finally pay homage to this track in true Halloween spirit.'

Jimenez reflects on the process of injecting their distinct sound into the Cooper classic: 'We wanted to keep the essence while cranking up the heaviness. The guitars are brutal, my vocals have that extra bite, and we even incorporated keyboards in a way that stays true to the original vibe. It was an absolute blast to shift gears from our usually serious themes and dive into something fun and lighthearted.'

Now available as a digital single alongside a wicked lyric video, Extinction A.D.'s offering is poised to elevate your October festivities—from haunted houses to midnight mosh pits. This rendition proves that even a legendary monster like Cooper's creation needs a fresh dose of adrenaline every now and then.

But the horror doesn’t stop here. For those who want to relive the nostalgia, check out the original music video for Alice Cooper’s “Feed My Frankenstein,” which came out in 1992 and still gives chills down the spine, especially when paired with the iconic scenes from Wayne’s World.
