Infrared - 'The Metal Inquisition' (Piledriver cover)

We're the metal inquisition,
We've come to search you out
Once you to see things our way,
You won't have any doubt
You better wear some leather,
You better wear some chains
Don't try to resist us,
It'll only bring you pain

We'll hunt you down like animals,
We're going to have a chase
We'll beat you till you're senseless,
We'll never leave a trace
We'll round you up for trial,
We'll bust you on the spot
We'll treat you all like criminals,
You'll be a sorry lot

And if you're not a metal head
You might as well be dead
We're the metal inquisition...
We sentence you to death...
By guillotine!

We'll take you to our leaders,
We'll take you to our court
Arrest you in the name of hell
And play a deadly sport
And if we find you guilty,
Your punishment is death
You better look the other way,
You'd better hold your breath

And if you're not a metal head
You might as well be dead
We're the metal inquisition...
We sentence you to death...
By guillotine!

So if you're in a disco or in a country bar
You better get the hell out,
We know who you are
You better get some metal
And play it really loud
You have the chance to join us,
The mighty and the proud

And if you're not a metal head
You might as well be dead
We're the metal inquisition...
We sentence you to death...
By guillotine!

Infrared: Καναδέζικο thrash metal συγκρότημα που δραστηριοποιήθηκε την περίοδο που μεσουρανούσαν οι (αποκαλούμενοι ως) Big 4 (Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax). Δραστηριοποιήθηκε στο δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα με απολογισμό μόλις ένα demo ["R.I.P. (Recognition in Power)" 1988].

Προ οκταετίας επανήλθε δριμύτερο. Δύο EPs και τρεις "ολοκληρωμένοι" δίσκοι ο απολογισμός της επιστροφής τους. Το πλέον πρόσφατο πόνημά τους είναι ep δύο τραγουδιών. Τιτλοφορείται "The Metal Inquisition", "βγήκε" προ ημερών (24 Δεκεμβρίου 2022) και είναι αφιερωμένο στην μνήμη του Gord "Piledriver" Kirchin (την "ψυχή" των Piledriver), ο οποίος απεβίωσε φέτος μία ημέρα πριν τα 61α γενέθλιά του (από καρκίνο του πνεύμονα), με τους Καναδούς να μας λένε σχετικά:

«This is a tribute EP to the great Gord Kirchin of the infamous Piledriver. The EP is free, but we ask, if you can spare a few dollars, to make a donation to a cancer charity of your choice or to Ryan's Well. We thank you in advance.»
