Hear System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian & Dethklok Members Team Up On “Godzilla” Cove
System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian can be heard on composer Bear McCreary‘s take on Blue Öyster Cult‘s “Godzilla“. Dethklok‘s Brendon Small & Bryan Beller & Gene Hoglan (also of Testament, etc.) also lend their talents to track. The cover was recorded for the upcoming ‘Godzilla: King Of Monsters‘ film, which opens on May 31st.
An official soundtrack album will arrive a week earlier on May 24th and feature other compositions by McCreary for the film. Tankian himself commented of his involvement:
