Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesMembers of Coheed and Cambria, Tool, Mastodon and Primus have joined forces for a massive cover of the Rush song “Anthem.”
The all-star lineup includes Coheed vocalist Claudio Sanchez, Tool drummer Danny Carey, Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher, and Primus frontman Les Claypool, as well as Stephen Brodsky of the band Mutoid Man and online metal personality Gwarsenio Hall.
In addition to forming the dream band for people who love irregular time signatures, the cover is also raising money for charity, as each participating artist is donating their fee to the Cancer Research Institute.
You can watch the “Anthem” performance streaming now on YouTube.
