August Burns Red is really keeping themselves busy these days. From new versions of old songs and System of a Down covers, to sort-of staring in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles, the band is just constantly in the spotlight.
Now they're back once again with their cover of the Westworld theme song. Guitarist JB Brubaker said he's been working on the cover on and off since 2018, and but found some time during the pandemic to get things wrapped up.
"The soundtrack to Westworld has been a favorite of mine as long as the HBO series has existed," said Brubaker. "I started working on a metal version of the main theme to the show back in 2018, but pushed it to the backburner as other projects took priority.
"When COVID sent us into lockdown, the first thing I did with my time at home was finish the Westworld cover. We recorded it in the summer of 2020 and I'm really proud of how it came out. I hope fans of the show will feel we did it justice!"
