DATELINE: October 22^nd 2025 – Silver Lining Music to release No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All onNovember 14^th. The third single from the all-star compilation is from thrash metal icons Testament, the full-throttle cover of Metallica’s anthem ‘Seek & Destroy’.

You can divide the history of heavy metal into two distinct chapters: ‘before Metallica’ and ‘after Metallica’. When the Four Horsemen galloped to the top of dozens of countries’ charts with their self-titled album in 1991, they became the new measuring stick for their genre, and their standard is one that no hard rockers since have matched, let alone outdone. Yet – for all the sellout tours, broken records and reinventive efforts over the last 45 years – they started the same way almost every other noisy band do: ferocious kids driven to shove metal up your ass.

No Life ’Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ’Em All unites Metallica’s favourites, their peers, and the generations that came next. The influence that the likes of Diamond Head and Saxon had on thrash’s giants has been well-documented. Meanwhile, Testament forged their careers in the California metal trenches alongside the band – so it’s only fitting they appear on this compilation, delivering an explosive rendition of the track that has been igniting crowds since day one.

“We had fun covering Metallica’s song ‘Seek and Destroy’.” Comments long-standing member and vocalist Chuck Billy. “Songs like this started a Movement!”

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is a colossal celebration of the most propulsive debut album in heavy metal history, re-imagined by the legends who inspired it and the generations that came in its wake!

The veteran likes of Saxon, Diamond Head, and Motörhead, (three of Metallica’s favourite bands) are joined by rising stars such as Tailgunner and Swedish prog metallers Soen to create a who’s-who of heavy music, with each performer lending their unique sound to one classic track. Contributions from thrash giants Testament, ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, and New Wave of British Heavy Metal linchpins Tygers of Pan Tang show the label looking beyond their own artists to amass the greatest lineup possible. Joining the super star line-up are the legendary Raven (closing with the thundering anthemic “Metal Militia”) who were part of Metallica’s first-ever tour, 1983’s famous Kill ‘Em All For One venture.

The first single, ‘The Four Horsemen’, a particularly confrontational cover by hard rockers The Almighty, which propelled the band to go back into studio for the first time with the founding line-up since 1991, is out now. Watch / listen to ‘The Four Horsemen’ at this location.

The second single ‘(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth’, is a monumental cover of Metallica’s instrumental epic by the legendary David Ellefson. Watch/ listen to ‘(Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth’ at this location – video by Pamela Parks, edit by Freakshot Film.

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is an ambitious achievement worthy of Metallica’s game-changing legacy. By the fans and for the fans, it reaffirms the Four Horsemen’s ironclad influence – and its stacked roster continues the band’s mission to shove metal up your ass!
