The Glitch Mob Bows X Games Anthem

RELEASE OFFICIAL REMIX OF METALLICA’S “LORDS OF SUMMER”

SELECTED AS ANTHEM OF THE X GAMES AUSTIN 2015

Metallica, Nicki Minaj, & The Glitch Mob To Headline X Games Austin

June 4th through 7th, electronic/rock trio The Glitch Mob will be headlining at X Games Austin 2015 alongside Nicki Minaj and recently-announced headliners Metallica. To prepare the masses for this titanic clash of music and action sports, The Glitch Mob have just released a fiery remix of Metallica’s “Lords of Summer,” which is being used as X Games Austin 2015’s official anthem and is featured in the ad campaign for the event that launched this week. It will also be integrated into the ABC and ESPN telecasts and The Glitch Mob’s Sunday performance at Circuit of The Americas.

The Glitch Mob have remixed the song in headbanging electro style, creating a fitting homage that retains a definite metal/hard rock influence.

“Metallica is one of the greatest, heaviest, and most significant bands of all time. They defined heavy music as we know it today,” said The Glitch Mob. “We listened to their catalog religiously. “And Justice For All” is one of the greatest albums ever—it has an immersive narrative, deep emotion, and gnarly power.  Our mission has always been to bring that same raw energy into our own electronic music. It was a true honor to remix Metallica: to collaborate with our heroes.”

The trio has also announced a string of spring and summer tour dates, including festival appearances at Sasquatch, Electric Zoo, and Northcoast, co-headlining California shows with Chromeo at Santa Barbara Bowl and Berkeley’s legendary Greek Theater, and performances at both HARD Red Rocks and HARD Summer, as well as several one-off shows. All dates are listed below, and keep an eye out for more special announcements coming soon.
