Over recent months the Chicago based quartet Aeraco have been in the studio patiently wait to drop the newest addition to their catalogue of music in the form of a heavy riff driven cover of the iconic Queen hit We Will Rock You featuring Diamond Head‘s frontman Rasmus Bom Andersen. This cover is based on a not so well known version of the B side ‘Fast version’ that Queen also recorded.
“Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest vocalists and frontmen of all time. His music resonates to this day with millions of listeners all over the world. We are all huge fans of Queen and when we decided to release a cover, this song seemed like the perfect way for us to not only pay a tribute to him in our own way but to fulfil a dream and be able to perform a Queen song ourselves. We mentioned the cover to our good friend Ras (Rasmus Bom Andersen – Diamond Head) and asked him to feature on the track. We were thrilled when he said yes and are very proud of what we have created. We took the lesser known version of the iconic track and infused it with our own style and we hope Freddie would approve!” – Ace, Aeraco
