FROM SILVER LINING MUSIC’S
ALL-STAR TRIBUTE

NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER – A TRIBUTE TO METALLICA’S KILL ‘EM ALL

DATELINE: September 11th 2025 – Silver Lining Music to release No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All onNovember 14th. The second single from the all-star compilation is David Ellefson’s monumental cover of Metallica’s instrumental epic ‘(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth’.

“It was a total honor to be asked to participate in this album, especially to record the iconic bass composition ‘(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth’ by the one and only Cliff Burton” comments David Ellefson. “I was able to borrow one of Cliff's Aria Pro signature bass guitars and signature Morley fuzz/wah pedal for the session to replicate his sharp, yet thunderous tone he created on the original recording. It is my hope that this homage will highlight Cliff's larger than life personality and that his music will always live on through this unique and iconic song he gave to the world.



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.

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 legacy – and its stacked roster continues the band’s mission to shove metal up your ass!

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All track-listing:



Hit The Lights (Tailgunner)
The Four Horsemen (The Almighty)
Motorbreath (Soen)
Jump In The Fire (Tygers Of Pan Tang)
(Anesthesia) - Pulling Teeth (David Ellefson)

Twisted Sister to reunite for 50th anniversary tour!
https://www.facebook.com/share/1EY6wj714U/

Twisted Sister has officially reunited for a 50th anniversary tour in 2026.

Vocalist Dee Snider, founding guitarist/band manager Jay Jay French, and lead guitarist Eddie Ojeda will be joined by former Twister Sister member Joe 'Seven' Franco on drums and bassist Russell Pzütto for the global trek.

The 'We're Not Gonna Take It' hitmakers have vowed to “storm stages worldwide” in 2026 to mark their half-century milestone a decade on from their farewell ‘Forty and F--- It’ tour.

Jay Jay French says: "We are proud to celebrate a milestone that once felt unthinkable: a 50-year anniversary!! We have created a music and performance legacy that has and will continue to inspire millions of fans around the world. Twisted Forever, Forever Twisted!"

Dee Snider adds: "If you're lucky enough to be in a band that people still want to see after fifty years(!), how can you not answer the call? In 2026, Twisted F---ing Sister will hit stages around the world because WE STILL WANNA ROCK!!"

Twisted Sister reunited for a one-off performance at their Metal Hall of Fame induction on Thursday 26th January 2023 at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California.

Dee Snider previously said he’s “one hundred percent committed” to Twisted Sister not reuniting permanently but he wasn't against standalone shows.

As recently as March 2025, Snider slammed KISS’s fanclub-only comeback concert in Las Vegas, calling it "insulting" to fans.
