Kamasi Washington has released his cover of “My Friend of Misery”, set to appear on The Metallica Blacklist. The forthcoming tribute to the metal giants’ 1991 self-titled album is due out on September 10th in conjunction with the LP’s 30th anniversary.

The jazz saxophonist had previously debuted his rendition of the track on July 18th during a star-studded show at the Hollywood Bowl. In addition to special guest Thundercat, Washington welcomed Metallica’s own Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo for the live debut.

Washington’s studio offering finds the celebrated instrumentalist tapping into that same fury found on the landmark metal album. With a combination of dizzying saxophone leads, swirling drum breaks, and the captivating vocals of Patrice Quinn, the cover results in a unique musical concoction that combines the technical mastery of jazz with the raw emotion of hard rock.
