In regards to this new serving of death metal tributes, Six Feet Under founder Chris Barnes comments: "Get ready to have your ears violated and your mind blown! 'Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest' just crawled out of the Heavy Metal Cemetery! Having a good time playing music is what it's always been about since day one, and that's what the 'Graveyard Classics' albums are to me... a good fucking time! On this trip down memory lane, we cover songs from Judas Priest and Iron Maiden; the two greatest metal bands of all time. Ray Alder from Fates Warning did a guest background vocal appearance on 'Invader', our first single. Ray is a great friend, and an awesome vocalist, and I felt our differences in styles blended well together for the middle section and added some harmony to the rawness. I hope you all enjoy the band's twist on these legendary songs!" Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest track-listing: Side A: Judas Priest 01. Night Crawler 02. Starbreaker 03. Genocide 04. Invader 05. Never Satisfied Side B: Iron Maiden 06. Murders in the Rue Morgue 07. Prowler 08. Flash of the Blade 09. The Evil That Men Do 10. Stranger in a Strange Land 11. Total Eclipse
