Extrema Cover Judas Priest’s ‘The Ripper’ With Download Proceeds To Covid-19 Relief

During their studio sessions for their latest album ‘Headbanging Forever’, Italy’s Extrema recorded a cover version of Judas Priest’s ‘The Ripper’, and will be donating all profits from downloads and streams to the Italian Civil Protection, who are the frontlines in the battle against this virus, co-ordinating the nation’s pandemic response with Italy’s Ministry of Health.

Mastermind and Guitarist Tommy Massara comments “Our cover of ‘The Ripper’ was originally conceived as a bonus track of ‘Headbanging Forever’ for the Japanese market. As we did not find the sought license in Japan, the song was closed in a drawer. To me, Coronavirus is like Jack the Knife hitting you from behind, so I felt the need to release the song as a digital single. All the royalty’s proceeds will be donated to the Italian Civil Protection. I discussed it with band members Gabri, Frullo and Tiziano, and they accepted enthusiastically. I hope you enjoy our version of this timeless Judas Priest’s classic hit”.
