Metal singers unite for Sinatra tribute album

by Ciaran Thompson

Though “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister and Frank Sinatra’s “It Was A Very Good Year” might be from opposite musical planets, Dee Snider is going to have a shot at the latter for a new tribute album to Ol’ Blue Eyes.

Cleverly titled SIN-atra, the tribute album will feature various heavy metal and hard rock singers from bands like Anthrax, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, and Scars On Broadway performing renditions of some of Sinatra’s most celebrated songs.

It truly is a dream come true for those fans of harder/louder music who may have a soft spot for ’50s jazz and swing music. NME reports that the 12-song album will be released on March 28. View the tracklist below.
