Connecticut-based metal powerhouse DEAD BY WEDNESDAY (DBW) released their new cover of the 1980s classic “No Easy Way Out,” originally performed by Robert Tepper and famously featured in the Rocky IV soundtrack. This electrifying remake is available worldwide across streaming platforms via Mindsnap Music (in partnership with Salt of the Earth and Combat Records) starting today, October 11, 2024.
The track debuted on SiriusXM’s “Corridor of Covers” on Liquid Metal on Thursday, October 3rd at 6 p.m. EST, with encore airings on Friday 10/4 (2 p.m.), Saturday 10/5 (10 p.m.), Sunday 10/6 (4 p.m.), and Tuesday 10/8 (10 a.m.). Fans can also stream it on the SiriusXM app between October 3rd and 17th. Don’t miss it!
“We all love the Rocky films—who doesn’t?! When the idea came up to cover this track, we started jamming it our way, and it felt super fun. Plus, it sounded damn cool in metal! That’s when we decided to record it,” says bassist Mike Modeste.
In addition to the new song release, DBW has exciting news for fans! They’ll be hitting the road in January 2025 for their highly anticipated BLIZZARD BASH TOUR 2025, alongside West Coast metal legends SKINLAB. This intense winter tour will run from January 8-12, bringing the heat to the Northeast with select local bands supporting at each show. The BLIZZARD BASH tradition, which began nearly two decades ago, is centered around drummer Opus’ birthday and has grown into a highly sought-after indoor music festival.
The tour’s centerpiece show will take place at the iconic Toad’s Place in New Haven, CT, a legendary venue that has hosted the annual BLIZZARD BASH party for years. This event, spanning two stages and featuring out-of-state visitors, has become a staple in the New England metal scene.
