Bay Area groove metal crushers Skinlab have returned with a gnarly cover of Hatebreed's hardcore classic "Last Breath," out now via the band.

Check out their lyric video below:

Produced, mixed and mastered by Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Static-X and Deftones), the cover is a full reimagining of the song taken from Hatebreed's landmark 1997 album Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire.

The song also marks the recording debut of new guitarist Angelo Miles, who has joined the metal veterans on their last several tours.

Vocalist/bassist Steev Esquivel comments:

"'Last Breath'" is one of those metal anthems that hits you in the chest every time. We've been Hatebreed fans from day one. Our boy Brett Makowski — Buzzard — turned us on to them on our first tour. We were instantly blown away by the pure aggression and energy. 'Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire' is one of the heaviest albums to this day. I've been wanting to do 'Last Breath' for years."

Hatebreed issued their official stamp of approval, with guitarist Wayne Lozinak commenting:

"Loving this cover of 'Last Breath!' Some different sounds in there going on too, putting a cool twist on it and taking it to a new place. If you haven't heard it yet, go check it out!"

The band recently hit the road as direct support for New Orleans metal legends Exhorder for an 18-date run wrapping up April 19 in Cadillac, Michigan.
