Foo Fighters share Dream Widow thrash metal song 'March of the Insane'
Brutal stuff
Last updated 16th Feb 2022
Foo Fighters have shared a blisteringly heavy thrash metal track called 'March of the Insane' by a mysterious band called Dream Widow.
‘March of the Insane’ is lifted from Foo Fighters’ upcoming horror comedy movie Studio 666, which hits cinemas later this month.
In the movie, Dream Widow are a deceased fictional band who haunt Studio 666 and threaten the completion of Foo Fighters' new album and the very lives of the band members.
Dave Grohl comments: "The (Dream Widow) singer went crazy and murdered his whole band because of creative differences."
Aptly, ‘March of the Insane’ sounds like it was recorded by Lucifer himself and is packed with proper horrorshow lyrics delivered in a guttural howl.
Some of the standout lyrics read: “Life of scorn and malice / Misery, torture and dread / Worship the unholy spirit / Pray to the god of the dead / Banished by ten baneful witchеs / Each with malevolent hex / Rancid, pеrnicious and toxic / Madness, a mind now possessed.”
It's currently unclear exactly who Dream Widow are. The Foo Fighters blurb accompanying the video reads: ' From their never released self-titled album.'
Watch Dream Widow’s ‘March of the Insane’ lyric video:
In December, Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin unleashed a death metal cover of Lisa Loeb's 'Stay (I Missed You)' as part of their series of covers for The Hannukah Sessions.
Grohl started his fledgling career with hardcore punk band Scream and in the early 2000s launched his heavy metal side-project Probot.

Foo Fighters’ Studio 666 will hit cinemas across the UK and Ireland from Friday 25th February 2022.
Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee star as themselves in STUDIO 666, which is billed as The Beatles’ Hard Day’s Night meets The Living Dead.
Directed by BJ McDonnell and with script by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes, STUDIO 666 is based on a story by Dave Grohl.
A synopsis reads: “In Studio 666, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock history to record their much-anticipated 10th album. Once in the house, Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.”
