Ice-T Gives 'Turn Down for What' A Metal Makeover

(Radio.com) You've heard the Star Wars version. You've made it through the voting awareness video. Now, you can enjoy the inevitable metal version of "Turn Down for What" with the release of Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 6, the long-running series from Fearless Records featuring rock bands of many dispositions covering the pop songs of today, along with other compilations of country, classic rock and even Christmas covers.

And perhaps the song to get the most attention is Upon a Burning Body's version of "Turn Down for What," which also features rapper and Body Count frontman Ice-T.

Upon a Burning Body's "Turn Down for What" doesn't deviate too much from the source material. The electronic blips of DJ Snake and Lil Jon's original are replaced with grooving metal riffs that ape the original, while frontman Danny Leal's screams mix with Ice-T's rhymes. There's even a quick insert of Metallica's "Sad But True" toward the end, in case you needed a song to try to mash up with "Turn Down for What" in the future.

In other words, if your "Turn Down for What" needed less Lil Jon shouting and more guttural growling (and a lot more profanity), you've found your match. Check it out here.
