Knife comment the single “Metalized Blood”:
“This rendition of the true metal gem that is ‘Metalized Blood’ is our tribute to one of the most influential and best German extreme metal bands: Desaster. This track summarizes what extreme music is all about. It is a song for the true maniacs. We are more than proud to have Desaster’s very own Guido “Sataniac” Wissmann and Sacred Steel’s Gerrit P. Mutz delivering shredding vocals on our version of this masterpiece! Brothers of Metal, Warriors of Steel!”
