Slash has lent his talents to composer Bear McCreary’s new song “The End of Tomorrow,” off his upcoming concept album The Singularity.
You can listen to the 11-minute epic below.
McCreary — whose resume includes scores for Battlestar Galactica, Outlander, The Walking Dead, Call of Duty: Vanguard and Godzilla: King of the Monsters — described “The End of Tomorrow” as a “tribute to iconic rock anthems like ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘November Rain’” and promised that “Slash's solo will melt your face!” Indeed, the guitarist delivers searing, cinematic leads to accompany the soaring vocals supplied by McCreary’s brother, Brendan McCreary.
