Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He is half man and half machine
Rides the metal monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A savior comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouds if thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evils going under deadly wheels
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Faster then a laser bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from the grave
With mankind resurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly wheels Painkiller
Ah

He is the Painkiller (killer)
This is the Painkiller (killer)
He is the Painkiller (killer)
This is the Painkiller (killer)

Pain, pain, killer, killer
Pain, pain, killer, killer

Can't stop the Painkiller
Pain (pain)

This was THE hardest song I've ever recorded on drums, but I'm so happy that I got to be a part of this cover with my friend, the one and only Erik Grönwall.
This guy has pipes like no one else. Serious power! Not to mention the hard-hitting production by master Jona Tee and the spot-on solo by Love Magnusson.

Thanks for all your nice comments! Keep 'em coming and keep spreading heavy metal to the world! 🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤

[garwex]

the guitar solo was perfectly nailed, the guitarist is really skilled!!!

[b.c.fields]

I've been a Priest fan for over 44 years, and I have to say, "I've listened to this version 60 + times in the last three weeks". You guys nailed the vibe on this one.

[brysant_]

As a huge Judas Priest fan, I usually expect the worst when I see someone attempting to do a cover to this song but you guys killed it.

[anthoneyschwoch]

Somebody needs to tell Rob about this. He would be touched and thoroughly amazed. He is the nicest guy in metal after all.. ✌️❤️🤘

[DyingTiger]

Came for the vocals, stayed for the guitar solo. Tipton-tier!

[dimitriskatsoulis]

The whole cover is insane, the singer nails it but the lead guitarist is exceptional! Hands down!

[whiteheatredhot]

Jaw dropping…..best Painkiller cover bar none. Vocals and guitars absolutely spot on.

[peevee]

From leukemia to Skid Row to deluxe. All hail Erik, the band kicks ass and Love is totally in the zone.

[anthonykiszka]

As someone who has listened to Painkiller thousands of times, from the first time putting the saw toothed CD in my car, this is one best covers I have heard. True to the original with only minor additions. All the musicians did and outstanding job.

[gregjohnson]

This guy is the best vocalist I've seen in a long time, Skid Row, don't let this one get away, you haven't sounded this good since Slave.

[swedisheinherjer]

It is pretty damn amazing that Grönvall has the vocal range to cover BOTH Rob Halford and Sebastian Bach.

[thfsaviation]

I saw Skid Row open for the Scorpions last year. This dude was perfection. I had heard he was good, but man, he could sing. I loved that show due to him.

[Patorishio]

Not only he nails the cover, but also doesn't limit himself to emulating Rob Halford, but puts his blend of singing the song without defacing it. Plus, man does he look great!

[rika]

Goosebumps!!
A massive, powerhouse, phenomenal cover!! You nailed it🤘
I also love guitar solo💜
Rob Halford would be proud of you🙏

[winsywalukow]

Wow...
Perfect for Erik and Awesome Solo Guitar

[vano]

I'm a die hard Priest fan and a vocalist, too. Excellent job. Congratulations.

[christerolausson]

What’s not to like about this cover? What musicianship! All participants did one hell of a job. Especially liked the solos with their own takes. Glenn Tipton approves! That I am sure of!

[roberttckr]

Everyone talking about singer what about that solo on guitar

[davefoster]

How can I give more than one thumbs up? Erik, Rock and Roll has needed you for a long time (your band is amazing too).
