Listen To Members Of Rammstein, Faith No More, Stabbing Westward & More Cover The Beatles’ “Come Together” To Raise Ukrainian Support Aid
Members of Rammstein, Faith No More, Stabbing Westward, and more have literally “come together” to cover The Beatles’ famous tune for a Ukraine charity single dubbed “Come Together (We Will Stop You).”
The song, which also works in elements from Queen’s “We will Rock You,” re-imagines the two famous songs with a heavy industrial-rock sound. The mashup features Richard Kruspe (Rammstein), Bill Gould (Faith No More), Chris Connelly (Ministry/Pigface), Christopher Hall (Stabbing Westward), and Walter Flakus (Stabbing Westward) as the main backers of the track, among others. All proceeds from the song will support UNICEF as it aids the humanitarian refugee crisis caused by Russia’s current invasion of Ukraine.
“This song is a simple and direct message to the millions of people who are currently suffering in Ukraine and beyond. You are not alone. We see you,” said COP International Records founder Christian Petke, who helped oversee the project. “The success of songs like ‘We Are the World’ and ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas’ directly spawned the Live Aid concerts, which raised millions of dollars for those who desperately needed it. So, while we are obviously excited about this new song’s immediate ability to raise awareness and money, we’d like to think that ‘Come Together’ is only the first step of many. The simple act of supporting one song can help spread a message of hope and compassion around the entire world.”
