Foo Fighters have shared an unexpected new song, ‘March Of The Insane’, which takes the band into unfamiliar territory – thrash metal.The track was quietly released earlier today (February 15) under the alias Dream Widow and features frontman Dave Grohl growling his way through the lyrics.“Sing in a villainous choir / Join in a chorus of pain,” Grohl sings on the track. “Rise in a ruinous army / Dance to the march of the insane”.In the YouTube description box, the track is said to be from Dream Widow’s “never released self-titled album”.

Listen to it below now.‘March Of The Insane’ arrives 10 days before the release of Foo Fighters’ upcoming movie, Studio 666.

Earlier today, the band launched a new merch line to celebrate the film – a “horror-comedy” that will follow Dave Grohl and his bandmates as they move into a mansion in Encino, California that is “steeped in grisly rock and roll history” to record a new album.The merchandise collection includes a selection of t-shirts and accessories – a mug, blanket and pins all featuring signature artwork from the film.

This weekend, Foo Fighters streamed a pre-recorded gig at the Los Angeles Convention Center, broadcasting it as an “immersive 180-degree VR concert” on the band’s Facebook and Instagram pages (AKA the ‘Metaverse’) and the Horizon Venues app.During the gig, the group played 10 songs, including a small number that don’t usually feature in their setlist.
