This may be the most ridiculous Tiger Mendoza project to date but hopefully you’ll agree it’s for a good cause.

In December 2021, a good friend of mine, Daniel Crawford, died quite suddenly due to complications related to a short battle with cancer. Dan was due to go into a Banbury Hospice in Oxfordshire, UK for palliative care but unfortunately he passed away before he could get there.

Dan was a massive Metallica fan and even flew from the UK to San Francisco for the S&M2 shows which he loved so when Dan passed away and I was thinking "Well what do I do now?", as a musician and producer myself, the first thing that came to mind was "Why don't I cover some Metallica?".

So that's what I did. I pretty much spent the Christmas holidays creating a medley of Orion and Enter Sandman as a form of remembrance and self therapy more than anything else. I had absolutely no intention of releasing it at the time, it was just a way of processing what had happened but the more I thought about it, the more a release seemed like a good idea with a view to raising money for the hospice Dan would have attended.

Once I decided to go ahead with the release I got some friends involved from the local Oxford music scene and what we've ended up with is an amazing collaboration, mixing our love of musical styles from rock and metal to hyper pop to electronica into an 8 minute epic!
I may be known locally for my collaborations but never attempted anything on this scale before and I'm very pleased with how it has come together! Helping with the track project we have Daniel Clear, Emma Hunter, The Subtheory, Means of Production and Dream Phone (with a sneaky guest spot from my wife Emilie) all of which agreed to help with practically no hesitation (I do also want to say a big thank you to Stefano, Tamara and AJ for all of their support on this project as well!).

This has truly been a labour of love over the past year or so to pull together and I am incredibly grateful to everyone that's helped with the track. The hope is that it will raise some money, even if it's just a small amount, for the Banbury hospice who do incredible work in the local community. The track will be available to download from tigermendoza.bandcamp.com on Friday 2nd December just in time for December’s Bandcamp day so we can get even more money.
