The album also features the previous singles "In The Shadows" and "Spiderweb", as well as some amazing guests including Gary Holt, Trevor Dunn, Ra Diaz and Alex Skolnick.
About the new single, Dave says, "My first concert was May 25, 1980. Scorpions opening for Ted Nugent’s ‘Scream Dream’ tour. We(Slayer) had covered a couple Scorpions songs in the early years, but I never would have thought of re-imagining one of their songs at that time. Now it seems like the most natural thing to do.
The idea to re-create ‘Animal Magnetism’ came to me late one night. I could hear Paula’s sultry voice, the song taking on a slightly industrial feel... and I could fully hear Gary Holt play this insane lead. It’s been really incredible to see this idea come to life.
To release this at the same time this iconic band is celebrating 60 years is a perfect way for me to thank them for an inspiring first show in 1980... and for all they have contributed since."
Paula offers insight into the album, “‘To Cross or to Burn’ has taken us down a darker, very different path than our first album. There’s a confidence in this body of work. An overall vibe of heaviness that was unexpected. Verses of hard truths now bound in acceptance. The soul-searching continues.”

The indefatigable Dave Lombardo’s bona fides as a world-class drummer are well-known. While he drafted the blueprint that would define thrash-metal drumming, he’s also applied his finesse to solo percussion (2023’s Rites Of Percussion), hip hop and classical music, as well as boundary-pushing recordings and performances with everyone from John Zorn’s ensembles to punk icons Misfits and Mr. Bungle. To Cross or To Burn is another milestone in his storied career, where he’s added guitar, bass and considerable production techniques to his sonic skill-set.
Canadian-born Paula Lombardo began her musical career at 18 as a backing singer for Las Vegas icon Wayne Newton, performing multiple shows in the demanding Vegas circuit before relocating to Nashville to further her musical career. A dynamic musical force, she combines impressive vocal prowess, a deftness on piano and synthesizers with a natural instinct for crafting alluring lyrics, melodies and arrangements.

Ooooh this is a nice NIN-like throwback sound for an even throwback-ier Scorpions track. Would be great in a David Lynch film! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jjg5299]

Love this!!!❤Vocals... As a Scorpions fan from 1980 this is reallllly cool...!!! I remember hearing Klaus interviewed back then and he could just minimally speak sentences in english, it was so elfing cool...

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

Really amazing actually. Vocals are superb!

[@auralfixxation6702]

I've always thought this was the darkest vibe the Scorpions ever did. I'm surprised there's not more covers of it. By the way, well done.

[@paulsweeney9084]

Testament did a good rendition on Dark Roots of the Earth.

Mr Patton's record label has been finding some unique musicians through the years and Ipecac records is turned out to be a legitimate Venture for him. A lot of wild bands gravitate towards Mike Patton and his label. But no surprise there, he is the greatest voice the past 40 years..... faith and more and Mr Bungle have absolutely been huge and beneficial in changing the course of music I don't think there's a band from the late 80s and 90s that had more influence on musicians than Faith No More and Mr Bungle. It was huge and it thoroughly injected new life into music in the late 80s and early 90s which is exactly what we needed especially the Los Angeles scene & bands that came out and change the landscape even more so than the Seattle scene like Faith No More Mr Bungle Kyuss tool Rollins band rage Deftones Primus Ministry Chili Peppers Fishbone firehose pornos for pyros Jane's Addiction helmet just a few of the incredible bands that lead the charge and changed the course of music for the better. Now don't get me wrong Alice in Chains Jesus Lizard Melvin's Soundgarden were a huge part of that as well from the Seattle scene. I wasn't that big on Nirvana or Pearl Jam but they helped as well But Patton and the rest of the la music scene just blew the roof off the 90s. And Mike has done a thoroughly awesome job bringing quality musicians to his label. Continue the greatness MP.

Wow! Very interesting to say the least! Can’t say that about most music these days.

[@NorthIdahoan]

Love it! 60 years the Scorps have been together! Great tribute to them. Are any of them original members? Maybe Rudolph Schenker?

[@ChadHazaVlarian]

dig this so much!

Awesome ✨🖤🥀

[@MatChew75]

This is a cover of a song by scorpions and it's one of the most legit songs that they've ever made and it was before they turned into a big hair band in the 80s I mean this was their last legitimate album which came out in 1980 and after that it was just all MTV video airplay regurgitated hair band music. Like their more mainstream American hit albums Love at First sting and blackout which broke them into America. And this was Matthias Jabs first album on guitars and I think Michael Schenker had left the band at that point to do UFO Dan solo project but I think he came back. But I would have to say animal magnetism is probably their best album I mean this man could have fallen apart after the ridiculous lovedrive album. So this was a huge departure from that nonsense and from what I hear this is the real Dark Horse for Die Hard scorpion fans. Because it was before the initial charge into the states for Love at First sting in blackout. But of course the hypnosis ( storm thorgerson) cover there was the album's curious cover photo, which, for once, didn't require a censored replacement to pacify overly sensitive American audiences, but ultimately proved just as sexually suggestive as other notorious Scorpions LPs - though in rather more subliminal ways. But Applause to this band for covering it and doing such a phenomenal job with one of scorpions better songs of all time.

Love the song and the vibe...not sure about the guitar solo...

[@generaljj71]

I agree. Sounds more like Kerry King than Holt.

[@leedaugherty2948]

​@@generaljj71sounds more like hennamen

[@cheetorb]

I agree as well but I like that it’s not the same old diddly-diddly-diddly kind of solo. Almost sounds like another singer (in a painful agonizing way ha!)

[@mariuszwolyniak3044]

Tak to trzeba zagrać. SCORPIONS wymiękają. HOLT to genusz, nie pierdoli się w tańcu.

[@radekros12]

Nie żartuj, do Klausa nikt nie ma podjazdu

[@DewaId-yn6yo]

Gitary średnio oddają klimat oryginału, są strasznie "schowane" w miksie. No i wokal... Nie ma co porównywać tego babskiego jęczenia do śpiewu Klausa Meine, w dodatku z jego najlepszego okresu. Trudno mi powiedzieć, jaki gatunek reprezentuje ten cover. Solówka nagrana okropnie. Pierwszy raz słyszę o tym całym Venamoris, ale jako fan Scorpions spodziewałbym się jednak czegoś lepszego, szczególnie ze strony produkcji.

[@tedburkholder8156]

Vocals are absolutely terrible.

[@dang3740]

😂 I agree

[@tedburkholder8156]

@dang3740 I don't know why everyone is so afraid to say anything? Maybe because there's so much love for Dave? But she is awful.

You seem to be the only tone deaf person I'm here.

Is it she couldn't hold a note or you just don't know music ever think it was done like that on purpose and highly doubt you could have done better
