Members of Tool, Mastodon and more took part in a killer cover of Rush’s “Anthem” on the heavy metal YouTube talk show Two Minutes to Late Night.

Embedded below, the cover features Coheed and Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez, Mastodon’s Bill Kelliher, Primus’ Les Claypool, Tool’s Danny Carey, Mutoid Man’s Steve Brodsky and Jordan Olds (aka Gwarsenio Hall.)

The video’s caption on YouTube says it best: “Uhhh… Holy Moley. It’s Claudio Sanchez, Bill Kelliher, Les Claypool, Danny Carey, and Steve Brodsky covering a Rush song. We’re just as surprised as you are.”
