Listen to Code Orange covering Nine Inch Nails’ Quake theme

Back in 1996, Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails composed the music for brilliant first-person shooter game Quake. For those who dug it enough, you could actually listen to the whole album by itself on the game CD, and it became a curio for die-hard NIN fans, a hidden thing unavailable if you didn't have the game.

Last year, the soundtrack was put out as its own thing for the first time, being pressed onto a limited-edition anniversary vinyl. Now, to mark the 25th birthday of the game, Code Orange have done their own heavy cover of its main theme.
