Female fronted Chicago rockers, Ignescent, are pleased to share a reimagined version of the iconic anthem We Will Rock You, originally by Queen, featuring Les Carlsen of Bloodgood, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
Lead singer Jennifer Benson said: “It's an honor to remake such an iconic song as “We Will Rock You” by Queen. I met Les Carlsen of Bloodgood at a festival in Germany and afterwards I reached out to him to see if he'd like to be featured on this song. Grateful to a legend in Christian Rock, Les, for being on this, and thank you to Jeremy Valentyne and Brandon Wolfe of New Years Day for everything!”
