Bay Area band Mamaleek has shared a cover of "The Pressman," originally by Primus."'The Pressman' is one of many tunes that didn’t make the cut for Out of Time, originally recorded in 2015. From friendships formed to seasoning our sound, few bands have impacted Mamaleek quite like Primus. The song serves as a timely reminder of media exploitation and those who profit from others' pain," the band says of the cover.

It will release on The Flenser Membership Series 7: Cadejos + Those Who Pass Between Fleeting Words, a subscription-only series, with this edition available on July 18.

It's also streaming, as shared below.
