New Track By The Heavy in True Blood Season Finale

The Heavy has had great licensing luck in recent time (recall hearing "How You Like Me Now?" in the Mark Wahlberg hit The Fighter??) and this is another worthy notch on the bedpost of juicy placements! The Heavy had a track in yesterday's season finale of HBO's blood-sucking, Emmy-award winning hit vampire drama True Blood. The band recorded a fangtastic version of the standard "And When I Die" which is now available to stream via KCRW.com.
The track is featured in the finale as well as made available on the now out True Blood Soundtrack Vol 3 alongside Neko Case and Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, and many more as curated by acclaimed music supervisor Gary Calamar, also a KCRW DJ. Calamar personally selected the band to record their gospel-tinged version:
"I immediately thought of The Heavy. I LOVE The Heavy's blend of sweaty soul and crunchy rock and they had a spiritual feel as well. Their neo-soul anthem "How You Like Me Now?" is an all time favorite of mine."
Listen to "And When I Die" on KCRW. Preview the whole soundtrack on EW.com. To buy the soundtrack, click here.
Additionally, The Heavy's album The House That Dirt Built, featuring "How You Like Me Now?", is on sale for a reduced price for a limited time on iTunes.
