didn't some euro-metal band just cover that a-ha song on THEIR covers album?
IIRC Susperia also did one on an EP a few years ago.

Man, I was banging on about 'Pea' on that Codeine thread a couple of weeks back. Such a great song. When I see the suuunnnn... *CRASH*. Dunno if I particularly wanna hear that Nadja album though.

I was in my teens (just) when most of that stuff was out. I have the A-ha 7", i think i was in 1st or 2nd year at secondary school when that was out. Wasn't that actually a cover anyway?

I like Nadja a bunch but this is basically the first thing I thought of when I saw the first pic the guy did, and not at all in a good way. I actually have the album on now and the MBV cover sounds exactly how you'd expect, which I'm OK with. It came in the post with the Karl Sanders solo album, which sounds quite intriuging if not really at all metal

It's cheesier than dark, but I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the gothic-industrial-metal-album The Only Salvation, by the Norwegian band Artifact. Kind of like an amped up version of (later) Gary Numan, with the occasional death-metal blurt.
Also, both the new Kreator and Sirenia albums, which I've had around since before the new year, continue to impress me anew every time something from them comes up on my Shuffle.
And yeah, Blut Aus Nord. And Nightbringer. And Absu. Already another really good year...

In which our intrepid, forest-dwelling hipsters absolutely fucking brutalize the Slayer classic.

The new songs are good, and I was a fan of Octavia Sperati, but I was expecting something a little bolder. Instead the new stuff, while lovely, sounds a bit pedestrian.

i'll tell you one thing about nadja's slayer cover, it's long.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link

"forest-dwelling hipsters absolutely fucking brutalize the Slayer classic"
There is something very wrong with this sentence. Please tell me "absolutely brutalize" doesn't mean marimba and a flute solo.
― Soukesian, Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
I meant brutalize in the positive sense.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:39 (fifteen years ago) link
It's a boring version of my absolute least favorite Slayer song (and yes, that includes the stuff on Undisputed Attitude). Nadja are now and forever in my "I don't get it" pile.
― unperson, Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:42 (fifteen years ago) link
I thought it was great, probably the best thing on the album going on initial spin
― Luka ModReq (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I think they make the song a lot creepier and heavier than the original. And I've always liked Slayer's version. No question, going in, you know exactly what Nadja's going to do with these cover songs, just draw them out as long as possible, but with these songs especially, the shtick works really well.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 12 March 2009 22:50 (fifteen years ago) link
i don't agree. but i love you anyway.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 March 2009 23:05 (fifteen years ago) link
i mean, it's not creepier and it's not heavier. it's just not. and i think it is a little tedious. and putting stuff through the nadja machine can probably work fine in some instances, but i don't think it does the trick in this case. different strokes and all that.
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 March 2009 23:08 (fifteen years ago) link
and i got no problem with shtick either. speaking as someone who loved all the songs that mark k. put through the red house painters machine to make them red house painters songs. (post-RHP though, i don't have a lot of time for john denver and modest mouse covers.)
― scott seward, Thursday, 12 March 2009 23:10 (fifteen years ago) link
I get the impression listening to Nadja's cover of Dead Skin Mask, that if you were in the same room with them while they were recording the track, you would barely hear them playing. It doesn't sound to me like they are playing their instruments vigorously at all.
I would bet good money that their whole process with the exception of their vocals (and maybe drums on certain records) are all internal using VST distortion on guitars and synths (to create that fake feedback/drone sound they bury all of their songs with). It's a sound I used to find really compelling, but now that I've had six or seven of their samey albums to deconstruct their sound, it sounds kind of dull and flat and doesn't really fit my personal definition of metal at all.

― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 12 March 2009 23:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Amesoeurs will definitely have some of the purists hollering 'false!', but the new album's not without some vicious moments, including one track of full-on, stripped down black metal.
