Yay! So glad you liked them both, and as I said elsewhere, if it weren't for the sentimental feelings I have for the original, I'd prefer the cover too. 😊
Okay, for this week - although I'm not usually a fan of the "death metal" growly vocal style, this song was in heavy rotation on our boy's playlist, and I really liked it. Then he showed me the video, and explained to me that the female vocalist did ALL the singing, including the intense growly stuff, and I was beyond amazed.
Needless to say, I did a bit of Googling, just to be sure it really was her singing, and found this quote -
I was inspired by Otep (Shamaya). When I was 15, my friend showed me a record of House of Secrets. I was like ‘That dude — his voice is so powerful,” Tatiana described. “And he said, ‘Oh come on Tatiana, that’s actually a woman!’ I was like, ‘What?’ And she blew my mind away. And that was the time, the moment when I realized I wanted to shock people just like her. I just had the feeling or the intuition, like extra sense that this is what I’m made to do.
So fair warning - the song starts quiet, then gets not-quiet...LOL! And with that, I leave you with the beginning lyrics, then I'll shush so you can play the song...
"Step forward and meet a new sunrise
A coward is shivering inside
Today I'll, I'll be a friend of mine who swallows
Suffering with smile
I drew a different reality
With unconditional loyalty
Ego hardly can be piqued 'cause I'm selfless" ~ Jinjer
