Slayer: la cover natalizia di ‘Seasons In The Abyss’ da membri di Haken, Dream Theater, Protest the Hero, Cradle of Filth e Inhuman Condition

Membri di Haken, Dream Theater, Protest the Hero, Cradle of Filth e Inhuman Condition hanno unito le forze per realizzare la cover natalizia di ‘Seasons In The Abyss‘ degli Slayer. Il brano, intitolato ‘Seasons Greetings In The Abyss’, combina l’energia degli Slayer alle tipiche atmosfere natalizie. Il testo alternativo è stato scritto dall’artista e illustratore Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Alestorm e Sylosis) e Charlie Griffiths degli Haken. Entrambi hanno pure imbracciato le chitarre. Le parti vocali sono di Rody ‘angel of breath’ Walker dei Protest the Hero. La tuba da Ray ‘nin blood’ Hearne degli Haken. Dani-el ‘awaits’ Firth dei Cradle Of Filth e il batterista degli Inhuman Condition, Jeramie ‘klerry’ Kling, hanno completato la line-up. Infine Jordan ‘captor of synth’ Rudess ha inserito uno speciale assolo di tastiera.

Di seguito, il simpatico lyric video.

Members of Haken, Dream Theater, Protest the Hero, Cradle of Filth and Inhuman Condition have ventured south of Lapland for this festive version of a Slayer classic. “Seasons Greetings In The Abyss” combines the music of Slayer with sleigh bell celebration, with alternate lyrics penned by artist and illustrator Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Alestorm and Sylosis) and Charlie Griffiths of Haken, who also both take on guitar duties. Vocals are delivered by Canadian croon-maestro Rody ‘angel of breath’ Walker of Protest the Hero and tuba (yes tuba!) is supplied by Haken drummer Ray ‘nin blood’ Hearne. Cradle of Filth’s Dani-el ‘awaits’ Firth and Inhuman Condition drummer Jeramie ‘klerry’ Kling fill out the core-ensemble and special guest Jordan ‘captor of synth’ Rudess shows no mercy with a face mashing keyboard solo. Griffiths had this to say about the collaboration: “Injecting this song with some Christmas cheer worked better than any of us expected! Apparently Jeff Hanneman loved Christmas, so hopefully he would approve of our tribute and I hope we help to spread some musical merriment during yet another Christmas of uncertainty in the pandemic abyss. Thanks to all the guys for joining in with the fun and to Scott Atkins for mixing! Eternal gratitude to the all the members of Slayer and we wish everyone a Merrytory Yuletide! – Haken
