STARKILL Post FOO FIGHTERS "The Pretender" Cover Video By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, February 23, 2018 @ 11:35 AM
This comes in just as the Chicago based 5 piece prepare to announce tour dates before retreating to the studio to record what they reveal to fans as “the most epic album in their entire catalogue."
Watch the video for "The Pretender" on KNAC.COM right HERE.
“The Pretender” will also be available for download/purchase on Friday February 23rd at: http://smarturl.it/starkillpretender
When asked about the inspiration behind covering “The Pretender” track Parker shares, "FOO FIGHTERS have long been one of our favorite groups of all time, and we’ve long considered doing a cover or interpretation of one of their tracks. “The Pretender” is one of those instantly recognizable rock anthems, and we decided to bring together various aspects from both the original and other versions we had heard to form a cohesive, more metal-centric cover. We’ve always been a band to straddle, combine, and question subgenre stereotypes and what is or isn’t “allowed” in metal, so we thought the idea of combining rock, shred, orchestration, and crazy drums made perfect sense for us. To me, the song is about standing your ground and staying true to who you are. We got this idea together of mimicking the original "Pretender" video, but replacing the riot police with metalheads of all sorts, showcasing that no matter what your preferred subgenre is, music brings people together."
While STARKILL will always maintain their tradition of continually expanding their musical horizons by putting out unique and striking material; on the forthcoming album, listeners can expect a lot more clean and choir singing, and heavier, more technical/proggy soundscapes than Shadow Sleep. “It's ridiculous!” Says Parker via Facebook.
More album details to be announced. In the meantime, check out previously released covers from STARKILL including the Japanese version of EPICA’s "Crimson Bow And Arrow" and the glorious death metal cover of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.
