This one comes courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] kengr and fits the month's theme perfectly.

Goregate is a German Death Metal band that has been knocking around since 1991. Currently unsigned, they appear to have released one full length album and a couple of EPs. This may be the most obscure act I've ever presented; but they're here today because when they do a cover, they dig deep.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Für Elise by Ludwig van Beethoven performed as a Death Metal piece. Weird, but very interesting. Enjoy!



Next week, a cover of a cover of a traditional folk song played in a very appropriate place.

generally, but I found the Goregate version more listenable. While the Accept version was flashier & more technically accurate to the piano piece, the singer (& singing) was, to me, a distraction.

Is there a way to get an mp3 of the Goregate piece. I actually kinda liked it.

There are programs you can get that strip mp3s off of YouTube videos. Other than that, you'd have to track down the 2002 EP which is also named Für Elise
