Another excellent post, thanks for sharing! As someone who really likes rhythm games, Dead as Disco looks very interesting!

It seems a bit like Kickbeat mixed with Hi-Fi RUSH.

Found it now! That was a fun one, thanks for sharing!

I really like their energy! I also listened to a couple of tracks off their album from last year and it's impressive that they released what seems like a really solid album after such a long hiatus!

This was a bit of a happy accident, not really what I was looking for but still ended up being very cool! I hopped around a bit between both artists' top songs and I think this could be great music to work to also when the howler monkeys would otherwise be a distraction!

Not at all, it just shows the broken image icon for me where I assume the link should be. I tried loading it in the browser and it was the same. Could be a federation or client quirk!

That particular video wasn't loading so I had to watch it on YouTube but I'm happy there are still working Invidious instances, I didn't realise that was the case! Other videos loaded for me on there just fine. The cover was great too, I saw she also has a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit which was also good!

That Paint It Black cover was very cinematic, maybe not so mellow but I really liked it anyway. I haven't seen Westworld at all but I can imagine a scene with a song like this in would be amazing! Is it worth watching?

Someone linked Enter Sandman before, it's great there's a whole album of this though!

For some reason the links don't load for me but based on an earlier comment I guessed this must be Richard Cheese's cover of Down With The Sickness? It's a good one if so!

That was fun! I almost didn't realise that I knew the original version because it's so different!

[–] EK13@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

That whole album seems great to be honest, the backing vocals echoing ^JUMP^ on the song Jump were a nice touch!

Ah of course, that's a good one! I sometimes forget the Johnny Cash version is a cover...

 

A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

I'm wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I'm working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.

The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I've had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don't really know a lot more like this.

Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?

Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy
