about

"As soon as I listened to the song and its video in April 2020, I knew I had to cover it somehow. I kept the main riff intact, but played by synths, and I kept the core of the drum part the same. I don’t think I could’ve written a better groove than Mario Duplantier!

For the verses, I played around with the vocal melody, trying to follow the intonations of Joseph’s screams, and I added the rising chord stabs to add a touch of science-fiction to that section. The bridge and solo are the most different sections. I kept the psychedelic vibe, but with our electronic production it sounds closer to trance music than psych rock.

This was actually the first song I demoed, before the album was even a coherent idea, so I had a lot of time to think it through." - Ozymandias
