Vs Tuesday: Two Bands! One Song! Who Wins?! FIGHT! Army.
Back in 1995 Bjork was Queen of quirky Pop Music with a string of surprise hits that broke the mold and formula of artists at the time and in doing so gained a lot of admires from both fans and peers in all genres of music. That year she landed the many times covered “Army Of Me” which is as a lot of her cuts, very well suited to a Nine Inch Nails styled industrial sound, both of which make it perfect for today’s head to head…
In the blood red corner we have Grunge Masters Helmet who recorded their cover only a year after the song was released for a charity compilation album, somehow managing not to loose any of the grace of the original while maintaining their own style. Perhaps that’s because the vocals are in the key of C like the original while the bass sounds like it’s in the key of G#. In the icy cold blue corner we have Canadian Metal Royalty in Imonolith who recorded their rendition for their upcoming new EP “Progressions” and there can be little doubt that when they finally land upon our shores for their many time re-scheduled European tour trek that was originally supposed to be for their debut album “State Of Being“, it will be in the set. Who wins? You decide!
