De Noorse black metal band Dimmu Borgir heeft een stream uitgebracht voor hun versie van “Perfect Strangers”, origineel uitgebracht door Deep Purple in oktober 1984.
The idea of doing ‘Perfect Strangers’ came about quite a while before we actually got around to recording it. It’s a known song by a very well known band that has influenced many to pick up an instrument. I mean, is there anyone who doesn’t like Deep Purple?!
We incorporated our little twist to it while at the same time wanted to stay close to the original. But perhaps it is the more obvious aspects that come to mind when hearing it; the integration between the main musical elements that we also made use of since the beginning like keyboards and guitars.
De cover is afkomstig van het aankomende coveralbum “Inspirato Profanus”, waarvan ze eerder ook de track “Black Metal” van Venom uitbrachten. De complete tracklist ziet er als volgt uit:
01 – “Black Metal” (Venom cover)
02 – “Satan My Master” (Bathory cover)
03 – “Dead Men Don’t Rape” (G.G.F.H. cover)
04 – “Nocturnal Fear” (Celtic Frost cover)
05 – “Burn In Hell” (Twisted Sister cover)
06 – “Perfect Strangers” (Deep Purple cover)
07 – “Metal Heart” (Accept cover)
08 – “Nocturnal Fear (Celtically Processed)” (Celtic Frost cover)
Dit album komt op 8 december 2023 uit en pre-orders zijn hier verkrijgbaar.
De band live zien kan op Dynamo Metalfest dat op 17 en 18 augustus 2024 plaatsvindt.
