When it comes to deep melancholic music that somehow landed major public appeal, there are few bleaker songs that cut through all the saccharine positivity of the 90s like Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSomething In The Way\u201d. Since then, we\u2019ve heard it remixed, reimagined, and used for all sorts of advertising goodness. <\/p>\n
What I\u2019m about to show you here won\u2019t make some corporation money, but it\u2019s worth checkin\u2019 out simply for the dark and solemnity that black metal outfit UADA put into their rendition of Nirvana\u2019s \u201cSomething In The Way\u201d from their breakout record Nevermind.<\/p>\n
This single comes off the heels of the band releasing another track \u2014 their acoustic version of \u201cThe Purging Fire\u201d. With this new cover now out in the wild, Jake Superchi said it was a huge departure from UADA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen UADA was formed, a rule was set: no covers, in pursuit of carving a wholly independent voice. We allowed ourselves to bend that rule. Recruiting a cellist for this project created a rare alignment\u2014a moment to pay homage to one of the most formative and regional influences of my youth. While staying close to the original arrangement, we allowed our interpretation to take on its own bleak, glacial weight\u2014one that echoes through the song\u2019s timeless sorrow.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
In addition to all that, UADA are also going to be co-headlining with Mortiis for a run of shows throughout North America dubbed the \u2018Witches of Dystopia\u2019 tour. You can find the dates for that below.<\/p>\n
