Ex-Revocation bassist, Anthony Buda, was not lying when he said he was leaving the band to pursue pop music interests. Below is a video of the former Revocation member performing an acoustic cover of Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night”. I have nothing else to add. If you dare to watch the video you can below. If not, go download the new Revocation EP here.

He’s covered Mastodon. He’s covered Converge. He’s covered Opeth, Gojira and even Meshuggah on his piano! Now, Sam Abbot has tackled Pig Destroyer’s “Loathsome” for his new cover video and it is freakin’ awesome! He even breaks a glass bottle at the beginning. It surprisingly translates to piano pretty well despite the fact that it sounds so out of place. Sam Abbot, you are the piano god…of youtube. Check out the cover above and the original below.

Black metal act Deafheaven announced that they will be covering the first two tracks (as one continuous track) from Mogwai’s album Come On Die Young, “Punk Rock” and “Cody”, for their upcoming split with Bosse De Nage. I am really stoked to hear Deafheaven’s rendition of these classic Mogwai tunes. The split should be out later this year on Flesner Records. Listen to the originals below and check out “Tunnel of Trees” by Deafheaven.

Canadian electronic artist, Egyptrixx, has covered the song “Old Black” by Earth! This actually sounds pretty cool if I say so myself. It also features contributions from Canadian indie rock band, Ohbijou. Take a listen!

I really dig videos like this, whether they are actually playing the song or not. Now, I’m not too sure about this vocalist. Either these are Tomas Lindberg’s vocals or this kid is the best Lindberg imitator I’ve ever heard. I’m betting on the first, because this music is far too close. Yeah, they may be playing the instruments to it, but the backing track is spot on. I A-and-B’ed the track and it synced up. Still a fun video, regardless. Check it out.
