It’s aight

based

Actually not as bad as I thought. Bass playing is solid.

"Imperial Triumphant cover Radiohead"

Which begs the question, why?

Or why not impersonate a jar of mayonaise, instead?

THIS BAND IS THE NEXT COMING OF CHRIST THEY CAN DO NO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Erm, what?! Haven’t heard this yet but I am very intrigued

Imperial Triumphant do heavy doses of guitars better than Radiohead to be fair, so this might actually work

lmao demon confidently sitting down in shit

I mean this likely sucks because it’s a cover of a song I’ve heard a million times. Still, I know which of the respective bands original ‘guitar-focused’ material I’m taking at this stage

this is actually a masterful cover

So dope!

thread is split by people saying 'i bet it sucks' and people who actually listened

rules btw

why is there even hate for this band

🤷

Unsurprisingly awesome.

is there hate for this band? There definitely shouldn’t be

not that i am aware of

Alphaville is literally an all-time great album for me, I’m predicting it’ll age magnificently.

there's only hate for the band cause people overrate them hard, wish I never discovered this band my ears would thank me

This band is a semi cool novelty act with an amazing drummer. Nothing that I feel like I ever wanna come back to after one listen though

My favorite modern metal band. Delightful cover

Drummer Kenny Grohowski is absolutely amazing and his prolific work with John Zorn is simply astonishing.

delightful indeed

lol imagine thinking they’re a novelty act

If Tundras saying you're shit then you're already ahead

Novelty might be the wrong word idk. But definitely feels very contrived

What a weird combo.
Isnt Imperial Trimphant like death metal or something?

Calling it unrecognizable is ridiculous

And they covered it because they wanted to duh

all im learnin from this thread is the band in question seems to enjoy what they do to much the same degree a lot of u fuckers enjoy the feeling of being perceived in a certain way by net randoms on a dusty forum
got a huge soft spot for paranoid android, cool that this cover is a thing that exists

This is awesome and weird

big fan of the implications of that copy paste

i like paranoid android but im not hearing it here

Someone just finished their bingo card for sure

"i like paranoid android but im not hearing it here"

same chord progressions and leading lines with some minor changes, couldn't see it being anything other than a paranoid android cover if i tried, the melodic choices on the original track are the most defining feature of the song imo and they are pretty much all here

I actually like this cover all jokes aside

dont hear it

you know its largely the same notes in the same key right?

Listen don’t hear

stop making fun of me for having no ears ramon!

It's definitely pretty different from the original. The most recognizable motif is quite clearly there but the rest is pretty much the song being thrown through an imperial triumphant meat grinder

Welp that settles that

Never heard the original song so this was like a new track to me, can't complain one bit lol

I thought it was a requirement to listen to OK Computer at least 50 times before commenting on sput

im sorry brother flug miss you man sorry for not responding to your shoutbox ages ago haha

q.q

wow, this is sick. leave it to Imperial Triumphant to make one of the more creative covers i've heard. the "rain down" part was especially tasty

Well this fucking rips.

Guess I’m the only one who thought this was pretty terrible 😐

the second half was awesome

Yeah you're the only one nash

idk about that

Birdo pls. Jam the original and jam this right after, there's no way you cannot hear it's the same song.

I’ve jammed this like 5 times already, so good

Funny how a lot of these lyrics seem so right being sung in this style. Like “when I am king you will be first against the wall” and “rain down from a great height.” This song sounds way better as a black metal song than I would’ve expected. Def one of the most inspired covers I’ve come across. Some lines are kinda funny though, like GUUUUUCCI LITTLE PIGGIEEEE lol

“This band is a semi cool novelty act with an amazing drummer”

Bassist is a monster too

*strokes beard*

This is very interesting.

Also never heard the OG or at least not in a solid many years but yeah that was uhhhh p freaky in the best of ways
Rips
