King Satan, one of the top industrial metal bands in Finland, released a real party song based on a summer hit, after all it is Britney Spears‘s huge hit (You Drive Me) Crazy, which fits perfectly into King Satan’s “death metal disco” style.
“There is more than one person in this band who has a very high regard for the early production of pop icon Britney Spears. For all of us, there was something about the pop music of the late 90s and early 2000s, and (You Drive Me) Crazy is one of those songs that perfectly encapsulates that era!”, King Aleister Satan summarizes and continues:
“Its energetic and uplifting atmosphere, with a touch of melancholy, catchy rhythms and great melodies, has still not disappeared from our collective consciousness! All of this turned into industrial metal and King Satan’s style surprisingly effortlessly on top of that.”
King Satan will release their new album Black Magick Abraxas on November 6th, but this song won’t be featured on it. Understandably, the legal ramifications of one of the world’s biggest hits have also turned out to be quite a jungle, but the band is happy that the single is released with a music video.
“This is our tribute to the eternal return of pop culture, which programs our subconscious to understand that a good song is a good song regardless of genre.”
