All Your Metal Singers Are A Bunch Of Sissies
You have not lived until you have heard Motorhead's "Orgasmotron" covered by Yat-kha, a Siberian band fronted by a Tuvan Throat Singer. I don't know what's best... the Russian bouzouki-stylee backing track or the fact that suddenly Lemmy seems like a limpwristed whiny little pussy next to the sinister Satan's-lungs croak of Albert Kuvezin.
Listen here, and be sure not to miss the incredible cover of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
We now return you to your regular programming.

The music tracks sounded like
The music tracks sounded like music from a video game. A touch generic, alot uninteresting.
To be fair the riff from the original is not exactly inspiring either, but you at least get the satisfying image of smashing someone's face in with a carburetor. The tight, airy strings here belong at anniversaries of the triumphant rodina in the Great Patriotic War. Or peasant weddings.
But the voice... if you can divorce his stygian murmur from the free 'n' ezy music, it can be extraordinarily creepy. And perfect for the track. I'm glad I listened with people around. Alone, I might have ended up with all the lights on and deep under the covers.
I like the music... it's
I like the music... it's authentically Siberian by way of Tibet. And did you see what they look like? They're a bunch of Ghengis Khan ringers! Which is very metal!
The throat singing is pretty tight. Need to learn that trick.
