Oh, Halloween. Beloved by damn near everyone now—I’m looking at you basic bitches, who only care about the holiday because you can have Pumpkin Spice Lattes and act like you know how to do tarot—it’s one of the best times of the year if you love seeing your bands take on tunes by your other favorite bands. Split Chain, a nü-gaze band from the UK, has embraced the Halloween spirit with their most recent rendition of “I Don’t Wanna Be” by Type O Negative. Listen to it below.
The music comes from Type O Negative’s 2003 record Life Is Killing Me, the second to last issued before frontman Peter Steele went away in 2010. Although Split Chain clearly put their own touch on it, their rendition doesn’t deviate too much from the original. When it comes to the fact that the cover is rather a change from their regular sound, the band very straightforwardly said: “It’s a different vibe, more punk-y and fast, but we feel it encapsulates our fun side.”
Split Chain will begin touring with Silverstein and Thursday on January 10 of next year after performing a few performances at their home base this month. Tickets for every show are available here.
