Bomfunk MC's FREESTYLER (METAL cover by BATTLEDRAGON)
Музыка
Finnish Power Metal group Battledragon releases yet another amazingly unconventional metal cover for your delight.
After covering songs by some of the biggest female stars of our age, it was time to have a look in the past. Who could ever forget Bomfunk MC's and their classic track "Freestyler" from their breakthrough album "In Stereo"?
As a homage to the soundtrack of our childhood it was decided that this song definitely deserves a Battledragon-style makeover, but it soon became clear that we couldn't stop on just the song itself. A music video was also filmed painstakingly tracking back the very same locations seen on the original video.
On this cover video the members of Battledragon were graciously joined by friends taking over the leading roles. Battledragon embraces the spirit of music as an universal language and roars its thanks to those who made this video possible!

Carrion with the Tiistailer.
One summer day in 2000 guys placed cardboards down on the ground to make dance floor. They blasted out Freestyler from a boombox and started to break dance. The crowd around them was so excited! It was fire! 🔥🔥🔥
It's lucky that you are also Finnish like Bomfunk MC's so you could easily find the same metro station in Finland where the original video was shot. :D

This particular metro station is Hakaniemi (or Hagnäs, as it's called in Swedish), in case you were wondering. It looks more or less the same as it does in the original video with the exception of the payphones. Obviously, a few things look a bit newer, but even as a foreigner (I moved to Finland in 2010), I had no problems recognizing it.
I finally understood the lyrics. Thanks

Helsinki subway opened 1982 and has changed little since. Old subway trains still run but there have been also a newer model since 2001. Actually i don't know if it's the same station than back in 1999 but from the level of dedication i guess it is :)

Most locations here are exactly the same as in the original video. The twerking scene was the only scene we had to film in a different location due to renovations in the ticket hall.

Guys, you are awesome, the cover is awesome and the passion in covering the video AS WELL is a great Finnish (pun intended) :D Thank you for the awesomeness!
kick-ass performance, videography with love for detail, transition of style works great, the 90s-kid in me is happy AF! proves once again that musical styles DO mix well when care is involved AND that I need to finally move my ass and visit helsinki!
I think this took a lot of time to study and performs all original cameo made on the Bomfunk MC´s original Freestyla... So, I gave one thumb-up and 3 more hahaha... greetings from #Panama
Respekt, I love the Original Song. I am a Kid of 90s. But this is so awesome and good!! My Respekt I love your version too. And the Video ist really cool!!
Finally a good metal version of this song! Thanks for that! It's really not that easy to find stuff like that from such iconic songs. Keep it on guys!

This is cool beyond all measure. I have enjoyed the original song and video since I heard it in 2000. To see you guys do this amazing cover and then to film the video in shape of the original. Just wow, blown away. Love it guys !!!

Goddamn! Amazing quality homage. You guys did the original video justice. Kudos!!
this was an awesome metal cover, i like how you found the original places to reenact the music video, really nice touch.
Probably one of the best videos ever!
I have to mention by the way, that you guys rock the most godmode epic warrior band name, I've ever seen. I also have to admit, I spell it out loud sometimes with brutal force, just to feel tremendously heroic. With slowly raising, shaking fists and everything else. All of it. Unforgetable.
Me: *clicks on video* “good luck” Also me: *end of video* “...damn...not bad”🤘
This music video it's sabsolutly great! Thanks guys for this job.
METAL RULES!!!!! Love it!!!!
Love bomfunk,love this metal version,big like from italy
It's a classic and it's an amazing cover well done guys so nice to see a metal cover of this
I'm really stoked how accurately you replicated the video.

nuorempana tykkäsin todella paljon bomfunkin biisistä ja nyt elän ne fiilikset uudelleen! Kiitos tästä :)
I love how the last scene was Freestyler Metal guy being friends with PSX guy and pausing him in a frame perfect pose. in the original, OG Freestyler guy seemed pissed that Uprocking Beats dude showed up in his music video.
One word... SUPERB!

Amazing tribute guys. God bless from USA
Was playing Steep earlier and thought to myself, I wouldn't mind covering this metal style- now I don't have to! \m/ This was awesome! Btw, did the main keys part not sound any good played on guitar? That's what gave me the idea, I was thinking to start off playing that bit palm muted and slowly bring it in to be the main riff as in the song chorus
Well done! :)
I Fuk'n love this cover. Great work boyz🤘
Best music this year so far
I don’t know why, but freestyler being a metal song kinda matches
Nice video....greetings from brunei darussalam
