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!

We hope you enjoy this cover as much as we enjoyed making it!

    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.
