Chaos Divine - Africa (Toto Cover)

Музыка

New album THE HUMAN CONNECTION - LIVE AT BADLANDS OUT NOW - stream and download it at vimeo.com/ondemand/chaosdivin...
-----
2012 marked the 30th anniversary since the release of the group's legendary Toto IV album, originally recorded in 1982. Containing other classics such as '"Rosanna" and "I Won't Hold You Back", the album went on to win six Grammy Awards, and is regarded as one of the defining records for the ballad-rock era of the 80's and 90's.
Chaos Divine's modernised cover version of the song was engineered and mixed earlier this year at Perth's Crank studios by guitarist and audio producer Simon Mitchell, and mastered by Jens Bogren of Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
The album is available now on iTunes international or on the Chaos Divine website.

The tempo of the drums, the vocal tone, the guitar and bass tone. Its a shame some videos have 50m views while this is at 700k just because there's no clip of someone being funny on camera.

    TL/DR: Stop now. This is the best cover of this song you're going to find. For some reason I had the itch for this old song from my dad's record collection. But I wanted a heavier sound to it, so I went in search of good covers. This was the first one that came up, but I skipped it, dug deep and worked my way back up. Should have started here. This is the best cover I've found on youtube (after about an hour of multitask searching) Great job this is a great cover of a great song

    rogue42bdf Heard it, and I love Leo and heavy metal, but to me, this kept more to the spirit of the original. Mostly because of the clean vocals and the slower (original), more dramatic tempo. Either way, hats off to Leo...I love his covers, but this is the better cover in my opinion (even if deep down I wish it were heavier lol).

    This is beyond a shadow of a doubt an epic cover that takes a great song and makes it their own. It is worthy of being a bonus track on the new Chaos Divine album, they need to break it in the US, and I want to meet the band so badly. I love this, the way the whole thing just sounds, the organic-ness of it all, to me it's actually right on par with the original by Toto. Truly a refreshing break from all the shit that is dominating the airwaves.
