While I may not be a big of of Christmas music, I am a big fan of Wham‘s “Last Christmas” and the cinematic metal band Disconnected Souls have done a pretty damn solid cover of it.
On the song, the band’s leader, Fletcher says,
“If you’ve followed DS for any length of time, you’ll probably know that we love doing reinterpretations of Christmas classics, and therefore it was kinda inevitable that at some point we would find ourselves faced with ‘Last Christmas’. To be brutally honest, none of us are big fans of the original! However, we wanted to see what we could do with it and were particularly keen to make one of our friends happy (who had been repeatedly suggesting it). We ended up staying surprisingly accurate to the original music, but focussed on vocal FX / reducing the tempo and adding some more melancholy instrumentation. As always we hope you enjoy and happy holidays!”
