In Australien ist die Tech-Death Formation PSYCROPTIC schon längst eine feste Größe auch wenn sie in Europa wohl nicht zu den ganz Großen zählen. Jetzt hat die tasmanische Truppe sich den Little River Band Song `Falling` als neue Cover-Single ausgesucht bzw. in runderneuerter Version noch einmal veröffentlicht. Zuvor war die Coverversion lediglich als Hidden Track auf der australischen CD Version des 2018er Albums “As the Kingdom Drowns” erschienen.
PSYCROPTIC Gitarrist Joe Haley erklärt:
“Back in 2018 I thought it would be a nice treat to have a hidden bonus track for the “As the Kingdom Drowns” album for the Australian only CD release. I figured doing a cover of a song by an Australian artist or band would be fitting. „When choosing a cover song, we’ve tried to seek out more left of field songs that we’re able to mould into our own. Songs that are well written and that work well with our ‘sound’ without needing much extra than us plugging in and playing. Being a longtime fan of John Farnham and also the work that he did with the Little River Band, I thought it might be interesting to try and tackle one of the songs that were performed during Farnham’s tenure in LRB.“
