Synth Single Review: “Heavy Metal (Judas Priest cover)’’ by Nikk Fail, Neko-ly & Pat Matrone

Nikk Fail, Neko-ly & Pat Matrone’s Heavy Metal (Judas Priest cover) captures all of the ferocity and proud defiance of the original. This cover begins as tapping sounds move with a bright synth and Pat Matrone plays a fierce guitar melody, radiating pure muscle as the rhythm rebounds. Dark synth pulses while Neko-ly's voice starts softly but quickly rises to punch the melody with intensity. The guitar surges forward, full of stormy strength, as Neko-ly cries out with raw potency, tearing at the air.

I love the passion and wildness of this cover as the chorus screams, full of fist-pumping power and the hard-edged melody slices like a blade. Pat Matrone supports the feral vocals while the battering drums shatter into shards. His guitar is a force of nature, lacerating as the drums explode with energy.

Nikk Fail’s synth slices before Pat Matrone unleashes a solo that tears through the music with fangs bared, full of complexity as the strings snarl. The forceful beat rams as the screamed chorus exudes defiant pride before the track smashes to a conclusion.

The song celebrates the unadulterated, sinewy power of heavy metal, as a force which electrifies one’s feelings and unites listeners with frenzied energy. The lyrics describe heavy metal as a raging, armour-plated beast forged of steel and leather, charging on forever with colossal force.

Guitars roar, rhythms pound and shock waves ignite the crowd into headbanging and fist-pumping. Heavy metal is healing and exhilarating, creating a timeless surge of power that lifts people beyond their limits.
