Love 'em or hate 'em, Falling In Reverse's January single "Watch the World Burn" is one of the most popular heavy rock songs of the year, a dizzying rap-emo-metalcore-pop hybrid that cracked the Billboard Hot 100 and has amassed hundreds of millions of streams. Their newest track, however, sounds completely different.
Today (June 26th), Ronnie Radke's band have unveiled a cover of Papa Roach's nu-metal classic, "Last Resort," which re-imagines the aggressive banger as a melancholy piano ballad.
Unlike so many Falling In Reverse songs that pack in handfuls of genre switch-ups, their version of "Last Resort" is straightorwardly dour and slow from start to finish, and it comes complete with a high-budget video that sees Radke wandering a desolate cityscape and plunking keys in amidst the ruins.
It sounds totally unlike Papa Roach's version of "Last Resort," but according to Radke's Twitter, the band and their frontman Jacoby Shaddix blessed Falling In Reverse with the go-ahead to do it.
Check it out above via YouTube.
Thank you to @paparoach @JacobyShaddix for the blessing to do this! https://t.co/HWHqo7HUfM
