Dayseeker is stripping down their sound on their upcoming acoustic album, Replica. With the album announcement, they also dropped a reimagined version of“Burial Plot” featuring Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo.

The reverberation in play with the vocals creates an atmosphere for the listener that assists with impacting the message… Read more »
Sleep Theory hop on the reimagination train with their new version of their song, “Fallout.” Departing from the original nu-metalcore, hard rock sound, the act flexes their ability to be somber, yet vulnerable while still encompassing the full power of the track.

The previous rendition generates rage-filled regret about a bad relationship.… Read more »
