Ahead of their support slot on Silverstein’s 25 Years Of Noise Tour alongside Thursday and a yet-to-be-announced group, Split Chain has unleashed their punk-fueled take on Type O Negative’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Me.” The track stands as one of Type O Negative’s most iconic songs (it is their most streamed release on Spotify), featured on their 2003 full-length album Life Is Killing Me. Combining the Peter Steele-led band’s dark doom metal with surprisingly poppier elements, the track is a more accessible approach to their gothic metal sound.
