Everyone loves a good melody, no matter where it comes from!
In fact, some people are not easily satisfied with the sweet, addictive vocals that we find in timeless songs.
What is even more well-known to music lovers is that:
Music has no limits, borders, and LABELS!
Apart from some tenacious Rock/Metal fans, the rest of us know very well that this particular scene “lives” away from stereotypes!
And this is proved by the covers they chose to make, thus breaking the upcoming hypocritical – spiteful comments!
After all, one thing that is common to all Metal bands, is that they love to “darken” anything bright and sappiness!
