German nü-metalcore outfit Oceans have released a cover of System Of A Down‘s breakout hit, “Chop Suey!“. Vocalist/guitarist Timo Rotten weighed in on their take on the 5x multi-platinum single, offering:
“Toxicity was one of my favorite albums when it came out, but I hadn’t heard it in a while. Then Thomas dug it up again a few weeks ago and the question immediately came to my mind: How would this sound with growls? And whether I could do it at all. We just had to try it out. Did I get it right? I think you have to decide for yourselves.”
While the System Of A Down infamously kept their discography short, the music they did manage to release continues to resonate. Notably, diamond-certified emo rap star Lil Uzi Vert issued his own cover of “Chop Suey!” this past June.
