Consider the Source recently shared a cover of “Death Whispered A Lullaby” by Swedish progressive metal band Opeth.
“Opeth is one of the few bands who influenced the three of us individually during our adolescent years and later collectively as a group,” the band said in a press release. “They write extended compositions that are emotionally dark and brilliantly tie together sections of extreme heaviness with mellow acoustic passages. Their top-notch production, tight rhythms and catchy melodies have become something we strive for in our own original music.”
The band continued, “We’ve wanted to cover one of their songs for a long time but couldn’t pick just one favorite. We hope you enjoy our interpretation of ‘Death Whispered A Lullaby’ with a couple of our favorite riffs added in at the end from ‘Closure’ and ‘Deliverance’.”
