(Don’t Fear) The Reaper

Aeph & Willow Knox present a dark, cinematic, chilling take on the 70s rock classic (Don’t Fear) The Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult. The cover opens with warm electronics and Knox’s glacial, hushed vocal. It’s a hopeful and bittersweet mood before you’re plunged into darkness. Blood-curdling impacts and synths, throw the song around like a rag doll. Epic, wailing synthesizers and distorted vocal textures swirl and cascade around. The result is an amazing re-envisioning, a genius subversion of a gothic rock classic.
