Our Take

In a world where covers albums can often feel like stale, half-hearted attempts to capitalise on nostalgia, Covered In Black - An Industrial Tribute To AC/DC stands out as a bold, boundary-pushing reimagining of classic rock anthems. Various artists come together to breathe new life into AC/DC's catalogue, infusing it with a dark, industrial edge that owes more to Nine Inch Nails than it does to Bon Scott.

From the opening track, it's clear that this is no ordinary tribute album. KANGA's haunting rendition of "Hell's Bells" sets the tone for what is to come, with its brooding synths and ethereal vocals adding a sinister twist to the original's thunderous riffage. Elsewhere, MXMS deliver a chilling version of "Highway to Hell" that drips with melancholy, while Randolph & Mortimer's take on "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is a frenetic, pulse-pounding blast of electronic aggression.

But perhaps the standout track is ACTORS' cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long," which strips away the original's bombast in favour of a stripped-down, minimalist approach that highlights the song's underlying sense of longing and vulnerability. It's a bold reimagining that pays off in spades.

Overall, Covered In Black - An Industrial Tribute To AC/DC is a triumph of creativity and artistry, breathing new life into familiar songs and offering a fresh perspective on one of rock's most iconic bands. It's a must-listen for fans of both AC/DC and industrial music alike.
