Kerian Von Hayden is an artist based in Leipzig, Germany specializing in blending different genres to create something entirely new. An example of this is his latest release, a synthpop rendition of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. This re-imagination of the famous classic features Jaki Nelson, known for her version of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes in collaboration with DJ Fluke. Kerian influences from various artists, ranging from iconic bands like Depeche Mode to modern contemporary artists like Alan Walker and Billie Eilish. In this creative performance, the artist innovates in creating a brand-new experience for a definitive song.

Being his first cover song, Kerian delivers a vibrant take on a timeless classic. Showcasing his talents and passion for creating an emotive song with a new experience. Despite the ambient electronic changes, the original melody is retained making it enjoyable for both synthpop and Metallica fans. This track is the artist’s dedication to creating new music that brings about new experiences. On top of all the ingenious modern sounds, Jaki’s expressive and immaculate vocals perfectly complement the track’s instrumentals, giving it a complete soundscape. The song features many vibrant layers of synths, each stacking up on each other effectively. A simple electronic drum beat carries the track from start to finish, dynamically changing according to the song’s structure, keeping listeners hooked. Small details keep the song fresh such as the faint sounds of the strumming of an acoustic guitar in the beginning referencing the original. This adaptation features striking synths contrasting the fragile vocals, ending in a satisfying conclusion.
