Thursday, time for a cover.
"A Forest" is a song by the English rock band THE CURE. Co-produced by Mike Hedges and the band's Robert Smith, it was released as a single from the band's second album "Seventeen Seconds" on 8 April 1980. It was their debut entry on the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 31. The accompanying music video was first shown on BBC's Top of the Pops program on 24 April 1980.
Recorded and mixed over seven days, along with the rest of the songs from the album, "A Forest" is representative of THE CURE's early-1980s gothic rock phase. The song has featured on the band's setlists for many years. Several versions have appeared on concert albums, and it was remixed and released as a single from Mixed Up in 1990.
Serval cover versions have been made over the years and I notice that the tune has been here before, last time it was with James Leg, read about it here: https://tuneoftheday.blogspot.com/2018/04/james-leg-forest.html. Today's version is a bit harder than his đ
The Polish extreme metallers BEHEMOTH have made a version, a video for their cover of "A Forest" by THE CURE. The song also features Niklas Kvarforth, singer of Swedish black metal band SHINING. The song is taken off of BEHEMOTH’s new EP also titled “A Forest”. The EP was released May 29 via BEHEMOTH's own label New Aeon Musick. BEHEMOTH released "I Loved You At Your Darkest" in 2018. Check out the video below.
