[@ShdwCoMerc09ShadowCompany]

DOOM 2016 and Eternal music by Mick Gordon left me unprepared for this.

[@er4din903]

i have no clue who the person behind this channel is, and the fact that this video found me anyway means that it is being recomended by the algorithm to straight up metal and spiritbox fans, just based on the quality of the cover. My jaw is on the floor and any and all of my expectations have been snuffed and sundered like the last dying rays of the Sun. Thank you for this, sincerely.

[@britonro7975]

What's absolutely incredible about this is that it's her first solo cover, so I think even long time fans were caught off guard by how good this is. I certainly was

[@K-J-A]

not only for those who like metal, I like rap and rock and I was also recommended this "out of the blue". I liked it so much that it even went to my dark playlist! But I looked up other songs/covers of hers and didn't find any in her channel... I was confused and impressed that I was recommended the first one 😯

[@astrosteve]

Apricot is a vtuber. She normally plays video games on Twitch and then just sort of dropped this out of nowhere. We knew she liked singing but we weren't expecting this.

[@delfintine1285]

perfect explanation of what im thinking

[@PinkGaeWhistle]

​​@@britonro7975 its crazy, I don't like Vtubers but this song is a massive banger

[@fibsh546]

Given Froot's naturally soft and soothing voice, the second half\end of the song hit me like a truck. I wasn't expecting her to pop off like that, but holy SHIT did it sound badass.

[@bleachgod1995]

I'm in fact was awe shocked by the exhale and growls. If that the case of what Froot did. I'm not well verse in heavy metal lingual. But no, I'm very very happy with her performance.

[@ShdwCoMerc09ShadowCompany]

Kinda sounds like Elena Siegeman

[@MustiToshiro]

I always thought Froot's natural raspyness in her voice would be sooo fitting for metalcore vocals, but oh my god, to have the balls covering a Spirit Box song as your first official cover, and THEN actually delivering a great take on it!!!

[@deadman0315]

The great thing about Courtney’s vocals is she’s is a master at the fundamentals. So covering her is probably a perfect choice for someone still learning. It’s impressive she did so well though

[@deadman0315]

She’s doesn’t go too crazy with techniques which makes it sound much more simple but beautifully simple

[@Whysp]

Call me a motherboard cause I think I just got fried from those vocals

Mouse, Nyan, Silver, Froot, and Hime can all sing very well, and Mel has done a few songs before as well with Ghost Data and such. Also Kson and Nazuna are great singers! That's 8 out of the 11.

[@antstics5578]

I’m upset at myself for waiting 2 days after this was released to listen. This was soooo sick and instantly going into my heavy queens playlist once it’s on Spotify.

[@VampyrMygg]

I keep listening to this again and again, VTubers doing metal is less common, so that in itself is unique, and something appreciated as a metalhead, as I don't always know the random Japanese songs that is more common for VTubers to cover. But also... the fact ya are able to do the proper screams at the end is beyond impressive, and a fairly rare ability for a lot of female vocalists, thus the ones who are able often gains fans, like the vocalist of the song covered, and vocalists like both that were in Arch Enemy, and the one in Jinjer, etc. But besides that I find myself very taken by the quiet bits, not the whispers, but the soft singing, the kinda husky voice we're used to from you... really sounds good in the softer singing, amazingly so too, the fairly deep voice has always been part of the charm along with sounding almost hoarse at times, but it really translates well to song, along with the fact you actually do seem to have range when ya go up into head voice, and it's a very soothing tone there too, I really hope this opens to more songs from ya Froot, and while I definitely would hope for more metal, I think any genre would be great to hear from ya. Your voice do remind me a little of the female vocalist in a band called Mandragora Scream, which is a band I always enjoyed due to her unique deep husky voice.

[@Azureal05]

Holy shit I love Spiritbox, never imagined anyone covering this song let alone a friendly lich. Well done froot damn good.

[@FiltyIncognito]

Screams at 3:05 = instant fav! Damn, Froot! You killed it! You sound awesome!

[@SunsetAlgorithm]

SB has been in heavy HEAVY rotation in my everyday life since The Beauty of Suffering. Doing a cover can be very tricky for an artist, not wanting to deviate from the source material to much while retaining your own sound. Tremendous cover, nothing makes me happier than execution and you fucking nailed it. The imagery was also just spot on. Excellent job

Dark shall replace it and we shall rejoice in the night. Our people need not fear the light. Dunno. Listening to this cover just made something click in me. Thank you Apricot.
