There are songs that are timeless, that will captivate generations and translate to current world issues. “Shout” by Tears For Fears, definitely is in that category as an amazing track and Switzerland’s Sybreed have dropped their version on Listenable Records.
The beginning of this track hints at the early 2000s future pop electronic sound, until Sybreed launch into the famous chorus, where they hit you with their sonorous industrial metal signature style. Full of conviction, the music video further delves into the how still relevant “Shout” is.
If this was not enough, have no fear. There is a remix by band member Drop and it is this sublime synth heavy mix that will make any industrial dance person deliriously happy. Full of techno styled rhythms, but it is the soaring synths that will make your jaw drop.
Originally written about as way to deal with mental health, it translates now to a world in turmoil, where human rights are being ignored and we wonder when the people will learn to live in peace with each other. For myself, it is interesting that a track I heard when it first came out, still being reinterpreted and this is a good cover by Sybreed and an excellent remix.
