Renowned for their striking covers, as well as their impressive original material, acoustic duo This Wild Life continues in their tradition of stellar acoustic YouTube covers with a re-imagining of Architects’ ‘Doomsday’, which they’ve just released on their channel. When speaking on their motivation to cover the mammoth track with such a radically different sound to the original, Kevin Jordan of This Wild Life says:
“When Doomsday was released earlier this year it moved me both musically and lyrically. Underneath an onslaught of riffs and heaviness was this beautiful melody and devastating story of losing a loved one. It’s always a challenge to make a song your own while maintaining its integrity, I hope we did this song justice.”
The cover is available to watch below. This Wild Life continues to tour in support of their newest album, Petaluma, released earlier this year to tremendous fan acclaim.
