Apocalyptica, a group of cellists who play rock and heavy metal with their cellos, got together with Till Lindemann, the lead singer of my favourite german band Rammstein, and recorded this re-imagining of David Bowie’s classic “Heroes”, with german lyrics, for their latest record “Worlds Collide”.
I found this fan video of this awesome song with German and English lyrics incorporated so you shouldn’t feel too lost, but I would encourage you to listen to it at least once without reading the words, as it is a very powerful song, even if you don’t understand the lyrics!
Here is a great song from a great album released back in the 90’s. The album itself took longer to release than to make due to it being made up of a mishmash of samples from other artists and it took years to licence everything, but this video in particular will give you a good feel for how much fun the album was.
