This is Bad Moon Rising, originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival, but here brought to you by Mourning Ritual feat. Peter Dreimanis of July Talk.
You may have heard it if you’ve been watching The Walking Dead or Teen Wolf; if not, know that this version of the song is the complete opposite of the bouncy, jangly original.
It also appears to be Mourning Ritual’s only tune. Here’s hoping they put out some more.
While we’re on the subject of notable covers, here are The Tonk Honkys of Los Angeles, CA, at CXCW, performing a version of Nine Inch Nails’ Closer that made me seal-clap with glee the first time I heard it.
I am, for the record, a long-time Nine Inch Nails fan, with a lot of feelings about that song. And this cover grows more glorious every time I listen to it.
