Synth Covers of Metal Classics Amazing Synth Covers of SLAYER, OPETH, BURZUM, MAYHEM And More Will Get Stuck In Your Head! Throughout 2014 and into 2015, synthwave as a genre has been bleeding into the metal scene by way of artists like Gost , Dan Terminus and Perturbator and labels like Blood Music. Its not a bad thing! At the heart of both sounds there are some similarities, such as pounding drums, relentless riffs and even some shreddy bits here and there. Obviously "similar" is a loosely-used term here but you get the picture. So in my synth-seeking adventures, I came across Werkstatt Recordings. That label had released a compilation titled Altars of Synthness , which you seriously need to check out. Physical copies are already sold out, but you can enjoy those ghoulish nightmarish synthesizerish tunes for FREE so help yourself here. 144.
