With over 180 million streams, it’s one of the most streamed songs in the world – but the Swedish hard rockers took up the challenge and created something that sounds like DEAF RAT and the original track.
While the band waits for the world to open up again for live shows, they are now releasing a cover version of the classic Madonna hit “Like A Prayer“. Singer
Frankie Rich says: “I always treat the creations and works of other artists with great respect. It’s important to understand the song and the work behind it before you start taking things apart. With a well-produced song like this, all the details of the recording are there for a reason, and they’re all played in a certain way for a reason. The biggest challenge for us was to find a way to create something that sounded like DEAF RAT while keeping a lot of the parts on the original track.” DEAF RAT released the album “Ban The Light” at the end of 2019, which received great reviews from the metal press. In October 2020, her latest single to date, “Within The Dead Souls”, followed.
DEAF RAT is the band that fills the cracks in the aging concrete between old school and modern hard rock. Lead singer Frankie Rich and guitarists Pat Kramer and Max Landerhave spent the last eight years together touring Europe in air-conditioned minivans, sleeping on the floors of fans’ homes, and sometimes even living in their recording studio to afford the production costs of tours and albums.
Now they are back with a real catchy tune and megahit!
