September 14th, 2020

Westhofen, Germany-based gothic metal group Crematory have filmed a music video for their cover of Distain!’s ‘Like The Tides’, which can be viewed below. The original version of ‘Like The Tides’ appeared on German synth pop band Distain!’s 1996 album [li:quíd].

Speaking about the song, drummer Markus Jüllich said: “This song has been a part of my life since the nineties and symbolizes an emotionally charged ballad, which is perfectly fitting for Crematory. I would say it’s like the 2.0 version of our ballad ‘Perils Of The Wind’ [from Crematory’s September 2000 album Believe].”
