Today, progressive death metal outfit, Dååth, presents their rendition of “Run”, by French electronic duo Air, featuring Cynic’s Paul Masvidal. The track comes in advance of the band’s European tour with labelmates Rivers Of Nihil as well as Cynic and Beyond Creation, set to begin later this week.
Elaborates guitarist Eyal Levi, “Our version of Air’s ‘Run’ has been a long time coming. It’s a creepy, weird song I’ve wanted to cover since I first heard it. Back in 2009, while touring with Cynic, I heard Paul Masvidal’s vocoder vocals every night and knew we needed him on this cover. He agreed, but by the time we started planning, Dååth was on hiatus, and the idea was shelved.
“Fast forward to now: we’re touring with Cynic again on the Aggressive Progressive European tour with Rivers Of Nihil and Beyond Creation. Perfect time to revisit the song, and thankfully, Paul agreed. This is a weird song. If you haven’t heard it, listen to the original, then ours. To do it justice, we needed an unconventional mix that could also go full metal. Gautier Serre, of Igorrr, was the obvious choice. If he can handle Igorrr, he can handle this – and being French, he already knew the song. The result is truly unique. If you’re expecting pure extreme metal, you might be disappointed – and that’s fine, because we do what we want. See you on tour!”
Listen to Dååth’s cover of Air’s “Run” below:
Dååth began their journey in 1999 and stayed busy for just over a decade before its 2011 hiatus. In that time, the band released four studio albums – Futility in 2004, The Hinderers in 2007, The Concealers in 2009, and their self-titled LP in 2010. Tours with Slayer, Nile, Cattle Decapitation, Dark Funeral, Cynic, Dragonforce, Goatwhore, Chimaira, Dying Fetus, and Devildriver followed. Dååth also landed a coveted spot on Ozzfest playing before tens of thousands of fans in outdoor amphitheaters across the US, in addition to the infamous and long-running metal tour Summer Slaughter.
After twelve years on hiatus, Dååth found their ideal new home at Metal Blade, signing to the label and wasting no time creating new music, cover songs (Death’s “The Philosopher” and Morbid Angel’s “Where The Slime Live”) and reissuing previous albums. The first new song from the revitalized Dååth, “No Rest No End” (released ahead of The Deceivers album in February 2023), features guest solos by Spiro Dussias and now-Dååth member Trujillo, who impressed Levi so much while guesting on the track that he was invited to join the band.
Dååth lineup:
Eyal Levi – guitar
Sean Z – vocals
Krimh – drums
Jesse Zuretti – orchestration, synth, guitar
Rafael Trujillo – lead guitar
