Just in time for summer, Verona On Venus have released their latest single, an industrial cover of Die Antwoord’s cult hit “No 1″. The reimagined version features a guest vocal performance from Calico Cooper (Beasto Blanco), infusing the track with a fierce, theatrical energy that’s impossible to ignore. Stream the single here, and watch a video below.
Produced by Verona On Venus frontman and former Devildriver guitarist Mike Spreitzer, the cover delivers a gritty, industrial edge that recontextualizes the track for a new generation of heavy music fans. Cooper’s unmistakable presence brings an ethereal yet commanding dynamic to the song’s aggressive tone, resulting in a rework that’s as unrelenting as it is hypnotic.
The single is accompanied by a visually arresting music video directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films). Known for his dark, cinematic aesthetic and collaborations with artists like Ministry, Kat Von D, Cradle of Filth, and 3TEETH, Cordero brings Verona On Venus’ vision to life in a visually rich, monochromatic, stylized world that mirrors the track’s raw intensity.
“‘No 1’ has this defiant, moody, twisted charisma to it,” says Spreitzer. “I wanted to honor that while taking it into much heavier, more intense territory in my own language. Calico brought Yolandi’s spirit to life while making it her own.”
With its grinding synths, pounding rhythms, and dynamic vocal delivery from Spreitzer and Cooper, Verona On Venus’s version of “No 1” is a warped love letter to the original. The release follows the band’s recent single “Pretty,” continuing the genre-defiant streak ahead of the upcoming co-headlining debut at Whisky a Go Go on June 25 with Faith No Gwar, a new band brought to life by Matt “Piggy D. Montgomery (Marilyn Manson/Rob Zombie).
"Prophets Of Addiction is a modern day Hanoi Rocks meets The 69 Eyes with plenty of Pop hooks and Whisky drenched vocals." - Metal Sludge.
