    I've listened to the top viewed covers of this song on YT, nothing came close, not even in the same planet of quality, originality and finesse. The tempo of the drums, the vocal tone, the guitar and bass tone. Its a shame some videos have 50m views while this is at 700k just because there's no clip of someone being funny on camera.

    It's so upsetting to know that the ones who enjoy this song don't bother to check out more of Chaos Divine's music. Want a more epic song than this cover? Go listen to *Beacon* , *Landscapes* , *One Door* , *Contortion* ....
    But those are some of my favorites, (all their songs are my fav). YOU, go ahead and listen to their songs RIGHT NOW and find yourself a new favorite band that will make your brain explode.

    TL/DR: Stop now. This is the best cover of this song you're going to find.
    For some reason I had the itch for this old song from my dad's record collection. But I wanted a heavier sound to it, so I went in search of good covers. This was the first one that came up, but I skipped it, dug deep and worked my way back up. Should have started here. This is the best cover I've found on youtube (after about an hour of multitask searching)
    Great job this is a great cover of a great song

    • @rogue42bdf
      @rogue42bdf 6 років тому +1

      Adam Christensen you want heavier? Check out Leo’s cover over at Frog Leap Studios.

    • @adamchristensen2648
      @adamchristensen2648 6 років тому +5

      rogue42bdf Heard it, and I love Leo and heavy metal, but to me, this kept more to the spirit of the original. Mostly because of the clean vocals and the slower (original), more dramatic tempo. Either way, hats off to Leo...I love his covers, but this is the better cover in my opinion (even if deep down I wish it were heavier lol).

    This is beyond a shadow of a doubt an epic cover that takes a great song and makes it their own. It is worthy of being a bonus track on the new Chaos Divine album, they need to break it in the US, and I want to meet the band so badly. I love this, the way the whole thing just sounds, the organic-ness of it all, to me it's actually right on par with the original by Toto. Truly a refreshing break from all the shit that is dominating the airwaves.

    I don't know why, but I've been spending the better part of my evening looking up 'Africa' covers, and this is sadly one of the few that actually bothers to do the full harmony during the chorus. NOT ONLY THAT, but it's metal and composed amazingly. Literally now one of my new favorite tracks. 10/10. Would listen to again.

    This version is excelent ! Funny story :
    During the landing in Zimbabwe/Harare (my first ever visit to africa...i was a little scared lets say)...this song started playing on my mp3 player. I completely forgot i have this song in the player and also...i NEVER put it on shuffle. It was a really strong WTF moment for me :) but it made my landing unforgetable and also my fears gone. I loved Africa ever since and i hope i come back some time.
