I always really dug the 1980`s version of Obsession by Animotion and then last week i was sitting and surfing the TV channels and quite by accident stopped on MK and was transfixed as if by magic. I listened and by the end of the song i was addicted to this version of the song as if it were a virus! You kick ass. I may be getting old but there is still a rockers heart beating in here. Thanks for a frikkin outstanding version of an all mighty tune. Its amped up proper. Mike.
TERMINATRYX thank you for sharing the video! I’m in a band that does 80s covers exclusively (on a much smaller scale than your group performs), and this is really inspirational. I’ve always felt that if a song is worth covering, it’s worth completely rebuilding, yet kept faithful to the original. And this is a perfect example of what I mean. I look forward to hearing more of your material!
Members of ANIMOTION contacted TERMINATRYX regarding this cover version and had this to say: "Hello there, I was one of the original members of Animotion (keyboard player). My nephew just sent me your video of the cover of OBSESSION & I just wanted to say what a brilliant job I thought you all did! I sent the video to my other band mates who concur! WELL DONE YOU!! Have an amazing day---and BRAVO, once again!" - Paul F. Antonelli (Animotion) Subscribe here for more TERMINATRYX content: bit.ly/43EttDQ / All social media links at: linktr.ee/Terminatryx
This is the type of response I would expect from any band worth their salt, hats off to the guys from Animation for this professional response. Also great cover, love the original and love this too!
Look I'm just gonna level with you, Facts are facts.. This song,this video..is scary in the most awesome way ever. This is the truth..facts are facts.🔨
Great cover. Have been listening to your version for about a year now. Couldn't understand why I like your cover better than others ... then the light bulb moment. You guys made it the creepy song it truly is!
Awesome cover guys - more people need to hear this! And yes, it is patterned after Micheal Des Barres and Holly Knight's version. I like all three versions even though Animotion's is the one that put it out there to the masses. I loved their long version as well with the killer guitar solo that was edited out of the hit version.
Hey Darren, we don't do too many cover versions, but just released our 2nd Remyx album where we added a bonus cover of Prince's When Doves Cry > terminatryx.bandcamp.com/album/remyx-v20
I lived through the era of the original version. It was an era that had great music in all genres. Most of the time when today's bands redo something from this 80s era it sounds like trash. This on the other hand is an amazing version absolutely awesome 👌 👏
Just came across this - holy cow! I always loved the original by Animotion and this is a great and inventive take on it and generally this sound isn't my cup of tea but it works for me here.! I just shared it on Facebook. I love the ending to the fade. More people need to know about this. Strong work guys!
Thank you very much! This week our guitarist Patrick is off to Romania with his other band Mind Assault to play the Rockstadt Extreme Fest! (11-14 Aug, Cetatea Rasnov)
This is one of the top 5 covers i've heard...The other 4 are... Rage Against The Machine....Maggie's Farm Sid Vicious.....My Way Placebo....Running Up That Hill My Chemical Romance.....Desolation Row TERMINATRYX now has my attention, i am now obsessed with this song.. (you see what i done there)
excellent Cover ! Cool band with cool look ! the only bad thing I can say about this cover is that you guys preempted me, because I wanted to cover it with my own band/project. ...but in consideration that I don´t have a band anymore, it´s ok , haha !
Hey Mark - don't know Cadaveria, but Heike is a friend of ours, she did guest backing vocals with our singer Sonja on our track "Outcast" : ua-cam.com/video/ob_lfjs_DBQ/v-deo.html
This TERMINATRYX "Obsession" cover version is on the band's "Remyx v1.0" album - get it at all streaming and download services as well as terminatryx.bandcamp.com/album/remyx-v10
The new TERMINATRYX music video (the title track and first single from the new album) "Shadow" will be unveiled on Friday 13 June (2014). Check it out at ua-cam.com/users/Terminatryx

I honestly don’t think this could have been done any better....by ANYONE. This is probably what the song should have always sounded like.
Wow, thanks so much for the great compliment Jeremy!
(One of the Animotion members actually contacted us and said he loved our take)

I lived through the era of the original version. It was an era that had great music in all genres. Most of the time when today's bands redo something from this 80s era it sounds like trash. This on the other hand is an amazing version absolutely awesome 👌 👏

Hey, you must still do your cover!
Great cover of this song!
Thank you!
This is as good as Michael Des Barres' 2012 recording of this song (and he wrote the original)
Yeah, he did a version in the '80s with co-writer Holly Knight before Animotion had a hit with their version of it.
I had no idea he wrote this
Great song guys! Really digging your sound! \m/
Thanks Stephane!
WAIT! You are from South Africa?!?
