"Blinding Lights" by Feuerschwanz


 

The video for tongue-in-cheek German medieval metal band Feuerschwanz's cover of Toronto, Canada artist The Weeknd's 2019 universally acclaimed synthwave single "Blinding Lights" seems to check almost every box.

Bagpipe intro? Check.

Fellow in chainmail armor rocking a two stringed bass made from a poleaxe?  Check.

Attractive violinist dancing seductively? Check.

Implication that this foray into a castle with full backline and a bird of prey is all a grog induced dream? Check, check, and check.

For another Weeknd cover, VONALTUM's cover of "Save Your Tears" can be found here.
