In a year marked by triumphs and a meteoric rise, Waterlines, the Yorkshire / Manchester quartet, culminates their debut year in a blaze of innovation. Their latest release, a dance metal cover mashup of Ultrabeat’s classics “Pretty Green Eyes” and “Elysium,” serves as an electrifying testament to their boundary-defying musical prowess.
From gracing the stage at Bloodstock to delivering a quartet of singles that garnered widespread acclaim, Waterlines has etched their name into the music scene’s collective consciousness. Now, they aim to disrupt the traditional December soundscape dominated by seasonal tunes, offering a unique antidote with their metal makeover of iconic club anthems.
“Pretty Green Eyes // Elysium” encapsulates Waterlines’ audacious approach, seamlessly blending the infectious beats of Ultrabeat with a metal edge that’s both exhilarating and unexpected. The amalgamation of these club classics transformed into a modern metal club floor filler is a testament to the band’s penchant for genre-bending creativity.
The accompanying video, filmed at Reading Rising, offers a captivating 12-hour immersion into Waterlines’ world, providing a glimpse into the band’s energy and ethos. Frontman Ben Mars sheds light on the inspiration behind this audacious fusion:
“At our live shows, we noticed the crowd’s enthusiasm when soundchecking tracks from Britney and Backstreet Boys. We realized heavy music fans have diverse tastes, with pop hits sneaking into their playlists. Why should anyone have to seek elsewhere for their pop fix? At Waterlines, we’re here to serve up noughties bangers and then hit you with a breakdown, all neatly packaged in three and a half minutes. Consider it our gift to you, you cheeky sausages. WDGAF!”
Initially exclusively available on YouTube, “Pretty Green Eyes // Elysium” promises to captivate audiences until December 21st, after which it will be accessible on Spotify and all major streaming platforms. It’s a musical journey that seamlessly bridges the divide between disparate genres, inviting listeners to revel in the unexpected fusion of nostalgia and modernity that Waterlines effortlessly delivers.
Prepare to be enthralled as Waterlines redefines the boundaries of musical exploration, inviting you to embrace the infectious energy of club anthems transformed into a dynamic metal experience. With this audacious release, Waterlines stakes their claim as innovators, daringly melding genres and inviting all to join in their sonic adventure.
