Seething Akira released their cover of Faithless’ “Insomnia”, reimagining one of the most iconic electronic tracks of all time through raw intensity and high-octane chaos. The band set out to honour the legacy of the original while filtering it through the gloriously crushing parts of metalcore and joyfully triumphant elements of EDM that define their sound, creating a powerful collision of nostalgia and modern aggression. Taking the most recognizable moments from the Faithless classic and smashing them together with lashings of British grit, determination and cheek, Seething Akira deliver as many breakdowns that could cut diamonds as techno breaks that wouldn’t sound out of place in Berlin clubs, striving to unite two worlds with more in common than many think. The band has shared their hopeful philosophy with everyone from Don Broco and Ingested to Skindred, Killswitch Engage and Sleep Token, decimating stages at Download, Bloodstock and Victorious. They view each performance as a blessing and a chance to change someone’s perspective with the euphoria they’ve forged, with no barrier between band and crowd in these moments.
