A women’s choir from the Emsland region of Germany performing “Chop Suey!” by System of a Down with a live band at a sold-out Stadthalle in Papenburg sounds like a fever dream, but Schola Surwold pulled it off with full commitment. Arranged by Jetse Bremer and directed by Patrick Schütte, the performance features violin, piano, guitar, bass, and drums alongside the choir’s full polyphonic vocal treatment, turning one of metal’s most visceral songs into something cinematic, ominous, and genuinely stunning.
