KERIAN VON HEYDEN
Kerian von Heyden Releases Captivating Synthpop Cover of “Nothing Else Matters”
It was covered by the highly talented Leipzig, Germany-born musician Kerian von Heyden. Nothing Else Matters represents an exceptional treatment of Metallica’s enduring ballad through atmospheric electronics without compromising the intimacy of raw emotional moments.
In this new edition of the hit, Kerian is working alongside the incredibly talented Jaki Nelson, who featured in the Platinum-certified performance of Seven Nation Army; emotional vocals that, in tandem with detailed production from Kerian, make a hauntingly beautiful reinterpretation that is sure to please both die-hard Metallica fans and synthpop enthusiasts alike.
In this respect, Kerian reinvents the classic rock anthem “Nothing Else Matters” into an ambient electronic track and does so just as painfully with heart-reaching moments. His production ideally marries compelling synth layers, with the finicky touches that make it really sensitive, adding more to the favorite song that is to your memory.
When talking about his inspirations for the cover, Kerian speaks with a lot of love for both metal and synth music. He tried to reach a balance between strength and fragile-type features to make a version that resonates on many levels. It’s a labor of love, really, about passion and commitment to pushing the boundaries.
Today, that unique tribute will be heard as the proof that Kerian von Heyden can rewrite eternal music so that it may sound fresh while remaining deeply personal.
