Surprise! In Flames has just dropped its covers EP Down, Wicked & No Good, which you can check out below. The EP contains covers of Alice In Chains' "Down In A Hole," Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," "It's No Good" by Depeche Mode, and a surprise live version of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. The band began teasing the EP this week, and then just dropped it without warning. Here's what In Flames had to say about the Depeche Mode cover.
“We’ve been fans of Depeche Mode since we were as young as 10. Getting to do our rendition of ‘It’s No Good’ showed us a different side of the song – it brought new meanings to us. We relate to the lyrics and power of the song so heavily that it almost feels as if we could have written it ourselves. They’re a band that we’ve always looked up to. Growing up, you either listened to Pop, Synths or Rock and even though we are a metal band, Depeche Mode inspired a lot of the electronic elements we use in our music today.”
Down, Wicked & No Good is available at all digital retailers now.
