Vestiges / Caulfield - Split (2012)
This little split featuring the metallic hardcore bands Vestiges and Caulfield is just a little taste of what my forthcoming NFT's Got You Covered! post will be about. I'm having a hard time finishing it up though because of the great size of this certain thing.
For now though, this is Vestiges and Caulfield's 2012 split featuring two whole tracks. Both tracks though are covers and both tracks stomp mud-holes in the original piece by its respected artist. The respected artists at hand are The Cranberries and Nirvana. That being said, it is quite a treat to hear such a lovely little 90's throwback like "Zombie" turned into what sounds more like a Goldar from The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers black metal tribute band. Caulfield's "Dive" by Nirvana interpretation is a little more straight forward in that it is just straight-up sludging on Cobain's little forgettable number which one may argue isn't even a cover anymore but just another song with the same name. I'm pretty sure it's a cover though.
Being a fan of "Zombie" by The Cranberries already, it was pretty obvious from when I noticed the cover that I would love it, especially since last year I was tricked by Andrew Jackson Jihad's track "Zombie By The Cranberries By Andrew Jackson Jihad" that wasn't a cover of "Zombie" at all. The split itself is only two tracks with a combined weight of 12 minutes, 6 minutes tops for both bands to butcher their track of choice. I don't mean that in a Tori Amos butchers every song she has ever covered sense but in a double homicide but got away with and looked like a hero ten years later kind of deal. Anyways, enjoy and stay tuned for what's to come.

Dramatic visualization.
