German thrash metal band Godslave is making waves with their latest release—a bold and unexpected cover of Samael’s classic track “Rain.” Known for their own unique blend of thrash with an upbeat attitude, the five-piece from Saarland reveals a side of their influences that fans may not have anticipated.
While the band has always embraced a diverse range of musical influences, it was bassist Mika’s admiration for Samael’s distinct sound that led to this surprising cover. According to Mika, Samael stood out due to their unique style, and “Rain” in particular has always held a special place in his musical journey.
The result is a powerful rendition that stays true to the original while adding Godslave’s signature flair. Lead singer Thommy puts his own twist on the vocals, while guitarist Manni’s dynamic leads elevate the track to new heights. The cover blends the iconic atmosphere of Samael with the high-energy thrash Godslave is known for, creating a bombastic yet respectful tribute.
To celebrate the release, Godslave has created a dedicated landing page for fans to explore more about their musical influences, the story behind the cover, and the process of selecting this unexpected yet striking song. You can find all the details about their musical journey and upcoming plans at their official page.
