Metal Band’s Vocalist Covers Avicii’s ‘Wake Me Up’

I find myself guilty of clumping all metal guitarists into the same group. I would not consider myself heavy metal's biggest fan, but when I stumble across things like this I always reconsider. Sam Meador is the vocalist and keyboardist of the metal band Xanthochroid. The complexity of his cover of this tune astounds me. The more I learn about metal (of all subgroups), the more I realize there is much more musical sophistication that meets the eye. Though it can be masked with a loud crashy drummer and a ridiculous amount of distortion, there are some truly beautiful things that happen in many metal groups!

Sam Meador, vocalist and keyboardist of the metal band Xanthochroid sings an acoustic version of the Avicii hit song Wake Me Up. With his unique percussive guitar strumming and plucking style and a voice that would definitely make it in the acoustic genre, Meador's cover of the song is one of the best covers of the song you'll ever hear.
