Violet Tremors' tribute album, "Various Ever Alive: A Tribute to Snowy Red," is a stunning homage to the Belgian post-punk band. The album features covers of Snowy Red's most iconic tracks, reimagined by a diverse range of artists. From the hauntingly beautiful "Euroshima (Wardance)" covered by The Harrow to the pulsating "Madman" covered by Boy Harsher, each track is a testament to Snowy Red's enduring legacy.
Violet Tremors' own contribution to the album, "Blood, Blood," is a standout track that perfectly captures the raw energy and emotion of Snowy Red's music. The vocals are haunting and ethereal, while the driving bassline and pulsing synths create a sense of urgency and tension. It's a fitting tribute to Snowy Red's frontman, Marcel Thiel, who passed away in 2019.
"Various Ever Alive" is a must-have for fans of Snowy Red and post-punk music in general. It's a beautiful tribute to a band that influenced so many artists and continues to inspire new generations of musicians. Violet Tremors and the other artists involved in this project have done an incredible job of capturing the essence of Snowy Red's music while putting their own unique spin on it. Highly recommended.
