This version makes me feel like I'm in a boss fight.

[MMK]

Now I'm imagining The Weeknd just in a racing car being flawless in his own mission.

[drax]

I find it amusing that this cover is what I am hearing over the radio at my work, instead of the original.

[Theodax]

HOLY SHIT!!!! I knew from the teaser video a few days ago that this was going to be something special. But, NOTHING could prepare us for the blisteringly EPIC results we just heard and saw!!!! Sure, several other bands have covered this song with some really amazing versions. THIS is by far the greatest among them so far! His metal sensibilities and musical instincts are on full display here. The video production is also LEAPS AND BOUNDS beyond what we've come to expect from Skar Productions. I'm going to be listening to this version for WEEKS!!!! It's simply infectious, addictive, in short.... PERFECT!!!!

Now this is how you "Metalize" a pop song!

[jaron]

I'm playing this on my friend's phone over Bluetooth speakers at a party before ever hearing it, that's how confident I am that it's a banger 🫡

[havelock]

This works so incredibly well as a metal cover.
10/10

[justedjj]

I swear, EVERY SONG in metal cover go 0 to 100 in seconds, but anything that you put your hands on just turn into a masterpiece!🔥🔥 Love your videos ❤️

[sebben]

Wow, this should blow up, probably the best metal cover of a song I have heard!

[maik]

This takes me in a whole new level when writing.

[TheHiveGuardian]

This is one of those songs that I get so excited to show friends and family because it's somehow nailed every aspect. This cover can't be improved on.

This is the definitive metal version of Blinding Lights, my friend. You've done it.

[Oilburnerful]

You totally killed
Metal always makes a song better. But this is a whole new level.

[SerenaSpaulding]

snap! I absolutely ADORE this cover coupled with the Starlord jacket! *chef kiss* 🤩

[lauralarson]

This is criminally underrated. Awesome work.

[Daniel_Gil]

Oh man this version is awesome. All the power to go through a boring afternoon at work.

[YuuSen]

THIS IS AWESOME!

That part at 2:51 was such a cool transition! I think i like this more than the original already 😆

Your vocals have gotten so good too! Awesome cover 🔥🔥🔥

[Maximus]

Best Metal cover of this song I've heard

[schuylerschultz]

all I can say

HOLY.
FUCK.

There's a phrase that I like to use sometimes whenever I hear someone cover a song and the cover ends up being exponentially better than the original, so I'll use it here because I mean every word of it.


This is your song now, Skar.

[kaeldrarhiannon]

Skar, I've loved your music for many years, and this song is just as epic and amazing as your other covers.

But I gotta say, MAJOR kudos for the strobe warning at the beginning of the video. I've had seizures before and sometimes get migraines if I stumble across an unexpected strobe effect in videos, which 90% of people do not tag or warn for in any way. It makes me so happy whenever someone is considerate enough to give forewarning for this. Thank you. :)

[Taylorb]

you have Crazy talent. Love the fact that it's not just a bunch of screaming.
