Charismatic frontman of MALICE IN WONDERLAND, Chris Wicked, is set to release his rendition of “Utan Dina Andetag,” a catchy and atmospheric take on KENT’s hit, on December 5th.
The Norwegian artist has translated the song from Swedish into Norwegian, crafting a fresh, captivating version that brings a new depth to the original.
“It’s just a beautifully melancholic melody that I feel really suits my voice. After performing it live a few times and receiving such positive feedback, and on top of that, Kent decided to renuite, we felt it was a good idea to record it,” Chris shares.
Earlier this year, Chris Wicked and his band released the single “Northern Heart,” a dark folk-rock track that surprised listeners and received high praise. Now, they follow up with “Utan Dina Andetag,” the first single from the forthcoming EP Black Horns & Black Hooves, which also will feature covers of songs by Danzig and Depeche Mode.
Supporting Chris’ evocative vocals are longtime band members and multi-instrumentalists Marius Mathisen and Eskil Sæter, who provide a richly layered musical backdrop.
