German heavy metal band BLACK & DAMNED have released a brand-new music video for their latest single: a powerful cover of Falco’s legendary hit “Jeanny”, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the song’s original release in 1985.

Guitarist Micha Vetter recalls his first encounter with the track:

“Back then, as a 17-year-old, this song immediately grabbed me by the balls! The story and the emotions of the song completely captivated me. I had been a fan of Falco for a few years, but this song burned itself directly into my brain! Falco was an outstanding artist for me. I didn’t just see him as a singer – he was simply the epitome of a true artist. Jeanny wasn’t just a song, it was a monument he had created! And now, for the 40th anniversary, we wanted to pay homage to this song, a tribute so to speak. Of course, the song had to remain as original as possible, but we also wanted to create a version that sounds like BLACK & DAMNED. As a metal band, we naturally had to include a little guitar solo, and we wanted the song to sound bombastic. That’s why we made it “big” with a full orchestra. And since everything about the original was perfect, we even designed our video as close to the original as possible, so Falco fans can relive those days through our version.”

“Jeanny” is out now on all digital streaming providers at: https://blackanddamned.rpm.link/jeannyPR

The story of BLACK & DAMNED began in 2020, when guitarist & bassist Michael Vetter (ex-Pump) and vocalist Roland Seidel (ex-Wasteland) decided to break out of the global lockdown paralysis and form a new band. Their sound fuses the energy of Iron Maiden, the darkness of Black Sabbath, and the playfulness of Helloween.

Their first two albums, Heavenly Creatures (2021) and Servants of the Devil (2023), both produced by Achim Köhler (Brainstorm, Primal Fear, a.o.), gained strong attention in the metal scene. After touring with acts like Vicious Rumors, Rage, and Tankard, BLACK & DAMNED released their third opus Resurrection in March 2025 via ROAR here, produced by ex-Primal Fear guitarist Stefan Leibing. The result: a profound, melodic, and melancholic heavy metal album filled with lasting anthems.

With “Jeanny”, BLACK & DAMNED now bridge worlds – paying tribute to one of pop’s greatest icons while stamping the track with their unmistakable heavy metal signature!
