Sea of Treachery: "Misery Business (Paramore)"

Posted by aubin on Thursday, April 24, 2008 at 7:00 PM (EDT)

Sumerian Records death metal act Sea of Treachery has put together a surprising cover of Paramore's big hit, "Misery Business" complete with death growls, blast beats and all the metal trappings. Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams commented on the cover:

Sea of Treachery's cover of "Misery Business" IS better than the original version. Faces will be melted. Floors will be punched. Change will be picked up. Limbs dismembered. but really, this is just a note to the dudes in the band: Thanks, guys, for taking the time to cover a Paramore song. For whatever reason you did.

You can (and should) check it out here.

it sounds to me like they are actually into the song.

Yeah, either that dude has no range or Hayley is pretty impressive.

dudes with hockey pucks in their ears are pumped.

Paris_In_Flames (April 24, 2008)

holy shit. sad thing is this is better.

24HourPriapism (April 24, 2008)

what's the big deal with paramore? it can't be the music....is it because the girl is (or was) underage or something? she's not even that great looking.

True that, she isn't very cute.

BarleyPat (April 25, 2008)

Agreed. But then, people also think Paris Hilton is hot. You could walk across any college campus in America (for example) and in 10 minutes, see at least 20 women that are better looking than that waste-of-space skank. Paris, I mean, not the Paramore girl. End rant.

BarleyPat (April 25, 2008)

I guess she must be cute to pedophiles and 15 year-old boys.

misfit949 (April 24, 2008)

OMG HAHA Ummm did anyone tell these guys this song is about hooking up with a guy? LOL!

and by the same i mean, i actually thought i was listening to the paramore version until the vocals kicked in.

thisisapen (April 24, 2008)

I kinda love it.

Gotta show off "the guns."

Just when i thought ironic covers couldn't get any dumber, they go and do something like this...

...and totally redeem themselves!

I need to see Dumb and Dumber soon.

signaldistress (April 24, 2008)

that's a funny cover, only they left out all the pitch correction that you can hear in the original

LORDSHREDDER (April 24, 2008)

It sounds too close to the original, but better naturally.

This band is NOT Death Metal, its the typical hardcore kids posing Death Metal. Or does nobody know what metal is anymore? Oh well. The rest of their songs on here are boring, breakdown based verses/choruses.

ew, i agree with you

Thus_Spoke_Sean (April 24, 2008)

except for the part about the cover being better.

HOISTDATRAG (April 25, 2008)

I was about to post the same. I can not stand fake metal.

douglas_is_rad (April 25, 2008)

the proper term is "deathcore", although "total crap" is an equally reasonable name.

pdxtoph (April 24, 2008)

absolutely love it.

letthebeatdrop (April 24, 2008)

i can't stop laughing.

this is a joke, right?

Probably about the same as Michael Jackson does.

crackpotdemagogue (April 25, 2008)

hey man, don't diss jacko. i once seen him in the pit at a slayer concert, and he was tearing it up so hard he actually killed a few people

KurtTGS (April 25, 2008)

Swing and a miss.

Matthew330 (April 24, 2008)

More Half-Faithful Half-insane covers like this one, please.

xjustx24 (April 25, 2008)

Such a good cover!

BarleyPat (April 25, 2008)

Holy fucking shit that is terrible. I guess it's pretty entertaining if you know the original though? Interesting, um "vocalist".

Salvador (April 25, 2008)

This is damn fucking funny.

eat that paramore.

Piata (April 25, 2008)

Holy shit. I'm in tears. This is the best cover I've heard in years.

canaandrumzz (April 25, 2008)

LOL at gang vocals
