Listen to This Metal Cover of One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” by Kris Norris (Scar the Martyr, ex-Darkest Hour)
Kris Norris — guitarist of Scar the Martyr, formerly of Darkest Hour — has been cranking out metal covers of pop songs lately. And when we say “cranking out” we really mean it: dude’s released THIRTY EIGHT tracks on his Soundcloud account in the past few weeks, including covers of by Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Ricky Martin, Duran Duran, Psy and more. Dude’s a machine. Shit, just in the time it took us to set up this premiere with him he’s posted like five more.
But none have as sweet a thumbnail graphic as this one, a cover of One Direction’s annoyingly catchy “What Makes You Beautiful.” Five shots of Kris’s smiling mug still aren’t enough. Even though we thought there were only four members of One Direction. Whatevs.
Check out Kris’s metal version of “What Makes You Beautiful” below, and listen to more of his heavy pop covers at Soundcloud.
