Norwegian progessive metal outfit Leprous have released their cover of a-ha’s 1985 classic synth-pop track "Take On Me" on streaming platforms. The track was created during Musora’s "Covers On The Spot" challenge, which tasked the band with reworking the classic by their fellow Norwegians in a single day. You can listen to the full song in the video below.




A longer behind-the-scenes video documenting the whole process and performance is also available on the Musora YouTube channel right over here.

I think Einar overdoes it a little her but it’s a fun cover idea

Starting with Pitfalls they fucked up their music. Now they are doing the same to other bands' music too.

The amount of crying people do over a pretty decent cover is pretty funny.

Oh no they aren't making the exact kind of music a random person on the internet wants them to
