Today, Nils Patrik Johansson (Astral Doors / Lion’s Share / ex-Civil War) surprises his fans with a very special cover version of a great classic.
With “Mercedes Benz,” one of the best Scandinavian hard/heavy singers of our time takes a bow to arguably one of the best rock singers of all time. Ever since his childhood, when he discovered the Pearl album in his mother’s record collection, Nils Patrik Johansson has been a big fan of the incomparable Janis Joplin. With his version, NPJ brings the classic to a more modern, punchy level that invites spontaneous sing-alongs.
All instruments were played by Lars Chriss (Lion’s Share), who was also responsible for the production.
“Mercedes Benz” is available now as a digital single. The official video for the song can be watched HERE at Metalville Records‘ official YouTube channel.
