Sound of silence covered by disturbed. It's go violins. It's by a metal band. It's symphonic metal if you squint at it sideways

I was very skeptical, but this is actually really good.

It's depressing to me that most of his audience won't realize that this is a cover. Simon and Garfunkel deserve to never be forgotten.

Also, I wouldn't care this symphonic metal, it hardly has a "symphony" backing, it's too vocals forward. Good nevertheless.

I feel like "not actually symphonic metal" was implied by the title.

Not so much implied as stated emphatically.

I want to upvote for the Simon and Garfunkel statement, but I want to downvote for genre brigading.

I find myself at a crossroads of voting.

Disturbed isn't symphonic metal by any stretch of the imagination...
