The Weeping Song by Cathedral In Flames

Music & lyrics: Nick Cave Choose your streaming platform: Czech goths Cathedral In Flames release a cover version of Nick Cave and Blixa Bargeld’s legendary duet as a show of support for Ukraine Cathedral In Flames were slowly preparing for live shows and writing their next record after the covid, when Putin invaded Ukraine. The band immediately decided to take action. They will donate all royalties and proceeds from their Hang Me High and Bury Me Deep record to support Ukraine, specifically to run Nexta, an independent news channel that brings the breaking news from across the battlefield. In order to draw attention to the cause and raise additional funds for Ukraine from their fans, the band decided to record a cover version of Nick Cave and Blixa Bargeld’s duet “The Weeping Song“ for the first time in their history. Longtime collaborators Eike Freese and Frenzy provided the song with the appropriate master and visuals, both royalty-free. Phil Lee Fall says of the whole thing, “The war in Ukraine is horrible, the terror on children, innocents, the helpless. And our version may be about crying, but at the end it sings “... but I won’t be weeping long“ because I’m convinced that Russia will be defeated in the end.“ And Gatsby adds: “Putin, idi na chuj” Music & lyrics: Nick Cave
