Trivium
frontman
Matt Heafy
has officially released his
metal cover of "Wellerman,"
the song that started the sea shanty TikTok craze.
Heafy had previously teased his version of "Wellerman" during a recent Twitch stream. For the full version, he recruited Hungarian singer
Livia Zita
for guest vocals.
"I didn't pick 'Wellerman' as a cover to do something 'viral,'" Heafy says. "It was one of those songs -- when you hear it, [you think], 'It sounds like something Matt Heafy would cover.' It was suggested by a close pal who thought exactly that."
