A violin cover of Van Halen’s “Eruption” has been unleashed on the world.
The rendition comes courtesy of Unlucky Morpheus, a Japanese metal band that’s been together since 2008. The star of the show is Jill, the group’s violinist and only musician to appear in the song’s video. With the exception of a few full-band stings, the performance is all hers, and the soloist delivers with a fury rarely showcased on her classical instrument.
Watch Jill rock out to “Eruption” in the video below.
The Van Halen tribute is featured on
Loud Playing Workshop, a new album from Unlucky Morpheus released earlier this month. The instrumental LP features covers of songs by several notable western acts, including Dream Theater, Steve Vai and Racer X.
