If you’re a fan of metal, you probably are familiar with the above song, The Black Dahlia Murder’s “Statutory Ape.” Taken from their 2005 album Miasma, it’s one of the band’s most recognizable songs. Is it still recognizable as a string arrangement, however? It absolutely is. The band tweeted out a cover, as done by Paul Cunningham, and it’s pretty amazing. There’s some other really impressive stuff from Cunningham on his Soundcloud page.
