Sisters of a Down?! This time on “Covers” we challenged Fionn, a folk/pop duo, to cover System of a Down on the spot. While it seems like this track would be miles away from their sound, they discovered similarities between SoaD’s Armenian folk inspiration and their own Celtic roots. Can you hear it? Let us know what you think in the comments!

00:00So in a moment, we're gonna play you a song
00:07This is definitely system of adapt
00:10And it's your challenge to reimagine it to change chords rhythms just picturing like Lord of the Rings
00:24No, no, no
00:27Why is it it's just so weird
00:30I'm struggling with that
00:33We need to think of ourselves as a tube of toothpaste
00:37Whoa
00:40Then did you eat the brownies upstairs?
00:45Okay, so today we are at Muzora studio your one stop for music education
00:51Online and we have Fionn here today, which is made up of Brianne and Alanna
00:56Hello ladies
00:58Hello
00:58And we have Matt on guitar and Art on drums and Ben on keys
01:03How would you describe your musical influence pop rock?
01:08Pop rock a bit of folk and a bit yeah a bit of folk a dash of folk
01:13Tell me what your band name means
01:15Fionn it's our last name Finn in Irish
01:18Beautiful all right so in a moment we're gonna play you a song and it's going to be your challenge to reimagine it as a pop rock track
01:26You're gonna have complete creative freedom to change chords rhythms tempos anything you want to make it uniquely yours
01:33The more creative the better sounds good we're ready up for the challenge
01:42No way it's toxicity
01:44Who?
01:46System of a down
01:47Oh the oh it is
01:52I wore the wrong boots again
01:55Oh my goodness straight into drop D I think
02:03I've never heard this song in my life
02:05Me neither
02:07Okay, it's really cool though
02:15It sounds a bit Celtic in this play
02:16Yeah it does actually
02:17Yeah it does
02:26Okay I have heard this I have heard this
02:30This is definitely System of a Down
02:31Yeah
02:31Yeah
02:50It's like a fucking jig from hell
02:55Whoa
02:56Whoa
03:02Oh my gosh
03:04Okay
03:06I had to throw something pretty crazy at you
03:08Wow okay
03:09I'm gonna need to look up some lyrics
03:11There's a lot of interesting opportunities for for harmony so I think we're gonna play around with that a bit
03:16Well because this kind of has a bit of a Celtic feel to it in ways
03:21We're very familiar with Celtic music and we can kind of run with that a little bit
03:25System of a Down are like Armenian American and I'm pretty sure they mix like Armenian folk music into like their like American rock
03:33So it's cool
03:34It's not a million miles off what yous do
03:36The female System of a Down over here
03:38Like ladies and gentlemen
03:39Sisters of a
03:40Sisters of a
03:43Alright we'll get you some lyrics and we'll give you another listen through if that would be helpful
03:47That'd be great
03:47Okay
03:48Now somewhere between the sacred silence
03:52Silence and sleep
03:54Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep
04:00Disorder
04:01Disorder
04:02Disorder
04:03Disorder
04:04Disorder
04:06Maybe we could try and go like soft and sad instead of angry
04:11Maybe we could do soft and sad for the first part of the song and then like build it up to anger at the end
04:15So by the time we get to the then I became the sun
04:19I kind of want to go hard there
04:22I'm not gonna lie
04:23I think that's my favorite part
04:24If there's any place to go hard it's the part where you become the sun so the literal sun
04:29I do like the contrast between like the like
04:33And then like
04:36You know
04:36It'd be maybe cool if I played my acoustic
04:38Bring like a bit of our folk side into it
04:40Ah
04:46I'm trying to get the the groove again
04:48I'd say
04:56If we lean into that vibe you can pull out your mallets and everything you do like
05:01Like just even like open snare like uh
05:04Oh
05:06I love that
05:07Yeah, that's good
05:08There's something like that in general vibe
05:19You're doing you're just sorry you're just holding it
05:21I know just sorry because I'm not used to doing it the other way
05:23All right
05:31That's kind of nice
05:33Yeah
05:33That's like sort of haunting
05:34That's beautiful
05:35Yeah
05:35I feel sufficiently haunted
05:45I just can't
05:46For some reason that just feels so weird
05:48I'm just fucking struggling with that
06:04This there's too many words in that part of the verse
06:06No, it's like it's like
06:07Flashlight
06:10Wait no, I know
06:11You see it's weird
06:12It is weird
06:12It's just like
06:13Yeah
06:14My brain is like
06:15One, two more wood for the fires of our neighbors
06:27There you go
06:28Okay, sorry
06:29Okay, let's just can we do that like two times
06:34Yeah
06:34Can you do that with the pen like that?
06:36So here we go
06:37Okay, time out
06:47I'm only gonna take 10 seconds but I'm here to tell you about Musora where we are taking over the online education space for music

07:03Sick
07:03Sounds good
07:04Oh my goodness, I have such a good idea
07:07What is it?
07:08If we did like the interlude
07:09Four bars where we're all sort of like building like
07:15Like harmony
07:22But then for the final chorus
07:26Oh, one to one the world
07:28Oh, oh, oh hell yeah
07:31Yeah, hell yes, I'm super down
07:34Like going
07:35Lifting the chords
07:37So going like
07:42Yeah, I like that
07:44In perfect harmony
07:52Oh yeah, I had to get that
07:57Wow, so that's why they pay you the big books, Ben
07:59Oh, and then if we
08:00What if then the end like
08:01When I became the sun
08:03I shone into the man's heart
08:04That was just like single guitar strums or something
08:06And it was just us like harmony
08:07Oh yeah
08:08And then we just like
08:09We all cut out and it's just
08:10Then use our like singing in harmony
08:12Yeah, it was like
08:12When I became the sun
08:14I shone into the man's heart
