Acres have shared a new cover of HIM’s “Buried Alive By Love.” You can check that out below. The track is from the new deluxe edition of “The Host,” which will be released on November 6.
Vocalist Ben Lumber commented on the cover:
“When we were planning a cover, HIM were instantly the first band that came to mind. They’ve been such a huge part of my life and honestly one of the main reasons I ever wanted to be in a band. When I was younger, my friends and I would spend hours in the garage learning and playing HIM songs so getting to bring ‘Buried Alive By Love‘ into the world of Acres all these years later feels like a proper full circle moment. It’s our way of paying respect to a band that had a massive part in shaping who I am as a musician.”
He also added the following about the album:
“‘The Host‘ has always felt closely connected to the ‘What It’s Like to Feel Worthless‘ EP, so doing a deluxe version felt like the perfect way to bring those two worlds together and close out this era of the band. We loved the idea of putting everything into one record, but also giving people something new with the additional tracks and different versions of songs.
We’ve always been into reworking our music whether that’s stripping a song back, a live version, or letting it exist in a completely different way. As music fans ourselves, we’ve always loved when bands give you another side of a record you already know, so it felt right to do that with ‘The Host.‘”
