Back in June, Swedish rockers Royal Republic kicked off a four-part musical saga featuring iconic disco hits. Each video unveils a new chapter in the tale of The Blastbeaters – a fictional black metal band on a wild quest for world domination.
You may wonder: Who are The Blastbeaters? Basically, Royal Republic in full black metal gear, riding a beat-up Volvo 140 and making highly questionable life choices!
The band has shared a new video along with the following message: “Royal Republic loudly presents: a heavier alternative to the Bee Gees-classic ‘Stayin’ Alive’! This time, our favourite Black Metal band, The Blastbeaters, made their very first music video, ‘Stayin’ Alive’ 2.0! Crank down your windows and put this shit on blast so loud the dead can’t stay dead!”
Check out Royal Repulic’s covers of “Venus” and “I’m So Excited” here and here respectively.
In late 2024, Royal Republic shared a pro-shot video from their Pol’And Rock 2023, featuring their encore medley of Metallica’s Battery and Motörhead’s Ace Of Spades. Watch it here.
