Cover #65: Spider God cover "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys

    Hoh, boy.  Today we have Spider God, a self-described (accurately, I will add) "hyper-melodic English black metal" band covering the Backstreet Boys super mega hit.  I just read about the all-covers album that this comes from (Black Renditions, if you are interested), and honestly I can't take this seriously.  I don't want to hear the original, not ever again, but somehow this cartoonish version is worse.  The chorus parts are okay, but the verse parts are painful to listen to.  Stupidly fast BPM with the scream-growled vocals make it hard to know what's even being covered.  Beyond the novelty, this is not good.
