Song of the Day: Doro feat. Rob Halford – Total Eclipse of the Heart

Posted on

I can’t say that two metal legends taking on an ’80s pop/rock power balled and karaoke staple was a move that I saw coming, but when those two legends are Doro Pesch and Rob Halford and the song in question is “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” well then, at the very least you’ve got my attention.

And while the duo don’t offer up an interpretation that’s dramatically different from Bonnie Tyler’s original rendition beyond beefing it up with some heavier tones, they both sing the hell out of it. And it’s also fun to see Halford gesture dramatically while possibly wearing laser gloves (or maybe it’s just a trick of the light), a look that brings to mind what Freddy Krueger might look like if he was also a Sith Lord.

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” is taken off of Doro’s latest release Conqueress – Forever Strong And Proud, out now via Nuclear Blast.
