Classic Cover: Seething Akira – “Insomnia” (original by Faithless)

Portsmouth’s own electronic rock powerhouse Seething Akira have unleashed their high-octane cover of Faithless’ iconic track, “Insomnia,” available now on all streaming platforms.

The band commented on their take of the legendary dance anthem: “Faithless’ ‘Insomnia’ is one of the most iconic electronic tracks of all time. With our cover, we set out to honour that legacy while reimagining it through the raw intensity and high-octane chaos that defines Seething Akira. The result is a powerful collision of nostalgia and modern aggression.”

Seething Akira are renowned for their unique blend of metalcore’s crushing intensity and EDM’s euphoric energy, all infused with a distinctive British grit. Their music aims to forge connections and create lasting bonds, uniting diverse musical worlds with their diamond-cutting breakdowns and Berlin-club-worthy techno breaks. Having shared stages with acts like Don Broco, Skindred, Killswitch Engage, and Sleep Token, and having decimated stages at festivals such as Download, Bloodstock, and Victorious, the band’s live performances are a testament to their hopeful philosophy and electrifying stage presence.

For Seething Akira, music is about more than just a sound; it’s a reminder to embrace life’s wonders and cherish experiences and connections. Their latest album, Cancel Estate, continues this ethos, offering a powerful statement about what it means to make the most of every moment.
