Celebrity mash-up wizard DJ Cummerbund has uncaged his latest bootleg, and we fear it might actually break the internet
This time, our mystery man's feat of sonic alchemy is to combine the brute force metal of Rammstein with one of modern R&B legend Beyonce's biggest choruses. It's Waidmanns Heil versus Crazy In Love, and it's literally awesome.
Adding to the madness are a perplexed looking Jay Z, some shouting from Metallica's James Hetfield, and and a solo from Kirk Hammett.
"Queen Bey felt the need to get heavy," says Cummerbund, "so she joins Rammstein and friends on stage to brutally beat the audience into sonic submission."
Which sounds perfectly reasonable.
Previous sonic sorcery from the magnificent Cummerbund includes a Bandersnatch-style mash-up adventure alongside more traditional examples of the artform including Tool vs. Justin Bieber Old Staind Road featuring Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus, Staind, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Nirvana, Alice In Chains vs. Katrina & The Waves, Rammstein vs. Wild Cherry, Kiss vs. B-52's, Eagles vs. Dragonforce with added Beyonce, Zeppelin vs. Greta Van Fleet, Metallica vs. Earth, Wind & Fire, Ozzy Osbourne vs. Earth Wind & Fire, the Foo Fighters vs. funk king Rick James, Twisted Sister vs. Blind Melon, and Rush vs. R&B superstar Kelis.
