Kroppskontroll covers Dia Psalmas on new single 'Balladen om lilla Elsa'
Kroppskontroll, a Stockholm-based band bringing a mix of modern old school EBM and industrial metal, has released an industrial version of Dia Psalmas’ 90s hit “Balladen om lilla Elsa”.
The band, comprising Patrik on vocals, Tess on drums, and Leia on the keytar, blends modern and old school EBM with industrial elements. They formed in 2022 and are known for their energetic beats and powerful vocals. Their discography includes the upcoming album “Diskoteque” set for release in 2024, and singles like “Kängdans”, “Schablonliv”, “Spring,” “Buskjäger”, and the recently released “Balladen om Lilla Elsa” in 2023.
Dia Psalma was a band fusing punk, folk rock, and metal. The band, which reunited in 2006 and released a compilation CD “Psamlade Psalmer” (Collected Hymns), also released a new studio album “Djupa Skogen” (Deep Forest) in 2007 and continued to tour and produce music until they announced their dissolution in 2011. Despite this, they made a brief appearance in 2012 at the 30-year celebration of their label, Birdnest Records.
You can download the track on Bandcamp.
