Ronnie James Dio Gets A Modern Makeover With Sershen & Zaritskaya’s Cover Of Rainbow In The Dark

Sershen & Zaritskaya
Rainbow In The Dark
Ukraine
 
The Sershen and Zaritiskaya phenomenon rises further as the Ukrainian No Apology side-project, known for releasing fiery cover versions, enter 2024 with their rendition of Rainbow In The Dark. Ronnie James Dio would be very proud indeed to see his music further its reach and become symbolic in even more interesting ways. Since the Russian invasion, which has seen mass murder and destruction in the name of crooked national security, the brave Ukrainians have done everything they can to carry on as normal. By releasing this song, the band can be sure that the new single will help to elevate their story in the global talking shop for years to come.
 
The track enters with the classic guitar riff. The mixing has elevated the sound to bring out a raw and modern heavy metal edge that sounds slightly new. Daria Zaritskaya begins to sing. She hollers the vocals in a powerful volley of paced and pitch-perfect lines. The guitar chugs and burns behind the vocal with neat harmonics and chord blends that add all the oomph we can handle. As the middle eight bursts into the scene a guitar solo repeats the iconic section from the classic song with a few extra bits of flair in the setting for good measure. If you want an alternative version of Rainbow In The Dark that sounds as energetic and as passionate as the original yet with a woman at the helm and an extra salute to the people of Ukraine, find your Rainbow In The Dark in Kyiv.
