Reporter Recommends - Reverend Bizarre "Pyramids of Mars"

“Doctor Who” is back in full swing with a new season, and you’re super stroked. All your friends have packed into your lounge-turned-dorm, and you’re ready to watch the Doctor hurtle through space and time on a series of wacky adventures. However, in some alternate, darker timeline, things aren’t so joyful.

Recorded in the 90s by Finnish doom metal band Reverend Bizarre, “Pyramids of Mars” is a slowed-down version of the show’s iconic title track. Featuring heavy guitar riffs and a fantastically cheesy synth, it’s a refreshing take on a classic theme. It harkens to a universe where, regeneration gone awry, a raging alcoholic Doctor is drunk-driving his Tardis chaotically through all of existence. And, surprisingly enough, it sounds pretty sweet.
