Classic Cover: AVTR and Ivy Marie – “Breaking the Habit” (original by Linkin Park)

Holy crap, this is a great cover. The promo describes it as “cinematic”. I’d go for “spine-chilling and rousing”. AVTR and Ivy Marie have taken one of Linkin Park’s many classic numbers and absolutely made it their own.

AVTR has teamed up with Ivy Marie to unleash a dynamic haunting cover of “Breaking the Habit”, a song by Linkin Park that embodies the loneliness of the lyrical content that crescendos to match the anger of feeling like you are stuck in the same loop over and over.

“Breaking the Habit” is a power song. It’s anthemic. Deep and captivating. For me, it’s always been one of those songs that were just impactful from first listen. I thought it was one of those songs that deserved the cinematic treatment.

I wanted to keep the integrity of the song. The raw, visceral nature of it, but I wanted to show the solitude and desperation in the lyrics by building it up slowly but then completely dropping out for the first chorus. Then make it loud and screeching for the final to show the depth of the lyrics and how it really is.

The track is available to stream / purchase right now.
