Ever since Natalie Prass released her self-titled debut record early this year, we’ve been in love and that love just grew deeper. Recently, Prass stopped by the A.V. Club and took part in their long standing Undercover series, where she took on Slayer’s “Raining Blood” and made it totally her own. As she told Stereogum in an interview…
PRASS: …Growing up in Virginia Beach I was the only girl playing in bands and stuff, and I loved 112, and Janet Jackson, and Aaliyah, and all this stuff, and the boys were all into hardcore and punk. And I had to kinda be like “Oh, I listen to NOFX.” You know, when you’re in high school and insecure and you have to…
STEREOGUM: You have to be a poser for a little bit.
PRASS: You have to be a little poser! Yeah. And so for AV Club, we did that Undercover thing, and they sent the list, and I was like, we’re doing Slayer, “Raining Blood,” because that song is such a part of my past. All the boys, growing up, that was like the song, and me always just being like, “It’s a cool riff.” I’m gonna make it my own, as soon as I saw that as an option I was like, “We’re doing that one!”
