Vie Jester – The Outsider
Vie Jester provides an accurate but darker reworking of A Perfect Circle’s famous hit “The Outsider,” boosting the song’s emotional and dynamic range. The cover keeps the original’s “melodic” rock spirit while moving deeper into the progressive universe, with changing tempos and a dynamic vocal performance that ranges from quiet whispers to strong, almost savage outbursts. The band successfully maintains the song’s energy and progressive structure while adding further distortion and volume, making this version even more heavy and raw. The guitars hit harder, giving the music a more aggressive edge. Vie Jester’s interpretation of “The Outsider” is an emotional tribute that honors the original’s core while also elaborating on its darker themes. Fans of A Perfect Circle and progressive-tinged hard rock will like the band’s approach to this classic, which combines respect with originality.
