I'm not immune to the charms of surf guitar, possibly because all the Dead Kennedys I listened to during my late teens, and possibly because seeing masked surf rock barons Daikaiju in Amsterdam in 2002 was one of the highlights of my trip there.
All the covers I've heard (I Am The Surf Wizards, Surfin Moon, Californian Hunger ) are extremely entertaining, but the best has to be a reworking of Immortal's "Tyrants" that surprisingly manages to keep the ominous spirit of the original, and yet wouldn't be out of place on the soundtrack of a coastal detective show like Terriers. And the photoshopped pics of Abbath and Horgh riding the waves are too awesome for words. Hopefully Xanthochroid don't get so big as to preclude there being more of these in the future.
