It's time to bring some more visibility to alternative music on Hive, and what a better place to find it than the Vibes competition?
So I decided to scroll through all the entries of this week, looking for the dark side of the m... - I mean - of the Vibes ⛓

Well, among all the lovely poppy radio songs and the usual tide of Christian songs about Jesus and the Lord, I manage to find some black pearls. Turn off the lights, because we love our music like our coffee... darker ☠️

I'm starting easy with this entry from @gabrielinhomusic and his band **Alttocalibre** who covered *Feel Good Inc.* by **Gorillaz**

Guys, I've appreciated your attempt to play a song that's hard to be heard covered, good job! You have some work to do and there's a lot of space for improvements but you just keep going and your effort here will be rewarded 💪

Here we got @lyon-89 and his vocal skills on a **Breakin Benjamin** song, *Never Again*

What to say? Great voice, great screams, love it. Amazing performance as always.

Let's get to the lower frequencies with our Hive bassman @musicandreview and his playthrough of *I want out* by the power metal band **Helloween**

That's a milestone in heavy metal history and you gave it justice, my friend 🤘

Now we dive deeper in the darker side, thanks to my man @david.dicotomia and his vocal rendition of **Marylin Manson**'s *Rise of the red flag*

Not an easy song to sing for sure! But hey, he doesn't give a fuck 😏 and also adds the riff with the keyboard! Great

Now we have @joanm897 playing some serious guitar shredding on a **Stratovarious** song, *Stratosphere*

Holy crap! I'm so happy to see some serious guitar work here on Hive finally! We're in good company, could be the right time to create a guitar community soon?

I can't really end the post without sharing my own entry, in case you haven't seen it

*Feed the riot* is one of my original songs that you can find in my album *Blinded in chains*. This is an alternative version available only in the deluxe edition. If you'd like to support my work, you can buy my album as a music NFT for 40 Hive on NFT Showroom (links at the end). I want to be generous: if you buy it now, just comment here so we can get in touch and I'll send you all the alternative versions of the songs that are in the deluxe edition 🙌

Well, end of the line. I hope you appreciated this alt side of the Vibes. This is not to add more competition, it's a celebration. For us all. Let's be proud together of what we're doing, knowing that probably is going to get less attention than the other entries out there...

Every performer mentioned here got a 2 Hive tip from me and is getting 10% of this post payout. So vote strong, comment and share, thanks 😁

Since it's a tough work scrolling through all the Vibes feed to find out these pearls, I invite you to add the tag #altvibes to your next entry if you think it could fit into this format. It will be easier for me to find you.
Also this will easily become a curated collection of posts in the future, a way to gather all the alternative music performances from the Vibes competition.
