    That was the most amazing version I've ever heard. This song was a childhood favourite and I collect different versions, including trance. This is the only metal cover I've ever heard of it, and it's like the one I've been waiting for my whole life! Thank you, PelleK.

    When I searched for "Toto Africa Metal" I was expecting to find an ironic version for meme purposes.... Actually found greatness which could stand on its own.
    Amazing recreation, amazing voice, and of course absolutely nailed those harmonies for the chorus.
