Last week, melodeath supergroup Cemetery Skyline shared their cover of the 1989 Cyndi Lauper hit "I Drove All Night". Today, the band has premiered the official music video for their take on the song with a music video directed by Brendan McGowan

Keyboardist Santeri Kallio shared the following:

We were in the middle of writing the songs for 'Nordic Gothic' and the tracks were flying back and forth over the Baltic Sea when Markus suddenly came up with the idea to record a cover version of the 80s classic 'I Drove All Night'. Some may consider it as a Roy Orbison hit, but back in high school I used to bang my head to the wall with Cindy Lauper's original version. So as an old fan of the song – I just could not resist the idea. The rest of the band soon joined the excitement to give this classic a new and darker crust. I also like to think that Markus' passion for vintage cars had something to do with the idea to cover a song which is all about manically driving in darkness the whole night. We basically changed the song's Cadillac to a hearse and all was set.
