We've been waiting absolutely ages for this: for the first time ever in their 13-year career, While She Sleeps have unleashed a cover song!

In a new session for BBC Radio 1 on March 27, the Sheffield metallers unveiled a suitably Sleeps-esque cover of Tears For Fears' legendary 1982 hit Mad World – not just adding their own touch to the track, but revamping it completely.

While She Sleeps are playing the Bring Me The Horizon-curated All Points East on May 31. Get your tickets now.
