A new metal reinterpretation of Internet Girl, originally by KATSEYE, is scheduled for release on March 12 as the first officially licensed metal cover of the song available on streaming platforms. The track features vocals by Fae Fatale, a Los Angeles-based singer, in collaboration with producer and musician Derek Hung.

The project originated through interaction on TikTok, where Hung shared a metal instrumental version of the song incorporating the original KATSEYE vocals. After receiving a comment suggesting the addition of more aggressive, “girly scream’’ style vocals, he invited the vocalist to participate in a full collaborative cover.

The remix gained early online traction, with the TikTok instrumental clip attracting significant engagement, including a comment from Megan Skiendiel.

Based in Anaheim, California, Hung is a metal vocalist, guitarist, and producer with a following of over 60,000 users on TikTok. His career highlights include a feature appearance during Thirty Seconds to Mars’ 2023 performance at Lollapalooza and his work leading the metal projects Catalust and Luxe Exit. His latest single has surpassed 200,000 streams and forms part of the promotion cycle for an upcoming collaborative album with Dal Av.

The remix was mixed and mastered by Scottay Seigel, whose portfolio includes work with acts such as Woe Is Me, Jackson Rose, Darknet, and Andy Cizek.

The single release is accompanied by custom artwork and a Spotify Canvas visual created with digital artist Eliza. The visual concept combines cyber-goth and digital-grunge aesthetics while preserving the emotional tone of the original composition and reflecting the artistic identities behind the project.

Get ready!! This metal reimagining is about to hit your speakers!
