Amphettamine Reimagines Type O Negative Classic “Anesthesia”

Amphettamine has taken on one of gothic metal’s darkest anthems with a brand-new reimagining of Type O Negative’s “Anesthesia.” The single, out now, is a heavy, haunting tribute that stays true to the original’s shadowy essence while twisting it through Amphettamine’s own post-grunge and industrial-tinged lens.

Behind Amphettamine is Brazilian artist Amandha Ribaski, who says this track has always felt personal:

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Type O Negative, and ‘Anesthesia’ is my favorite. It’s a song I wish I had written. It carries the kind of lyrics I connect with and the kind of instrumentation I bring into my own music. Covering it felt like the right tribute while I work on my second album.”

Amphettamine’s version doesn’t just echo the doom-laden weight of the original — it bleeds with Ribaski’s identity, bridging the darker tones of her early material with the direction of what’s next. The track also gives fans a first taste of the sound shaping her upcoming full-length.

Amphettamine first surfaced in 2020, carving out a space between gothic metal, post-grunge, and industrial, with lyrics grounded in real-life darkness and raw emotion. Guest musicians round out the project’s recordings, but the heart of the music remains Ribaski’s voice and vision.
