Former Skid Row singer Erik Grönwall has taken Europe's euphoric anthem The Final Countdown and made it "slow and dark"

Erik Grönwall onstage with Skid Row.

Former Skid Row frontman Erik Grönwall has taken one of rock's most euphoric anthems, Europe's evergreen classic The Final Countdown, and given it an unexpectedly dark makeover.

Grönwall, whose departure from Skid Row was announced earlier this year, describes his cover as "dark and slow", and while it retains the original's epic sweep, it definitely isn't as upbeat as Joey Tempest & Co.'s version. To add to the sombre vibe, the video finds Grönwall exploring the rather stately environs of his local castle, Noors Slott, about 20km north of Stockholm Airport.
