When Limp Bizkit first dropped Rollin’ back in the early 2000s, it became an anthem — blasting out of stereos, shaking arenas, and cementing nu-metal as a cultural force. Fast forward to 2025, and Japanese girl metalcore band EMNW have taken that same chaotic energy, turned it up to eleven, and delivered a cover that is nothing short of electrifying.
Their version of Rollin’ isn’t just a tribute; it’s a reimagining. With searing screams, melodic hooks, and tight, pummeling instrumentals, EMNW have transformed the track into a metalcore powerhouse that’s both fun and ferocious.
Why EMNW’s ‘Rollin’’ Cover Works So Well
Covers can be tricky. Go too safe, and it sounds like karaoke. Push too far, and you lose the soul of the original. EMNW found the sweet spot.
Their vocals are the first thing that hits — dynamic, versatile, and commanding. Harsh growls and screams rip through the heavier sections, while soaring clean vocals elevate the choruses, giving Rollin’ an epic, modern punch. The guitars bring crunchy riffs and breakdowns that feel tailor-made for the mosh pit, and the drums? They absolutely thunder, locking the entire track into relentless motion.
Where Fred Durst swaggered with nu-metal bravado, EMNW deliver with metalcore confidence — sharp, precise, and undeniably fun.
A Nod to Limp Bizkit, With a Fresh Spin
EMNW’s cover works because it respects the DNA of Limp Bizkit’s original while layering on their own identity. The iconic chorus is still there, still begging to be shouted at the top of your lungs, but the band’s stylistic shift makes it feel brand new.
Instead of nu-metal’s loose chaos, EMNW bring discipline and ferocity. The breakdowns are heavier, the transitions tighter, and the performance more technically demanding. It’s Limp Bizkit through a metalcore filter — chaotic energy sharpened to a blade’s edge.
For long-time Bizkit fans, it’s nostalgic with a twist. For younger listeners, it’s a chance to experience Rollin’ as if it were born in 2025, not 2000.
