US experimental metal band Tombs have released their cover of the David Bowie classic "Heroes" – check out the video here. 

Speaking about the cover, Tombs frontman Mike Hill said: "We chose this version of the song because it was featured in the soundtrack of Christiane F, a 1981 German film by Ulrich Edel. It's a dark drama about a young girl's descent into drug abuse and prostitution.

"I've been listening to the soundtrack during the band's many trips to Germany and have always wanted to cover the song."

The video was directed by Jaclyn Sheer and Samantha Astolfi, with the German guest vocals provided by Ralph Schmidt (Hëllström, Planks).
