Fear not, for here are witch house figureheads Salem. With five singles, nine official mixtapes and one album under their (studded) belts ('cos they're gothic), the group have decided to unleash unto us their reworking of Britney's latest tooth-grinder Till the World Ends. And it's gone down a treat so far, possibly because they've debased the vocals to such an extent it sounds like it's being performed by an evil Transformer. </p><p>The song is accompanied by a signature Salem video, all fuzzy and mysterious, introduced with a brief nod to the original artist in the form of dancing, grinding, near-naked anonymous American girls who make Britney look like Kate Middleton. This is followed by green-tinted military footage of bomb explosions. Not one to bother the charts, then, but likely to have us lot humming like androids for the next few days. <br /></p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/popandrock">Pop and rock</a></li><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/britneyspears">Britney Spears</a></li></ul></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our <a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html">Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/help/feeds">More Feeds</a></div><p style="clear:both" />
