Vika Yermolyeva (aka vkgoeswild),
Award-winning classical pianist, who decided to try something else.





"when she touches the piano, it comes to life" - Barry Harris,

"Just like a great actor takes a play to the next level, so a great musician can find greater depths in a song. She hears every gesture, every clever harmonic turn, every moment of drama and focuses on it, re-contextualizing it in such a way that it seems new again.

Like the fantastic classical musician she is, her covers make an excellent argument for the increasingly archaic role of the performer as just an interpreter of music, separate from the composer.

I can’t stop smiling when I listen to Vika’s covers. They are perhaps the most awesome way yet to show someone that you truly GET metal." - — Alee Karim, "Invisible Oranges",

"Can a lady at the piano sound just as badass as Messrs Blackmore, Gillan, Glover, Lord and Paice did back in 1972? Judge for yourself." - Nick Soveiko, The Highway Star (The Original Deep Purple Web Pages) blog. ,

"your version is the only cover version I have heard that I feel stands out in its own, you have captured not only the song, but the feeling and spirit within - truly incredible." - Graham Bailey from "The Sound"

Hi Vika, I'm from Argentina and i love your's cover's piano adaptions. I wish you could do an adaptation a band from here called SODAESTEREO. The title is "In the city of Fury" (en la ciudad de la furia). really would be happy for several reasons, the story of the letter, our historythat represented us at the time and representing the band here even in many countries. Greetings from Argentina and I expect an answer.

AMAZING!

You are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too amazing, and I sincerely hope that someday you make a video where you also SING, other than play the piano. God Bless Your Talented Hands. P.S: Your cover of Dance of Death, and November Rain, made my jaw drop to the floor.

Very moving rendition of Hurt. Also, noticed the Pagan symbols....there are more of us out there...good to see. Cheers from Los Angeles & Miami.

When I'm watching your cover of 'Before I Forget' and see you at the beginning, the way that you move, then your swift playing of the intro and all of sudden all this energy going through the heavier part, I'm just ecstatic, I feel it all on my skin, something I think is maybe a 1% percent of you may feel while playing. You're just pure beauty to me.
