La Marseillaise was written in 1792 by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle and later adopted as the national anthem of France, taking its name from soldiers from Marseille who sang it during the French Revolutionary Wars. Its rising melody and martial rhythm have made it one of the most recognisable anthems in the world. Metal arrangements reinterpret that melody with electric guitars and drums, a version shared online for patriotic, sporting and meme edits. The original artist behind this particular recording is not confirmed.
