[Funeral Portrait]

Vader - Raining Blood (Slayer, DUH)

 

[Funeral Portrait]

Black Dahlia Murder - Paint It Black [Rolling Stones]

That wasn't Black Dahlia Murder, it was The Agony Scene. They sound almost exactly alike though.

Graveworm's cover of Iron Maiden's Fear of the Dark.

Amazing rendition.

[Esteban]

Axel Rudi Pell - Forever Young
Iron Savior - Delivering the Goods
Gamma Ray - Long Live Rock 'n Roll

[chris-o-fer]

Decapitated "Mandatory Suicide"

 

[6Metal6God6]

Iced Earth - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Iron Maiden)
Overkill - Space Truckin' (Deep Purple)
It's not a cover but i like Mechanix from Megadeth, its the same song as Metallica's The Four Horsemen but they stole it from Dave Mustane after they kicked him out.

 

[SculptedCold]

Arch Enemy - Aces High

Absolutely awful cover. At best it's an insult to Iron Maiden.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

I second Alien Ant Farm. That is just one of the fucking best covers ever, no joke. It's just so hilarious.

To contrast, every song off Tribute To Carcass - Requiems Of Revulsion is pretty much horrible.

 

[Burkhard]

Megadeth - These Boots (Nancy Sinatra)
Metallica - Am I Evil (Diamond Head)
Coroner - Der Mussolini (DAF)
Voivod - Astronomy Domine (Pink Floyd)
Voivod - 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson)
Mekong Delta - Night On A Bare Mountain (Mussorgsky)
The Gathering - In Power We Entrust The Love Advocated (Dead Can Dance)

 

[kajsborv]

Satyricon - Orgasmatron
Embraced - Big in japan
Naglfar - The Evil That Men Do

Three enjoyable covers.

 

[Goffdahl]

I cannot believe noone has mentioned Life of Agony's "Don't You (forget about me)" (Simple Minds). Damn I love this track!!!!

Some other enjoyable songs are In Flames' cover of Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts", Graveworm's cover of Pet Shop Boys' "It's a Sin" and The Sins of thy Beloved's cover of Metallica's "The Thing that Should Not Be".
