brutal bands covering heavy classics and other softer songs

[Rosa Negra Imortal]

I've got Six Feet Under's Graveyard Classics and I found it very cool...it was very funny to listen to Smoke On The Water and Purple Haze with death vocals
So, do you know any other brutal bands that have covered heavy classics or any other softer songs (not only heavy metal)?

 

[Itay]

iron maiden songs:

Crade of filth - Hallowed Be Thy Name

depite it's crade-of-filthness, it is a really great cover!
i like it better then the origina...
it's just genius (sp?)l


Children of Bodom - Aces high

I only heard it once, and i don't remember so much, so i can't comment about it

 

[bleed for me]

i don't know if this counts but obituary did a cover of circle of the tyrants

 

[Devilish monster from the hill]

there's that cover album that Vader made, they have some really good covers to classic songs in it!

 

[Pierogi]

Decapitated's cover of Slayer's 'Mandatory Suicide' was cool. heavier and faster

 

[bleed for me]

didn't tori amos do a cover of some slayer song?

 

[CAIRATH]

Raining blood.

It's.... odd.

 

[Itay]

your avatar is odd

it scares the hell out of me!

 

[Silentjohan]

Raining blood.

I think it's really good.

Beseech aren't exactly brutal, but they did a cover of 'Gimmie gimmie gimmie' by Abba on their latest album, and it's fucking great, I can't stop listening to it. I even went so far as to put on one of my fathers Abba albums, just incase they've been doing some awesome shit I didn't know about, but alas their version of the song sucks.....

Edge Of Sanity did a cover of 'Invisible Sun' by Sting (or the Police, whoever) which is cool.

By Celtic Frost? I'm pretty sure that Opeth did a cover of COTT too. Opeth also did a tribute to Iron Maiden - Remember Tomorrow, I'm not sure if it's a IM song because I'm not the biggest IM fan in the world.

Both of these songs are on MAYH re-release (or re-re-release, whatever).
