Classical music/Metal covers

[Alfonso]

I don't know if this counts as "metal", but King Crimson's "The Devil's Triangle" from their In the Wake of Poseidon LP has a part ripped off from Holst's "The Planets".

Therion did "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff..
i think it is quite good.. they have also done a lot of clasical "non covers".. try out the complete qarab zaraq (does it spell like that??) lucid dreaming.
one hell of an album..

Dammit, I was just about to suggest that!!

I recommend this cover too. It's from their 'Deggial' album if anyone was wondering. It's a very good cover- they do it very well.

The name I was looking for was Carmina Burana, or a spelling variation thereof.
