Covers of death metal songs with clean vocals?

[desert_demon]

We have all heard on various tribute albums classic metal songs covered by death metal bands and singing the songs with death metal growls. Dio, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden tribute albums come to mind.
My question is: has the opposite ever happened? A death metal song covered by a "clean vocal" metal band and singing the song with clean vocals? And would this make the song no longer death metal? Discuss.

Can't think of any good examples right off, but could be interesting.

I don't know any situation like that either. But that I'll love to. Everybody knows here that waht set me off death/black are the vocals, thus I do like Charred Walls Of The Damned.

I would love to have Death albums (specially the last ones) with clean vocals, I think the band is awsome but Chuck (RIP)'s vocals set me off. Another example will be 'Staring Through The Eys Of The Dead' by Cannibal Corpse, I think it'll do for me with clean vocals or Arch Enemy entire catalog

Dream Evil did a really good cover of Arch Enemy's "Let the Killing Begin"

It's on the 20 Years of Extremes best of Century Media disc. It also has Wolf and Firewind doing covers. Firewind does a fantastic cover of Nevermore's Believe in Nothing.

I really like some of the musicianship in some of the extreme bands, but like Brother Vern..... I can't get into the extreme vocals.

I sent a message to you, I agree that only those three bands are of interest for me. All and all, I bet this one must be a riot:

NAPALM DEATH covering HELLHAMMER's "Messiah" :Smokedev:

One day I will tie you to a chair and make you listen to DM/BM/DM-BM bands for 24 hour. Maybe it will make you grow some hair

If that would work I would have had my hair by now dragging on the ground!!

So you can safely say it has been empirically tested and proven wrong!

I'm not exactly familiar with any death metal covers with clean vocals, though I think some Amon Amarth songs would work with clean vocals.
