Greek metallers FIREWIND recently recorded a cover version of the NEVERMORE song "Believe In Nothing" for the Century Media Records 2CD compilation "Covering 20 Years Of Extremes", which is scheduled for release on September 15 in Europe and on October 14 in North America. The track is now available for streaming at this location.

The all-covers release "Covering 20 Years Of Extremes" celebrates Century Media<'s 20th anniversary and includes 32 mostly exclusive recordings and will be available in stores for the price of one CD. Sticking to the "keep it in the family" slogan, CM approached its artists about covering songs from other acts within the label's repertoire and the response from the musicians was overwhelming. Some choices were obvious and homages to the bands that influenced them, others were inspired picks. This combination ended up leading to a heavily entertaining and truly special final result across all sub-genres of heavy music.

That looks to be an awesome covers album. I really look forward to:

WOLF covering MOONSPELL's "Alma Mater"
CRYPTOPSY covering STRAPPING YOUNG LAD's "Oh My Fucking God"
WATCH THEM DIE covering BLOODBATH's "Breeding Death"

10:1 the Cryptopsy cover of SYL is going to be absolutely fucking psychotic and schizo, I can't wait!
 
Would have preferred Detox (my fave SYL song ever), but I too am excited to see how much more ADD-riddled Cryptopsy can make an SYL song. It'll be interesting to hear it with some real bass playing.
 
The Firewind version is certainly better than ATR's version, mainly because the vocalist sang like himself rather than attempting to do a lame impression of WD.
 
I still haven't heard the ATR version.... sad I know.

Is - that's the same reaction I had when I saw that. I sort of ...... huh?.... reaction. I like some of Brand New Sin (tequila has a few decent tracks on it), but of all the songs of IE to cover.... tsk tsk. I want someone to cover the Gettysburg trilogy, but acapella. now THAT would be an impressive IE cover,.
 
Paul Simon? From the TV show Simon and Simon?

Remember the Roboz?
