Killswitch cover HOLY DIVER : Your thoughts

[A Toolish Circle]

I wonder who recorded / mixed / mastered it


any ideas ????

the tone is fucking killer and i heard it was a Soldano SLO100 with warren haynes and depth mods done to it by Mr Mike Soldano himself

 

[poidaobi]

Tone Killer.

Singer Voice = :zombie:

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

I liked the sample I heard. Very cool!

 

[gumplunger]

I didn't Howard could sing like that. He's a long way from Blood Has Been Shed, but he's a damn fine singer.

 

[EtherForBreakfast]

I think its fucking classic..

you can see his stripes... you know he's clean.

 

[KeithRT99]

i like the cover, it works. i think howard's vocals fit decently too.

Just heard the clip on Kerrang's site. That is some seriously badass shit!!!

Can't wait to hear the whole song.

Same here. Howard is a great singer.

 

[Raven_1959]

I have the CD the cover's on and, whilst it seems he yells for yelling's sake, Howard does have a good voice.

 

[Razorjack]

I love it!! I think Howards voice lends itself perfectly to the song.

 

[Muttley]

It's not a bad version at all. Vocalist nails it perfectly... right up until he starts the cookie-monster bullshit at least.

The guitars sound good, but unfortunately they've seemingly forgotten the groove of the original whilst trying to nuMetal it up. Where's the swing guys, it's way too mechanical.

LOL, the managed to make DIO sound like MetalCore... %)

What do you think of Mullet For My Valentine's version of Ozzy's Crazy Train? I hope that they'll play that when I'm going to see 'em in ~10 days.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

Link please?

 

[ttiwguitar]

I think it's an awesome cover, Howard's voice is great. Sounds really good too. Drums sound very natural to me, a lot moreso than on The End of Heartache at least.

Oh, and nice cymbal cutout right before the fill at about :54 Adam.

It's only a clip though I could imagine that they might put it on their MySpace sooner or later.

 

[Kazrog]

Metalcore? Nu Metal????? Are you guys high?

Killswitch owns you.

The original technically didn't "swing" either, if we're being technical.

 

[SickBoy]

Great voice, awesome sound, lameass cover - that sums it up IMO.
Oh and don't listen to Arch Enemy's Symphony Of Destruction, a perfect example how to ruin a great song. uke:

OK, OK. Maybe I should have said groove.

My comment still stands though.

I didn't think that was too bad TBH. But then, I'm not a big fan of the song anyway.
