Killswitch Engage covers Holy Diver (video) - old and new collide

[MetalAges]

I just came across this video for Killswitch Engage covering Holy Diver, and it's good! The video is tongue in cheek funny as well - but done well.

Check it out:

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Its was quite good, until he started screaming. Also the double kick doesn't go with it.

 

[Faint]

I hate his screams. Other than that it was cool.

 

[Fury of the Storm]

that was terrible...

 

[The Ozzman]

that was awesome

Fixed.

 

[Hatebreeder]

That was pretty cool, though the breakdown was incredibly unnecessary and the drums sounded a little off at times.

But I'm glad our metalcore bands are at least trying SOMETHING good.

 

[King Richard]

They did this cover over a year ago.

 

[Ender Rises]

He's so much better when he doesn't scream. The double bass really didn't work. They did it well, though. Very surprising.

 

[Sabin Frost]

Howard is a pathetic vocalist I think, I could half-way respect Jesse Leech as he almost threw up his guts he gave it that much energy, Howard is just the poster-boy for mediocre metalcore singers.

Other then that, its pretty good.

For an interesting new covers old song, check out System of a Down's cover of Snowblind by Black Sabbath. System do a few Sabbath covers, I personally dont really go for them or the band but a friend does and this is better then the others.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

good video, shit screamer. fucking hell, I hate that style all together.

 

[The Ozzman]

Howard Jones is a great vocalist.

 

[Matt]

Good video.

The drummer looks ridiculous though

 

[dimebag2100]

Pretty good cover. I like the way they snuck the pinch harmonics in there

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I've always wondered what the hell was with the lyrics in that song. It sounds like Dio just threw together whatever would rhyme, without bothering to think about how incoherent and silly the words actually were.

Anyway, decent cover. The random double-bass metalcore spasms were pretty ridiculous, but they did add a few things of interest to the song.

Watching the king with that leg of meat made me hungry.

[Fury of the Storm]

Fixed.

the only thing I can say was good was the clean vocals which the guy did pretty well. Other than that, it was crap. Turning the main riff into a metalcore 'chugg' riff, the drummer foolishly throws the double bass around and does that lame fast pace punk beat after the first "Gotta get away, Holy Diver". The scream vocals were to final nail to the coffin.

[Rabid Headbanger]
