metal covers

[ubiquitos]

what do u think are the greatest covers done by metal bands?

mine are:
the final countdown- norther
the trooper- sentenced
hallowed be thy name- cradle of filth

 

[Hell Mike]

Death - Painkiller
Dimmu Borgir - Metal Heart
Marduk - Phantasm
Anaal Nathrakh - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
Those are all great.
I guess they all owe it to the greatness of the original songs.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Some of my favorites:

Decapitated - Mandatory Suicide
At The Gates - The Antichrist
Cannibal Corpse - No Remorse
Aborted - Carnal Forge
The Bezerker - Corpral Jigsore Quandary
Hypocrisy - Black Magic
Vader - Hell Awaits

 

[Nocturnal Silence]

Dissection covered "The Anti Christ", not At the Gates...and I think it's one of the best covers I've heard.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Dissection covered "The Anti Christ", not At the Gates...and I think it's one of the best covers I've heard.

My bad, At the Gates did Captor of Sin...........which also rules.

 

[clangorous]

Sepultura - Symptom of the Universe
Cannibal Corpse - Zero the Hero
Death - Painkiller

 

[Victim of Deception]

Faith No More - War Pigs
Sepultura - Symptom of the Universe
Decapitated - Mandatory Suicide

 

[SculptedCold]

Graveworm - Fear of the Dark

 

[TB666]

Dimmu Borgir - Burn in hell
Otyg - Holy diver.

 

[Hammer of Might]

This is a good thread, but I think it would be good if you put the origina band in brackets, because one or two of them I don't know who did the song originally.

 

[Tauredil]

Otyg - Holy diver.

This one is great.

And I add in no particular order :
Emperor - A fine day to die (Bathory)
Sepultura - Orgasmatron (Motörhead)
Death - Painkiller (Judas Priest)
Dark tranquility - 22 acacia avenue (Iron Maiden)
...

 

[Spirit In Black]

Children of Bodom - Mass Hypnosis (Sepultura)
Children of Bodom - Aces High (Maiden)
In Flames - Murders in the Rue Mourge (Maiden)

 

[Barnolde]

Some of my favorites:

Decapitated - Mandatory Suicide
Cannibal Corpse - No Remorse
Aborted - Carnal Forge
The Bezerker - Corpral Jigsore Quandary

I also like:
Vader - Flag of Hate
Dying Fetus - Born in a Casket

Haven't heard the Vader one but the DF song is really good.

 

[None_So_Vile]

Decapitated - Mandatory Suicide
Dissection - The Antichrist
Children of Bodom - Aces High

 

[Barnolde]

Haven't heard the Vader one but the DF song is really good.

It's on Future Of The Past. Catchy as hell. Also their Outbreak Of Evil (Sodom) and Death Metal (Possessed) covers are awesome.

 

[SLAYER85]

i dont really like em, but man cradle of filth owned hallowed be thy name, and hatebreed does a little bit of slayer - raining blood live, i like that a lot.

 

[Hammer of Might]

No one "owns" Hallowed Be Thy Name except Maiden.

 

[Raumien]

Death - Painkiller (Badass opening shriek)

Metallica - Stone Cold Crazy (Always thought this Queen song would sound good if it were played in a style that was more...well, metal)

Dream Theater - Red Barchetta (Good rendition of the rush track...vocals were a little crappy in some spots but good overall)

Macabre - Jeffrey Dahmer And The Chocolate Factory (Not really a cover, just a rendition of the willy wonka tune....hilarious stuff)

Iced Earth - Transylvania (Would of preferred Phantom Of The Opera, it's a better Maiden instrumental, but this was still dead-on)

Iced Earth - Screamin For Vengeance (Didn't know Barlow could do such a killer job with Halfords higher pitched style, kudos to him)

Iced Earth - Hallowed Be Thy Name (Sure, doesn't top the original, but adds a little more metal to a classic and good god, what a vocal performance again by Barlow.)

Anthrax - Phantom Lord (Kickass Thrash!)

Anthrax - Bring The Noise (Not sure if this could be considered a full cover, or even if some would consider it metal, but it kicked ass either way)

Blind Guardian - Mr. Sandman (It's \m/with a )

Engrave - Evil Has No Bounderies (Fuck yeah)

Opeth - Remember Tomorrow (Excellent)

 

[Life Sucks]

I think I like Dan Seagrave's coveres the best. The covers for Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane, Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines, and all the Immolation covers are cool too, but I don't know who did them.
