They should do death metal versions of non-metal graveyard classics.

Damn, another cover album! Are bands so desperately out of inspiration that all they can do is covers this year? Or is it a new trend? What I find so boring and unoriginal about covers is most of the time it is songs that have already been covered by countless bands. We already heard tons of versions of the songs and very rarely do they are better than the original.

Written by Lord_Regnier on 16.04.2016 at 20:55 Indeed. What I wanna hear (when it comes to covers) is metal bands covering non-metal bands, vice-versa, or at least cover some underground bands instead of Sellica and Gold Maiden. It's even worse when it's a band covering bands on their own genre. What's the fucking point? =p

Written by Karlabos on 16.04.2016 at 22:44 If you are to do covers, I would say at least choose more underground bands or, if you're to cover famous bands, at least choose less known songs. For example, cover "To Tame A Land", "The Duellists" or "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner" and not "The Trooper", "Aces High", "Run To THe Hills" or "Wasted Years" (these are just examples to make my point).
