I'm putting together a little music quiz and part of it is guessing pop/rock/mainstream songs covered by extreme metal bands. I've only got a couple so far and I'm hoping you can suggest some more. It cannot be clean vocals since that makes it too easy. I'm looking for cookie monster/growl vocals.

Thanks in advance!

  • Ten Masked Men - Cry Me a River (and every other cover song they do)
  • In Flames - Everything Counts

That Nevermore cover is absolutely brilliant.

It is! I also think their cover of Judas Priest's "Love Bites" is immense!

I actually agree with that as well! Immensily catchy and fun.

Some people probably hate this, but I like it



And speaking of Over the Hills and Far Away, it would be wrong not to mention the Nightwish's cover of the song, which is brilliant.

Swedish Geek Metal band Machinae Supremacy covered Britney Spear's Gimme More.

They also do a badass cover of the Great Giana Sisters theme music, but that's not mainstream pop at all.

Geek Metal is not an official genre... I may have just invented it... but it sounds better (to me) than SID Metal, which is the way the band describe their sound. It basically feels like power metal, but they use a SID chip (from the commodore 64) as a pretty prominent instrument on many of their songs. Lyrical themes often gravitate around video games.

This doesn't quite fall under the definition of cookie monsters, but I think it sounds different enough. Awesome song in both versions:



The same EP should have a few other interesting covers, too. The Cure and Killing Joke, IIRC.

Covers are a loss of space on a CD. Especially covers of shitty mainstream songs, when I always hated the original.
