And Countess Bathory by Candlemass

when did they ever cover that? I can't find it on ANY of their official releases.

Doesn't look like anyone has mentioned Ensiferum's cover of "Into Hiding" by Amorphis, which is really good. I hate to admit that hearing that was how I discovered Amorphis. Another one I didn't see listed is Amon Amarth's cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath." It's a shame the production on it is so bad.

I can't remeber seeing

War Pigs by Sacred Reich and Faith No More (though their version of War Pigs isn't too good tbh) here

or Massacre's Dawn Of Eternity by Thanatos
as well as Dark Angel's The Burning Of Sodom by Thanatos

or Trouble's Come Touch The Sky by Church Of Misery

or Motorhead's Orgasmatron by Sepultura

or Pentagram's 20 Buck Spin by Pale Divine

or In A Gadda Da Vida (not really metal) by both Slayer and Church Of Misery

or Saint Vitus' War Is Our Destiny by Church Of Misery

or loads of covers done by Coffin

etc etc

There are soooo many good covers around it is impossible to list them all

Not a metal song as such, but swedish band Neolithicum Cranium does a pretty mean version of Justin Timberlakes Sexyback. They've got it on their myspace: myspace.com/neolithicumcranium

SOAD- Snowblind (Sabbath)

Benedictum's covers of Heaven & Hell and Balls To The Wall are absolutely awesome!

"Take Your Fingers From My Hair" and "To Tame a Land" are brilliant ones!

Dreamscape covered Dancing with Tears in My Eyes by Ultravox, really enjoyable.

Tad Morose's cover of Uriah Heep's Rainbow Demon is great and so is their cover of Accept's Losing More than You Ever Had.

Shadow Gallery covered Entangled by Genesis and it was really good.

WASP' s cover of Easy Living (Uriah heep) was simply amazing.

I'll be back if/when I remember more covers.

Well, I discovered this thread by accident, used the search-this-topic option for "coroner" and no results were found. So if some of you haven't heard Coroner's cover of The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," check it out. It's one of the most amazing covers I have ever heard in my life.

Yeah, it's great but then again their covers of
Der Mussolini (D.A.F.)
and
Purple Haze ( do I really have to mention the original artist?)

are also great.


another great cover

Gorefest doing Autobahn (Kraftwerk)

@Marcel... yes, those two are great covers too, totally; I just dig I Want You most of all. That one is just mesmerizing.

If you've never listened to Sleep's cover of Lord of This World...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ICzXDyEt0k

it's fuckin genius.

I forgot about Voivod covering Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine which I found to be really great.
