Best Metal Cover Songs
The best classic heavy/thrash metal songs covered by modern metal bands.
Not all that modern, but that doesn't make it any less awesome! Chuck's voice sounds mind-blowing. The highs are much very close to if not better than Rob Halford. No disrespect to the Metal God, but the Father of Death Metal really nailed this song
The drum intro is much more aggresive and energetic than the original, and Chuck is the only one who could properly pay tribute to Rob Halford like he did.
Even nails on a chalkboard is better than the Holy Diver cover really.
Sorry but this is one of the worst covers EVER. Starts off OK, then the crappy chug-chug guitars come in... and then the screams... and before you know it its single-handedly destroyed everything that made the original great. Absolutely abysmal. These crap talentless metalcore bands should never cover anything because they ruin everything they come 10 feet near.
Yeah, this cover really is trash. Killswitch Engage is amazing, but Howard's voice just isn't meant for this type of song.
This is the best metal cover ever! A must listen if you haven't heard it yet!
Lame Pantera cover, Go listen to the cover of Strength Beyond Strength by Sylosis much better cover
Awesome cover Carnifex is definitely the best Deathcore band
The Newcomers
Great cover of the song by Abba. Originally released on the album: ABBA Metal - A tribute to ABBA (2001)
Great cover of the song by Gary Moore. Bonus track off of the "Urkraft" album
I honestly think this version destroys the Cradle of Filth one. I feel that CoF gave this song too much unnecessary aggression.
Agreed, I'd go with Machine Head and not with Cradle of Filth, too, because growls are done tastefully here by R. Flynn (not overdone).
Are you kidding me!? 27! This has to be one of the most iconic metal cover songs ever.
They are metal, metalcore, a subgenre of extreme metal.
Dave's voice actually suits this song really well. Great cover of a great song.
