(Good) Metal Covers

[Ducky]

Kowloon Walled City's cover of Low's "July" is probably my favourite ever cover. It keeps the vibe of the original, but is also heavy-as-shit. Bonus points for it getting me into both Kowloon Walled City and Low

Had Nevermore's "Dead Heart in a Dead World" on earlier and it struck me just how good their cover of "The Sound of Silence" is. If you didn't know the original you wouldn't bat an eyelid at it in the track list. The lyrics fit the tone of the album perfectly, and the music they use fits perfectly.

[Mithrandir]

I'm not really a fan of metal covers but always thought this Morbid cover was crazy as an idea on the Repugnant album. There was never any official recording of this song, all there is is a barely audible live bootleg. One of the best tracks on a near perfect album.

I like this one also, the Beatles are my most hated band so this is the only time you'd get me to listen to one of their songs

Related to the Nevermore one above, I quite like Sanctuary's cover of The Doors' Waiting For The Sun:

Their version of White Rabbit is class.

[Born of Fire]

I've always found it mad that Another Vision was a cover. Best song on the album by far 

[Sworntothecans]

This is great.

[The Great Cull]

That Nevermore cover of Sound Of Silence is cringeworthy. I always skip if when I have the album on.

I always liked Morgoths version of Darkness by Warning. Like the original too mind you.

[Trev]

Keeping the Nevermore theme, I always liked Danes version of Paul Simons Patterns on his solo album

[The Heretic]

Not metal but I always thought the Neurotic Outsiders cover of Duran Duran's - Planet Earth was really good...

Always like that Heir Apparent cover.   

I might get shot for this, but I've always loved Skyclad's cover of Emerald (indeed I would stick it on before the original).

[Western Viking]

Sepulturas cover of The Hunt and Crowbar covering No Quarter were always favourites of mine.

[Thorn]

Great shout for Skyclad doing Emerald there Anvil, really raises the hackles in a way the original doesn't quite do for me.

[open face surgery]

I haven't heard the Skyclad version but that's a fuckin retarded statement
