Hey!

I love cover song, mostly when it's out of range, just like Six Feet Under did with AC/DC or DragonForce with the song from Titanic - I mean if Exodus did a cover of Slayer that wouldn't be so surprising right!

ready to give some examples of that sort? just out of an album, or an EP, or maybe a full album too (SFU but Exhumed did one also and Doro did and Blind Guardian and so on)

I'm adding 2 things: this is for metal cover genre, metal covering non-metal, not for metalsongs covered by classical or country bands - and also open to christmas song, just like Helix or Twisted Sisters

What I have never understood is why Meyhna'ch, being french, decided to cover Sinatra and Paul Anka's version instead of vindicating the original song "Comme d'habitude" by his compatriot Claude François.

that's one I never heard, thank you

maybe they did cover Sid Vicious one? if they don't use french lyrics that's maybe better fit for them?

atmo/melodeath Wardruna

that one is a truly respectable both sides, maybe we could focus on blasphemous covers, taking pop soaps and making it nice metal tracks ? there's some fun feeling and pervert way to disfigure (not in my way of course but you know for peoples)

I don't know so much, we got a lot in french punk, but this one :

It doesn’t get any better than this:

The original song is Where Eagles Dare.

I LOVE this one, haha.

Motherwood - Big Long Now (Nirvana cover) is good

thanx for shares!
yeah Bethlehem one is really fun, even when I don't know the original (or cant recognize!)
same for Motherwood, to me it could be one of their title as far as I know

I can't find isolated tracks for Exhumed, this is the full album, lot of metal cover but start with The Cure (not exactly pop music but ok)

Funny, I've always thought this would make a good black metal cover. I just wish they would let the notes ring in the main riff instead of the sporadic palm muting, and the chorus could maybe have a blastbeat.

That Bethlehem track had very little to do with the Iron Maiden original, without the few unaltered riffs (which stick out like a sore thumb from the rest of the track) they could have passed it off as an original. The lyrics also seemed to include shrieking about the apocalypse which is not present in the original lyrics. Completely pointless buffoonery.

So yeah, two covers of which the former is too faithful to the original and the latter is too unfaithful. It's fuckin' tricky.

In Flames' cover of Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts" on Whoracle is shockingly good. Recognizable to the original, but also fits within the rest of the album perfectly.

ah yes that's a good one!

I remember then this one by Arch Enemy, some grindcover but also this Tears for fears & Oldfield & others

This "Game of Thrones" main theme metal cover is certainly enjoyable. The band also added vocals.

A cover I love is "Ms Salmonella" by lifelover, covered by the band Black Hate. Although, the original song is already amazingly addicting, the cover from Black Hate is just on another level.
