Seasoning the Obese is a song by S.O.D. which is life a rip off of Slayer, its hillarious!. I definately recommend this to anyone who likes Slayer!

[walpurgis]

I'll just say to listen to the NIB Black Sabbath Tribute CDs, because they're full of good covers, at least most of them anyway. Burn in Hell by Dimmu Borgir's good, and Satriani covered a couple songs, Cryin', which was originally done by like Billie Holiday or somebody like that, and a song off of his newest cd that I can't remember, ah well, fuck thinking, I'm done.

[Katham]

Ripcord - Starvation [Siege]
Godflesh - 40 Versions [Wire]
Godflesh - Zero The Hero [Black Sabbath]
Halo - Black Sabbath [Black Sabbath]

Warpath - My Own Worst Enemy [Napalm Death]

[Darkenelf]

In Flames - Eye of the Beholder (metallica)

[Tattered]

yeah the decapitated version of mandatory suicide (slayer) is very good, but speeded up:beer:

[Trendkill_420]

A cover you slayer fans should check out is:
Bigwig - war ensemble.

you guys'll like it.

[Tattered]

cheers man ill try and find it..




...just cant remember if war ensemble is from divine intervention or seasons in the abyss......??????????????????????????????.............doesent really matter tho

Is it a rip-off of Seasons in the Abyss?
I haven't heard any of those in a while, but I THINK there were similarities?
Even the name....
Didn't like S.O.D. anyway.

[Katham]

I forgot this one - Uncurbed - anything...

Those guys know how to cover, and they have pretty cool narrations and special effects.

Its a complete piss-take of Slayers style in general. Apparently the singer worked for days on his Tom Araya impersination before they recorded. Anyone who likes Slayer will recognise which songs are ripped of, "DO YA WANNA FRY!". Get it its cool!

[Father Death]

anyone covering Tom Petty is good

message in a bottle by machine head is also good

[An-Ri-Na-Sidhe]

the Darkthrone Holy Darkthrone album rocks!

[danzig]

THOUGH ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE METALLICA, THEIR COVER ON GARAGE INC., OF THE MERCIFUL FATE SONGS AS A WHOLE, ARE AWESOME(11:04) OF PURE METAL.
ICED EARTH DID A GOOD COVER OF ELECTRIC FUNERAL BY SABBATH THAT WAS GOOD. A FUNNY ONE IS THE MISFITS COVER OF MONSTER MASH. PUNK SUCKS THOUGH.

[Lord Malphas]

Mystic Circle - One rode to Asa bay (Bathory)
Immortal - From the Dark Past (Mayhem)
Emperor - Funeral Fog (Mayhem)

Worst cover ever: Immortal - To Walk the Infernal Fields (Darkthrone)

[uuuuhhhhhhh]

Graveworm - Fear of the dark

[reign in blood]

Callenish circle covered pull the plug(DEATH)

[walpurgis]

It's kind of on topic, but kind of not...does anyone like the Orgasmatron covers by Satyricon or Sepultura? I really don't like either one, but I didn't want to start a shitty cover songs thread :)

[morbid_death]

i've never been a big fan of covers but i really enjoyed:

Krabathor - Four Horsemen

so brutal compared to Metallica's original.

another would be:

Cradle of Filth - Hallowed be thy Name

because they just did it so well and didn't just do a generic copy of the original.

also:

Opeth - Remember Tomorrow

off the My Arms Your Hearse re-release

[SandBlastedSkin]

Pissing Razors - Domination (Pantera)

Sepultura - Symptoms of the Universe (Black Sabbath)

[mrweijia]

Celtic Frost

[mrweijia]

really? i thought celtic frost did the other cover on that cd.

[morbid_death]

well i suppose so. because it mentions Celtic Frost for Circle of the Tyrants at the beginning of the paragraph opening with:

"..are the only 2 covers we've recorded." mentioning Celtic Frost and no other bands you are only left to assume the other was also a Celtic Frost song. but i'm not exactly a CF fan so i dont know. i dont really care anyway..Opeth do it nicely whoever its by :D

[Eternal_Sorrow]

Here's 2 real good covers:

mystic circle - cry little sister (by Gerard Mcmann off lost boys soundtrack)

&

Dark Funeral - The Trial (by king diamond)

[A Drowning Mind]

opeth / obituary - circle of the tyrants by celtic frost both r great, as mentioned in the first post

also very well are: earth crisis / black dahlia murder - paint it black (rolling stones)
both very fast and heavy
best slayer cover maybe is vader - silent scream, but there are a crapload of great ones

scar culture - wolverine blues (entombed) kinda nice, cause i never expected someone to cover that song, especially a grind (i think they are grind) band

impaled - carneous cacoffiny by carcass is very good, too...i got the tribute some weeks ago, best track

entombed - march of the SOD / Sargent.D and the SOD

heaven shall burn - the 4th crusade (bolt thrower)

monstrosity - angel of death (slayer)

nailbomb - exploitation (doom)

i bet i forgot the half, ah nevermind

[+--deifiler--+]

cannibal corpse : hammer smashed face

not too hard either :)
