Overlorde (who released Keeper of the Flame on Metal Massacre 8(?)) - In The Year 2525

Unfortunately there's no youtube clips for it. Didn't actually know this was even a cover until recently... was quite a surprised to see how many people have covered it!

and there's heaps of others too!

The Dutch death metal band Eternal Solstice also did a cover of this song. I like the original version a lot.

I like RIOT's "When I Was Young" (originally by Eric Burdon & The Animals) a lot!

That's a great song indeed, but I haven't heard Riot's take on it yet. Ramones also covered this one on their FAN-TAS-TIC "Acid Eaters"-album!

Some other covers I really like :

TYPE O NEGATIVE - "Black Sabbath"
PLACE OF SKULLS - "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" (The Animals)
LUCIFERION - "Blasphemer" (Sodom)
SANCTUARY - "White Rabbit" (Jefferson Airplane)
CROWBAR - "No Quarter" (Led Zeppelin)
ABSU - "Deathcrush" (Mayhem)

Good cover-albums :

DECEASED - "Zombie Hymns" (still looking for "Rotten To The Core")
VADER - "Future Of The Past" (but NOT the Black Sabbath and Depeche Mode-covers...awful!)
METALLICA - "Garage Inc."
NAPALM DEATH - "Leaders Not Followers" (part 1 and 2)
NATIVITY IN BLACK : A Tribute To Black Sabbath" (the first one, from 1994)

Does anyone have PUNGENT STENCH's cover of the early 80's German electro-doom-Masters WARNING's "Why Can't The Bodies Fly" to share? Always wanted to hear that one...

I saw Solitude Aeturnus do an amazing cover of The Apparition (Fates Warning) in the 90s. I just wish I could find an audio version of it.

I know Golden Earring, but I hadn't even heard of the original. The song is from an album released in 1991 :lol: and not the cover isn't very good. The original is better, but isn't that interesting either.

Oh, and nowhere near anything remotely related to heavy metal.
