Icarus Witch - Roses On White Lace (Alice Cooper Cover)

[krazydevel]

musically awesome but a little too hairband on the vocals



[brnleague99]

The first time I heard of Icarus Witch I was reading a metal magazine (I think Decibel) and I saw an ad for the "Roses On White Lace" EP and I was like, "That can't be a reference to the Alice Cooper song." But it was.

[djmusicjac]

awesome alternative witch tune

[Meadey711]

@xXTATERNUTZZXx looked up that cover , doesn't hole a "black candle" to witches cover bud

[zeldagana]

this sounds like lizzy borden on vocals,anyone know whos on vocals here.

[RotnRoll77]

@zeldagana Matthew Bizilia, the band's former vocalist. He left the band to form a solo project called Habitual Sins.

[fretburner18]

Covers are C-O-V-E-R-S! They're not meant to be carbon copies of the original. They are a band's take on a song that they love. Icarus Witch is an incredible band and this is a great C-O-V-E-R!

[RabidEasterBunny]

This is completley off.

[RotnRoll77]

I don't understand why people don't like this cover.

[Stratonini]

There is nothing wrong with this cover. In fact I think its pretty damn cool. Death metal with it's bellowing vocals just sucks. Any fool can do that. It takes talent to sing actual notes with pitch. This guitarist " Steve Pollick" is incredible. He is now in a prog metal band called Order Of Nine. And this bass player "Jason Myers" is one of the best bassists in metal music. Icarus Witch is very cool.

[sataninacan]

@Stratonini As a singer who sings actual notes and cannot do metal vocals that well, I can say you're gravely mistaken. Singing notes is easy business. Metal vocals are tough.

[Stratonini]

@sataninacan I sing actual notes and Metal music. The point I'm making is that growling/bellowing doesn't require talent, Singing does. DIO sang Metal Music and had pitch, as does Biff Byford of Saxon and Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and many others that sing a similar type of Metal. That type of Metal takes talent. Death Metal does not. That why Pantera did more of the growling bellowing vocals when Phil Anselmo lost his range and voice. I think you may be gravely mistaken.

[unnaturalshadows]

i like how he starts the song in a slower timeing then the original it really solidafies their faggotry. possably the worst attempt at power metal vocals iv ever heard

[salivarev]

Finally a non death metal cover of this song!

[VladvonRuuski]

This is pretty good cover of my favorite song!

[ShadowHunter10]

Seems like a good cover to me

[darius5x]

good job!

[ChimourTheBatFurry]

This sounds sorta like Iron Maiden to me =/

But yeah Alice is better, but this isn't bad.

[PussyDesecrator]

This could have been a great cover. But it isn't.

[metalhasmyballs2]

damn.. this is amazing.

the arsis cover got me to liking the song tho. not much of a Cooper fan.

[alicecoop9009]

This cover kicks ass. and I just cant stand the cover by "Arsis." I can't stand to hear those kind of vocals.

[Razorbladesexorgy]

this is okay

the arsis cover is way better

and alice is way better

[BlackFlames222]

Alice Cooper's version is so great and this is just...not

[razakagee01]

the arsis version kicks this versions ass!!!

[Drummer61190]

Arsis cover is better

[motiff8u8]

One more thing, IF you like Trad Metal, try Widow

,Jex Thoth (both U.S.) Bullet , Enforcer (both Swedish)

All this bands have a distinctive approach to Trad Metal / Heavy Metal though all them are

excellent

[motiff8u8]

This doesn't sound like Iron Maiden at all

Its darker, sounds more recent and the vocals

are completely different.

However I do like Icarus Witch and find 'em quite

original as far as Heavy Metal bands go.

[Seabhac14]

It's more trad metal then heavy metal, which is a fairly new style. You should also take a look at Wolf, White Wizard and Destroy Destroy Destroy.

[motiff8u8]

I don't know White Wizard, the others play frequently in my stereo.

Thanks for the recommendation but Traditional Metal is nothing more nothing less than the Heavy Metal I've heard all my life... That's the real Metal,

do not confuse with hair metal/glam rock.

Now that one of Traditional Metal being a new style really got me in stitches...

[theZodiacDigital]

why would trad be a new style? trad means traditional...as in the old style.

[killingthemslowly]

Too Iron Maidenish i guess. i prefer the Alice Cooper one. These guys are alright i guess, but i think they could use their own sound instead of Iron Maiden's

[xXTheRatXx]

It's better than arsis, (that was just pathetic) but it is nothing compared to the original

[stealawaythenight05]

@killingthemslowly i think icarus witch is unique. theyre not ripping maiden off whatsoever. if you think so, what would you think of the michael kiske era of helloween? they all have their own styles.

[Eliteblue57]

Not a bad cover

[tommyleewannabe92]

Holy shit man these guys should try maiden covers the singer sounds very close to bruce

[Fireinme81207]

wow this sucks, and the solo does suck x.x

[mickniel]

coops voice is simply original. and this guy sounds more like he could nail a iron maiden cover, but all in all this isnt that bad

[slaytanic138]

I Argree, I totally get a fat IRON MAIDE vibe straight from the start.

[xXTATERNUTZZXx]

i like the cover arsis does for this song better

[JyStar]

I gotta agree with you there.

[hristian1]

me too

[MetalSpreaderVideo]

I thought this was a terrific version.

[timelleb]

crappy cover gay vox

[sunmax1]

Solos sucked ass.

[alicecoop9009]

love this cover, it rocks!!!

[psychowildchild]

Listen to the live Toronto bootleg of this track by Alice Cooper, the keyboards fit better then improvised guitar segments.

[venom36s]

Killer cover!!!!have the original EP.its quite good.

[KatsurouUminami]

Guitar seems a bit off in the intro, and throughout the song..and Vocals sound like Iron Maiden.

[psychowildchild]

Which gives the song a refreshing twist in my opinion.

[NZWolf2]

Reminds me of Iron Maiden.
