Amon Amarth-Children of the Grave Black Sabbath Cover.wmv

[WakeUpDead01]

ok so i i just listened this from begining to the end, and my opinion : its really hard to enjoy this as much as hearing the original one. I would even say that is kind of boring cover, i dont feel that kick, this energy which original has + this totally non emocional vocals

[zonker400]

@WakeUpDead01 You want emo out of a death metal vocalist? Good lord...

[DrgnLord92]

I was so glad I stumbled across this Sabbath cover album when I was in the newsagency one day; there's so many great covers on it. Besides this one, my other two favourites would be Turisas' cover of 'Supernaut' and Cavalera Conspiracies 'Electric Funeral.' Fucking awesome \m/

[dani222fuklqo]

completely ruined the song with the growling :(

[itssimpleidgaf]

i know this isnt from there knew album but just comment for the new album AMON AMARTH uv outdone yourself

[KoenSmit91]

first amon amarth song ever where i hear the lyrics, maybe because i've listenened the original too much :P

[itssimpleidgaf]

@KoenSmit91 well if u were a true A.A fan u would know most lyrics to there songs if u listened to them enough

[KoenSmit91]

@itssimpleidgaf i think so too, my brother listens to it a lot, so that's where I hear it :P Not a fan, though this is a good cover

[MrDerp24]

@KoenSmit91 The lyrics aren't hard to understand anyway...

[MrNikodemu5]

@metallicaman31130 it seems like this cover comes from a tribute cd for black sabbath or something... nevermind, i converted it, as daviddevildriver suggested me XD

[Actueel68]

Do you have the Balls to the Wall cover!?

[DavidDevildriver]

@Actueel68 i do mate but i havent it uploaded dyou want the mp3 of it?

[Actueel68]

@DavidDevildriver

If you would share, that would be awesome! I've been looking for it a long time now. Can't even find it on iTunes. Message me the link if it's not too much trouble.Thanks again!

[strahinje]

amon amarth to do a cover of black sabbath. lol? Black sabbath can suck dick. faggets

[Ilanney]

@strahinje whaaaat? lol please dude, tell me that was a joke...lol it was a joke wasnt it?

[strahinje]

@Ilanney sure

[orgulloazteca100]

@strahinje Shut up and kiss my fucking ass!, Black Sabbath is the father of all!!!

[Actueel68]

@strahinje

Without Black Sabbath this music wouldn't exist.

[Actueel68]

Can someone post the fucking Balls to the Wall cover!

[Morik521]

lol did an awesome job of making a black sabbath song sound exactly like them

[metallicakixtotalass]

Eh... ok idea, but really doesn't fit them at all

[shitforbrains121]

@CorruptZDI Thanks, and yeah man, you speak the truth there, respect where it's due, those two covers were actually pretty good, especially Faith No More's. But just for me, I hate a lot Sabbath covers and Black Sabbath is a particular band no-one can top in a cover. Just my opinion. Actually speaking of respect where it's due, listen to Ugly Kid Joe's version of sweet leaf, admititally, probably the best Sabbath cover i've heard.

[TheGuiPB]

Amon Amarth covered black sabbath?Fuck yea \m\

[MrNikodemu5]

@metallicaman31130 i meant this cover XD i already have the original version from BS

[Martyfriedman001]

bad vocals.

[DeathRunningTerror]

I love the guitar sound, but the vocals just dont fit this one

[MrMetalbeast123]

Now I want to cover this song. Id keep the kick ass fuckin guitar but I don't like it with this singing style. Not for a sabbath song:)

[metallica3678]

black sabath did the best but this isnt as good as white zombies but it still kicks fucking ass

[MrNikodemu5]

in which album can i find this song?

[DavidDevildriver]

@MrNikodemu5 If U meant which of Amon Amarths official albums then none. It is only available with Metal Hammers free cd as a Tribute to Black Sabbath. Sorry If it is unavailable to you :/

[MrNikodemu5]

@DavidDevildriver oh, ok

i'll find the way to get it, anyway :P thanks!

[DavidDevildriver]

@MrNikodemu5 Well I put up the mp3 before and linked ppl who wanted it but they deleted my link to it... Id say just use a video to mp3 converter on my vid here to get it :)

[ryanexsus]

I like White Zombie's cover.

[trampledone]

if it wasnt for black sabbath, none of these great death metal bands would exist, so i say tribute away. its paying homage to there creator.

[666DRDEATH666]

\m/ bad azz version \m/

[CryptsOfEternity94]

I love Amon Amarth's version of this song. It's so good! I don't see why someone couldn't like it. Vikings playing one of the heaviest Black Sabbath songs ever written? I say hell yes to that!

[619chrismc]

awesome

[mashui99]

I don't get while people are complaining, of course they covered Black Sabbath Any metal band formed after 1980 has probably been influenced by them.

[DavidDevildriver]

@mashui99 People tend to write before they think out of anger, frustration or simply looking for attention or an arguement ya know ?

[DylanMan6]

@mashui99 after 1980? any band after 1968 has been influenced by the almighty sabbath

[mashui99]

@DylanMan6 Not all of them, Lemmy says Motorhead wasn't influenced by any metal band whatsoever.

[hunglikeahorse120]

People quit bitching because Amon Amarth covered a Black Sabbath song. Every Band alive has probably covered a Black Sabbath song. Hell Megadeth did a cover of Paranoid, Metallica did a cover of Sabbra Cadabbra. People are gonna do covers so just dont bitch about it. Its annoying as hell.

[DavidDevildriver]

@hunglikeahorse120 thank u so much for that delightful comment. Well im sorry to say my friend there are a lot of "hardcore" fans out there and they do not wish any other band to do a cover of any of their inspirations. Its gud to see some ppl like urself who hate the bitching ppl do about it :P

[BaronLucianGrimblade]

All due respect to Amons but do not spit on the Sabbaths,a minus to me...

[shotsOFFtheCROSSBAR]

fuckin brutal. i love this and balls to the wall!

[zilla249]

FUCK YEAH!!!

[Mustakrakiish]

when did they make this?

[Helgard17]

I think I died and went to Valhalla...

[acdcman96fin]

Bad cover!

[DavidDevildriver]

@acdcman96fin do a better one my friend :)

[MrNikodemu5]

@acdcman96fin actually, GREAT COVER

[sinbysin666]

Rubbish. I like the Nathan Explosion vocals, when used right. But not for this song.

[omiejay]

haha i just noticed Johan is wearing a Bloodbath tshirt! Awesome!

[kingkarre]

Entirely too metal to be true.

[Moukeaf]

The instrumental is quiet good. Pretty heavy.

The voice.... I don't like it. No way.

[shitforbrains121]

it was quite good up until 1:09 for me. wen his singing started i just sighed.

i can see how this version is good for amon amarth fans, and that's cool but i just dont like the singing too much. in my opinion no-one should release a sabbath cover on an album, because it will never be as good as the original, no matter how much they make it their own.

[DavidDevildriver]

@shitforbrains121 well its not on any of there actual albums its just a compilation cd with various artists doing cover songs so I think its good to hear other artists perform songs that are well known, unless ur a diehard fan of said band and dont want to hear any other versions :P

[shitforbrains121]

@DavidDevildriver oh right, fair enough then, i thought it was an album. and yeah its good they put the effort in, but black sabbath is hard band to cover and make it kind of your own sound, and still sound good, i think.

[metaldad2112]

@shitforbrains121 I WOULD 50 % OF THE TIME AGREE WITH YOUR STATE OF THINKING & IN FACT THIS IS & OR I IMAGINE NOT INTENDED TO BE THE IMPROVED UPON VERSION BUT A TWIST IN THE RIGHT OF AMON AMARTH & DONE WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL & WITH THAT IT MIND I RESPECT THEM FOR THEIR INTERPERATED TWIST . I AGREE NOT MY BAG FOR VOCALS . COULD IMAGINE THEM AS GREAT FOR VENOM TRIBUTE . BUT NOW LISTEN TO TYPE O VERSION OF BLACK SABBATH & BETTER (YES A SACRALIGE) THAN ORIGINAL ? > T C KARDOS / METALDAD2112

[Butch3rPete]

@shitforbrains121 The point of covering a song isn't to make it better than the original. Making it your own and paying respect to the original artist is the point. Covering a song is basically like saying "You've inspired me."

[shitforbrains121]

@Butch3rPete yes i understand that, but in my opinion if you want to pay respect to it, at least make it good, change it all you want, but theres no point in paying respect if you make a mockery of it. on that note, i just think sabbath are not really a band that are covered well in general, ugly kid joe did a nice version of sweet leaf but thats the only cover i actually liked

[Butch3rPete]

@shitforbrains121 It's someone's opinion if a cover is good or not. If you think it's a mockery that's your opinion.

[shitforbrains121]

@Butch3rPete i'll agree with you on that. and in my opinion this song should have been left alone

[CorruptZDI]

@shitforbrains121 You have a good point there. Though this doesn't quite cut it for me, have you heard White Zombies 'Children of the Grave', or Faith No More's 'War Pigs'? They are both damn good covers, respect where it's due!

[metallicakixtotalass]

@shitforbrains121 I disagree - listen to Faith No More's cover of War Pigs.

[A5TROZOMBIE]

@shitforbrains121 Isn't that true of all covers though? It's incredibly rare to find a cover that is actually better than the original (which is a matter of opinion anyway) but that's not what they set out to do when a band makes a cover. The point of a cover is to pay homage to a band that has influenced you and to put your own style/spin on it. I personally love this cover, but I can understand why some people don't.

[ajpeal]

this is quality

[snooginsish]

Thanks for uploading this shit man i think its sick as hell

[DavidDevildriver]

@snooginsish no problem man I must upload the entire cover album

[Metalisjustbetter]

@DavidDevildriver did you get this of the Metalhammer Sabbath tribute? (thats where I did anyway)

[DavidDevildriver]

I wont have negative comments or Trolls on my page if u like this then leave a comment if not dont its simple we dont need attention whores looking to annoy Amon Amarth fans

[grungerobotnow]

they covered the white zombie cover of the black sabbath song. you can tell cause the beginning. also, this band is poopshit.

[JaegerMeisterDemon]

@grungerobotnow ha get a life Amon Amarth fucking rock and Johan Hegg is a fucking VIKING ANIMAL so your argument is invalid

[F1eldHonor]

Johan Hegg ftw

[badboyfabregas]

omfg!!!!! i was thinking of how awesome it would be if there was a heavier version of this sing a minute ago...then i searched for covers....THIS MADE MY FUCKING LIFE!

[DavidDevildriver]

@badboyfabregas glad to know it mate

[JIMTEO1992]

fucking awesome but shitty vocals.

[6ftandbeyond]

@JIMTEO1992 hahahahaha

[mattharrison911]

@JIMTEO1992 let me help u "fucking awesome AND SUPER BADASS vocals" ok your good

[JIMTEO1992]

shitty vocals

[themistoklas]

white zombie cover is way better!

[MWFrontier]

I dig it, nicely done. CHeers!

[DavidDevildriver]

@MWFrontier thnx m8

[EnigmaticOranmentV6]

Very viking like :3

[grimshake]

I just creamed my pants!!

[chrishynes01]

Johaan wearing a Bloodbath shirt, thats fuckin sick.

[metalmaster29]

This is freaking epic! When did this album come out and what is it called?

[Bodomterror696969]

this is fucking terrible

[poketfulashelz]

I really wish I could have bought the Metal Hammer issue with the Black Sabbath covers but living in Canada means it's a mad rush to the book store to see if they still have any copies and half the time they don't even get any.

[Bodomterror696969]

@poketfulashelz thats why cannada sucks

[poketfulashelz]

@Bodomterror696969 Whatever at least our country isn't getting overrun with foreigners.

[Bodomterror696969]

@poketfulashelz the only good thing to come out of your country is rush

[poketfulashelz]

@Bodomterror696969 Try listening to Baptized in Blood. They just started out but they're pretty heavy and talented.

[Bodomterror696969]

@poketfulashelz i hope there better then this.  i do like the guitar and drumming though

[poketfulashelz]

@Bodomterror696969 You're right though there aren't a lot of great Canadian metal bands especially with all the new metalcore and death bands coming out from the US and UK. 3 Inches of Blood is pretty much the only other one I listen to and sometimes Annihilator.

[Bodomterror696969]

@poketfulashelz there good, amon amarth is actually good too this is just an awful cover. its a good thing you posted back 2 months later!

[poketfulashelz]

@Bodomterror696969 Haha yeah I personally don't think Amon Amarth should be covering this song. Their new album is sick though especially Destroyer of the Universe.

[bloodovsothis]

@Bodomterror696969 Dude, fucking Gorguts. Any self respecting metalhead loves Gorguts.

[Bodomterror696969]

@bloodovsothis there was one other band that was good but other then that fuck cannada except rush

[bloodovsothis]

@Bodomterror696969 Ok, let's try this again.

Dude, fucking Razor. Any self respecting metalhead loves Razor.

[Bodomterror696969]

@bloodovsothis i love amon amarth but this blowsssss. like cannada

[Murder4Survival]

This is too good for this world... we don't deserve it...

[Actueel68]

Fuck yes, Children of the Vikings!

[akgj]

Dont you just love when great bands cover other great bands

[north2087]

un medio tributo , amon amarth una gran banda nada que decir de ella

[1lu2ma3ca]

God created Swedish to play Melodeath

[CannibaLouiST]

The mood, the lyrics...... fit the band!!!!!!!!

[PvtRichardCranium]

@CannibaLouiST The lyrics are about children protesting against the Nuclear war and other prospects of peace and love. That really isn't Amon Amarth.

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

and for the people who really want this cover album, it isn't that good, alot where really horrible covers, just a few good covers like this one

[WarpigHR]

fuck yeah...i love amon amarth...is there anything better than amon amarth covering balck sabbath? i don't think so.... \m/

[SvenJunior]

holy shit! This is damn awesome. Great cover by the best metal band in my opinion

[Zaothus]

This is just fucking awesome. I don't even have anything witty to say here, it's AMON AMARTH covering BLACK FUCKING SABBATH. The concept is just GOOD.

[DavidDevildriver]

@Zaothus thanks for that mate if ud like the entire cover album its a black sabbath cover album il send u the link 2 were i uploaded it :)

[SvenJunior]

@DavidDevildriver can you send me the link,Iam very interested in this cover album

[asuschrist]

@DavidDevildriver I'd like to have that album since im big sabb fan and i colect all shit i can find about them :)

[Anjohl]

WOW, they included some of the timpale beats from the original!

[chestbeard]

Bought the back issue.  hooray.

[DavidDevildriver]

@chestbeard sweet 

[gorrill63]

wheres cookie monsters picture?

[AbsoluteDemon]

It's hilarious how they've abandoned all pretense of playing a Black Sabbath song by the fourth minute.

[Forkhead21]

2 people will become children in the grave!

[blindfatkid23]

@Forkhead21 Why do you people care so much when someone dislikes what you like? Don't get me wrong I think this is a great cover, but when you imply that whoever clicks the dislike button on a video you like are dicks or what ever you're no better than MTV telling kids what's cool and what's not.

[Forkhead21]

@blindfatkid23 ahh dude comeon! its just for fun :P i dont rly give a shit who dosnt like it.....im just saying it for fun....and it is a super awsome song indeed :D

[metalmongar]

Looking for that damned Metal Hammer issue everywhere the past 2 weeks. Not finding, now there's a new one on the shelves. I really needed this song =(.

[DavidDevildriver]

@chestbeard cant you simply order it online mate? or if u want the song id post i up nd link it to you along wit the rest the tribute album you get on the cd

[chestbeard]

@DavidDevildriver Not sure. I sent an email asking if back issues come with all the goodies, or if it's just the magazine. I didn't get a reply yet.

[EverxOpeningxFlower]

@chestbeard I live in the Netherlands, and I was for one week in the UK and that was the only issue i found from Metal Hammer, I am suprised someone can't find that one

[DavidDevildriver]

@MinistryOfProng ya its a good cover alright man, thanks for the commnt
