Unto Ashes - Don't fear the reaper.

[Sinnical]

beautiful song. i wish i could be like the seasons, the wind, the sun, and the rain

[Ninja1963]

death is a natural part of life... have always loved this track when thought of this way. Celebrate!

[reptilianism420]

makes me feel so close to death, and not in a negative way

[UWLurker]

omfg i have came here thnx to Mass Effect xO ,, awesome song !!!

[SkylarkStudios]

They wrote new music for it.... Gay..... They made it worse... The original already had perfect melodies... This is so melodramatic.

[Desdenova262]

@SkylarkStudios This was a remake. A different verson. They paid tribute to Blue Oyster Cult.

Thats all i have to know. One of their best songs being honored!!!!

Long live BOC!!!!!!!

[Jessica151294]

I just searched and listened to all of the covers of this song and this one is doubtless the best!! Such harmony and darkness at the same time...!

[rktnh]

Gus Black has done a better version. It's from the Scream Soundtrack.

[Desdenova262]

Beautiful cover. Thanks for posting this.

[goth69goth]

the most depressive version of this song...

awesome...))

[Loreleischant]

This is the second cover I know of Blue Oyster Cult :)

[whateley23]

@Loreleischant You should look up Current 93's cover of "This Ain't The Summer Of Love".

[dentisto769]

fucked up cover...

[Noirceur66]

I adore this cover - very beautiful and tranquil! better than the original if I do say so myself!

[omyZEUS1]

GREAT..SUPER..BRAVO..NICE VOICE !!!!!

LONG LIVE BOC !!! FANS IN GREECE !!!!

LOVE THIS COVER !!! VERY ATMOSPHERIC !!!

[tremmortrevor]

This sounds like something out of Silent Hill.

[Shifuede]

One of the better covers out there (i like it!)...still not the original though...

[BrutalxxxUnicorn]

Wow... I remember this being on that Gothika comp I'd picked up at Hot Topic several years ago. Best track on the cd I believe.

[romeoblackheart1989]

this is a good cover i like this cover and hims cover but BOC is still the best

[joshcop69]

Lame and predictable.

Slowing it down and breaking the lyrics in bite-sized pieces don't make a song any better, nor your own.

This reminds me of a pointless christmas song one would hear in a doctor's office waiting room.

[RoseCrossVato]

@joshcop69 I can see why some people wouldn't appreciate this version, especially if someone had an attachment to the original. My take is that the Unto Ashes reinterpretation is excellent, because it has a much different emotional undercurrent than the BOC original. Also, it is groundbreaking because it is the first neofolk song to obtain any degree of popularity or recognition; this is no small milestone. But music is largely subjective, so I can respect your views.

[Cronos844]

wheres the cowbell?

good song though

[Heartofthetune]

Beautiful

[parisvioletha]

this version is awesome

[jas22]

this was in "Scream". it was incredible as the background music to that certain scene. there are a lot of covers, but honestly, besides the original, this is the best. remember, its about sadness and what one may find as the ultimate solution - the finality of suicide. the other covers dont capture this notion. THIS one does. (this is all subjective and IMO, of course). beautiful rendition (though i see how some may find it a little 'slow'. you have to succumb to the mood).

[Fuzunga]

@jas22 Actually, I'm pretty sure the version in Scream was by Gus.

[jas22]

i guess it had been a while since i had seen one of my favorite moview, fuzunga. i guess i just assumed it had to be this version. idiot me. thanks for telling me. GUs' version is likewise creepy and morose, like this one (OK in my book! )

[BrutalxxxUnicorn]

Sure you're not referring to Gus' version?

[jas22]

@BrutalxxxUnicorn well, my original comment - i was referring to THIS, and not Gus'.

[hyearmo]

also the live cover of this by unto ashes is a stunning rendition too.

[befuddledman]

The only way to cover a classic, iconic song is to try to take it to a totally new place, and Unto Ashes succeeds spectacularly here. Utterly wonderful.

[saikyoryu]

@befuddledman: I agree, it's an excellent cover, but it needed more cowbell :) !!!

[lespaulplayer06]

meh... too slow and boring.

[SugarMagnolia20]

0:40... epic picture

[bgbdVa87]

LOVE this version!!...its beautiful!!!!!!!!! great vocals,great emotion......

[synthpeej]

Excellent song

[kalevala1317]

the song is soooo beautiful and the images totally ROCK!!! the image of 0:44 is awesome where did you get it???

[sahneknuffi]

The Images are generally courtesy of deviantart. Just look around there for "reaper" and you should find it.

[SugarMagnolia20]

I've been looking for it just now, too. I want it as my desktop bg

[kalevala1317]

this song kicks ass in ALL versions!!!! i

[Dvendred]

they pwned this one they really did

[MysticConspiracy]

Unto Ashes completely fucking WRECKED the song in this cover, FUCKING SHIT it sucks!!

[Zoth77]

you're insane

[oceanspirit]

This is the best cover of the song i have heard.

[outlawfairie]

HIM cover is the best

[Zoth77]

Seriously, I like HIM, but their cover of this song is not good, let alone the best.

[Orctesttactic]

yeah the voice is beautiful but doesn't really fit to this song....

[zoby123]

...That and the tempo of the song is completely destroyed. Good voice, bad cover.

[hazydelirium]

I don't believe the idea was to replicate the song, but rather, reinterpret it. So, in that sense, it is excellent.

[Dunielu]

horrible? I don't think so. She's got a very beautiful voice. Nice, peaceful song.

[032125]

horrible.
