Candlemass - Countess Bathory

[centarproduction]

vital remains has a lot better version.

[UfxFxTx]

The voice of the singer sucks

[VideoMask93]

@UfxFxTx Are you listening to the same guy?

[ianrachmetal]

Fascinating 

[sinbysin666]

Why does Doom Metal have to be slow? Most of the classic Doom bands were pretty uptempo.

[AORCrazy]

@sinbysin666 because when those my dying bride and such bands appeared in the mid 90s everyone called that doom metal and naturally connected that, for me not, doom metal with it... doom metal is candlemass, solitude aeturnus and such not my dying bride and anathema...

[metalheadPaul93]

ummm you dumb ass this is the venom version

[OfDenimAndLeather]

which album was this on?

[godalful]

i could see them doing this song. its morbidity fits their lyrical themes, and i always saw a little venom in the riffs.

[VideoMask93]

@godalful Note: this actually isn't Candlemass, apparently. It's just Messiah singing with another band.

[godalful]

@VideoMask93 shhhhh



[VideoMask93]

@godalful Um, oops?

[Ivannnz]

vocals like ozzy osbourne

[hatchee12]

@Ivannnz no

[HumanWreckage89]

With Messiah vocals this sounds so NWOBHM.It's like evil Diamond Head.

[Digiemperor6]

reminds me of iron maiden0.0

[GingerPhilG]

@Digiemperor6 I suggest you visit your doctor to have your ears cleaned out.

[AgzDaRedz]

Lot of effort put into this video well done one picture!!

[legojunk53]

I guess I'll be the messed up person and admit I actually like this cover quite a lot. I like the original more, but this is pretty awesome too!

[MozartHexenmeister]

Com o Venom fica mais agressivo.

[MultiDean75]

and I've just found out the "cancel" option doesnt really work lol

[MultiDean75]

so funny, sounds like Saxon doing Venom ! :-)

[meofkty]

@MultiDean75 Right!

[MultiDean75]

so funny..sounds like denim and lesather era saxon :-)

[jockojonson17]

Uhh yeah, I like Candlemass but this cover is not good. Why does it sound so thin? Usually Candlemass has a deep and heavy sound. Why did they speed it up?

[FigEffect]

@jockojonson17 Because it's not candlemass. Just Messiah doing guest vocals for another band

[TheWolvesCurse]

Great Cover!

[mbm13213]

Hook 'em Horns bitches!!!!!

[CogLife]

this guy can actually sing, Venom's guy should've been in a punk band oe something

[VideoMask93]

@CogLife Or better yet, not done vocals at all.

[spiralingcrazies]

Did they really have to gay it up with those harmonies?

Otherwise love the cover - very close to the original.

[666blacktoothgrin]

there singer sounds like a pussy next to cronos........

[Bumbumawangis]

Unleashed (Sweden) also did a version of this.

[helldante100]

umm i not like this cover......

[BruderSeth]

cool cover!

[NukeTheSlut]

i am a huge venom fan...i think this cover is pretty decent;) but nothing at all against the original!

Hail Venom, Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon!!!

[savannahbaby85]

@NukeTheSlut Totally. I like Candlemass, and I like this cover, but Venom and only Venom make the song great!

[foad6ftw]

Its fucking METAL!!!!! And it kicks ass!!! so fuck all who are not into METAL!! You are trully pieces of fucking shit!!

[getalife67]

Another wantabee to venom, sucks ass!

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@getalife67 Anyone who calls Candlemass wannabes, just admits that they, themselves, are a wannabe.

[ramojanne]

power metal? Candlemass is Doom metal

[RexBlazzer099]

hahahaha a band of power metal covering a song of "black heavy metal" hahahaa

[finalday00]

@RexBlazzer099 candlelmas power metal????

jajajajajajajaj

i like candlemass but this cover is boring

[RexBlazzer099]

@finalday00 oh, i'm confuse, is Doom XD-

[Eldryzif]

No "YMMMMmmmmm" on bass at 0:49? Damn, I started to think it is as good as Venom.

[joehohenester]

not heavy, not black, not metal, no bass , no power - what a sacrilege to one of the best venom tracks ever

[Amityrockstarx]

@joehohenester Nowhere in the title of this song do I see any claim to be any of those things except a Venom track cover. You're saying you expect every cover of a song to be a carbon copy of the genre, "heaviness", level of bass, and the power people feel from it. Am I getting this right? I'll agree it isn't the greatest song instrumentally, but you'd really just dismiss Messiah Marcolin's vocals? The man is a beast, and could lift the presence of any mediocre song.

[guitarismysword1]

i like venom version more because its more groovy

[ub3r2008]

I've never heard Candlemass play this fast before. Candlemass and Venom are awesome.

[DavidDavidsonful]

@ub3r2008 check out Into the Unfathomed Tower from the album tales of creation.

[lks0307]

This is Marcolin with Abaddon and John Connelly of Nuclear Assault. NOT Candlemass.

[magnificent666]

Candlemass speeding up a song?

Color me shocked!

Great version, BTW.

[occams99]

@magnificent666 This isn't Candlemass at any point in their evolution, particularly with Messiah Marcolin.

[DerrEinzige]

@occams99

Who is this then? I've always been under the impression it was them covering it.

[occams99]

@DerrEinzige I stand corrected. I was going by ear. At no point in the band's history of working with Marcolin did their production and songwriting sound like this. They tended to write songs around his vocal style when he was in the band. The albums with him on it have a unique quality that is not on other incarnations of the band. This is Candlemass- Marcolin was a guest on it along with Tony Bray from Venom. It was on a bootleg issue called Sjunger Sigge Furst. No supper for my ears tonight.

[DerrEinzige]

@occams99

Haha you sure know a chock full of information.

Thanks for the reply.

[deustaitan]

is this guy related to steve grimmett?

[SiRebellion101]

holy shit candlemass is...orgasm

[tomfrankly]

messiah rules

[Pwndlol]

This guy looks like a fat version of Dio

[LordNazgulKing]

They turned a heavy thrash metal song into power metal. I don't like it.

[oblivionspawn07]

@LordNazgulKing Power metal? lol

[Kazil6598]

It's like an E10+ Rated Countess Bathory trolololololol

[peterk5699]

Sorry, but this is terrible!

[OnlyCovers666]

i cum when i hear this song

[psycho2cool]

Wow! This sucks! Lol. My band does this song better and we don't have a bassist. Or a drummer with a years experience. But he's got natural talent. Not as bad as the Dimmu Borgir cover of Black Metal. At least these guys played the song half-way correctly. Not to mention that DB's singers Norwegian accent fucks most their 'American' songs up.

[d53njac]

@psycho2cool have respect to artists, asshole

[psycho2cool]

@d53njac I respect Venom. Maybe so much so that I don't see any good done to classic songs. But there is none!!!!!

[remme435]

@psycho2cool yu have to be the biggest tool ever

[psycho2cool]

@remme435 Well thank you. MY girl and i are quite proud of my tool.

[KryptoBlade]

@psycho2cool A cover isn't about playing it correctly man, it's about playing it how you want to, so as long as they have the same lyrics and beat, they're doing it right.

[KostasNast666]

the original is better.....

[metalbassjensen808]

i love this version, as well as original=) messiahs voice is kool especially wen he says bathory hah

[jesencz]

nikdy mi moc nesedli, prapodivná kapela

[jevation]

This is the pop version of Venom's song.. hee hee, still wicked tho.

[AtheistFarmer]

this vocalist is a nerd, look at his clothes, his play rpg.

[gruulam]

@AtheistFarmer troll of the troll lands

[Umlatta]

covering this song is kind of a inherent no-win scenario. You simply can't do it better than Venom, so no matter how well you do you are always gonna fall short. You can't top the immortal Cronos. Nice effort though. I'm sure they had fun doing it.

[hubybub]

doesnt this sound alot like the song holiday by green day in the beggining

[TheEmperorofthevoid]

god I despise "messiah" marcolin...LOVE Candlemass, but his voice just drives me up the wall

[masterdierk]

If this cover was a person, it would be a gay black guy.

[AlbertMondback]

I dunno. It doesn't sound live, but it doesn't sound that polished. Demo?

[BlackKromun]

Doom / Heavy metal band from barzil :  watch?v=-Rv2hpUi3kU

[haveswordwilltravel]

Holy crap! Candlemass doing a Venom tune.... Awesome.

[observator71]

....total disco shit....

[xseb5x]

Holy crap, they are Swedish. So many Swedish metal bands

[nightwhatchman]

@xseb5x Swedes are simply the best out there. Plain and simple. When it comes to metal they simply rape the world, except Poland. -An American

[xseb5x]

@nightwhatchman Germany + England also

[edgar867]

@cougerlvr pfff meatloaf is nothing compared to messiah.

[oldluvr]

@edgar867

true!

[whywatchthistv]

i prefer this to the original but the original is fucking awesome too!

[Kuzlarija]

damn nigga, its not a bad cover but original is legendary compared to this

[ecce138]

Better than original version!

[Crymouth]

let me just say that I actually do love Candlemass BUT this is a disgrace to Venom as they are about evil fucking chaos with no beauty and the trying add melody is trying to add beauty....shame on you Messiah shame on you

[DemonlitionVoid]

so u guys are saying by the way they sing, they cant cover venom

[adamvmax]

bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[MALICEMETALICIOUS]

What the hell r u talkin about... venoms sounds eviler and this suxx >=[... i Agree with @yutakai0

[Grotlord]

I think Candlemass' style fits this song really well. I don't know if I prefer this over the original, but then again, hardly anyone can beat Venom at their own game.

[yutakai0]

how could they do the miracle of turning one of venom's dark songs into this happy, disney thing?

[metalflyingpig]

@yutakai0 lol!

[x6x6x6BuLLeTx6x6x6]

This sounds like a party song. Venom is much better <.<

[skimbap]

Candlemass has their own epic sound, but his voice doesn't go with venom

[swordfishjon]

Jack black? just kiddin.. Venom original!

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

I would call this "Countess Harmony"

[TheLuotutin]

@BARRIEMOREBARLOW sounds really shallow....

[Mastafly7]

it may sound different but i still enjoy it :)

[zulshyn]

excelent cover?

this cover sucks, even if candlemass rules

[MAGGOTSOlDIER626]

not as evil as expected

[IDOMENEA1963]

TOO FAST FOR YOU ...NICE TRY ANYWAY...

[sliverd]

This is crap compared to the original

[DoomKitty]

"animus magnanimus"

[Katerli1]

he has no balls;-)

[golfarinos]

Didn't like it very much, I prefer Necrodeath's cover (and original version, of course)

[hodur77]

good

[anhellsoto]

In my opinion CANDLEMASS vocalist,together

with Kai Hanseen from HELLOWEEN

J.D. Kimball (r.i.p.) from OMEN and King Diamond are the rulers of the mellow metal vocals...

[Mality]

I wouldn't necessarily call the vocals "mellow"...just not growling/roaring. Also, J.D. Kimball was an AWESOME singer!!!

[anhellsoto]

Nice vocals... Candlemass/Nemessis

i like em as much as nasty savage and

King Diamond AH! AND THE NEVER TO FORGET vocals of JD.Kimbal from

OMEN. (r.i.p... )Together with Kai Hansen on Helloween,they are a bunch of talented singers

[lemmycro]

What a Dio wannabe

[Solfire69]

@lemmycro .... These dudes have influenced as many bands as Dio, both great, though I'll give it to Dio for being most recognised ^^

[lemmycro]

@Solfire69 I was talking how this guy at the picture has the smae clothes and that horned hand as dio

[stargazer555]

@lemmycro : No, I actually think his clothes are a couple sizes bigger than Dio's.. hehe.

Hey and you might be surprised how many people use that "horned hand"..

It doesn't make anyone a "Dio-wannabe" though.

And I'm not that much of a doom-metal lover, but you've gotta hand it to them.. Candlemass have some of the most awesome doomriffs out there, IMO..

[CamiloDeathrash]

Venom cover :O

HAIL MESSIAH

Satana Nostra Prontem,Salve satanas

[66kevincito]

(N)

[BonesVikernes]

epic original song and Candlemasse's cover.

[afoolisharrangement]

love candlemass with all my heart, but this cover sucks ass...

[JTOwens89]

All hail the great and powerful Messiah!!!

[godalful]

Candlemass, Lords Of the Epic Doom!!!every one of their songs is a haunting story with the merest hint of hope

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@godalful

ok, but this is a cover of a Venom song

[godalful]

@MetalHeadFilipeG96 Shocking as it seems sir, i did catch that. i was referring to candlemass, who is singing the venom song. Venom is also excellent, however. I have Black Metal, the album this song was taken from.

[Kuzlarija]

whoa. turning venoms great song into this shit should be a crime

[coxonroxon]

your retarded

[evilresidence4]

dont diss candlemass...

[Lost666Wisdom]

shit, venom's the best,

[KohuGaly]

this is like if beatles play dimmu borgir

[Luih1]

@KohuGaly hahahahaha

[igih9]

this shit sucks

[BudRon65]

Wow! This is an awful cover of a classic Venom tune. Can I hear some Voivod now??

[yorksl]

I love how half of shitty metal vids on youtube have comments sections that are half devoted to arguing over what type of metal it is

[JTOwens89]

haha!, ya I noticed that too. It's fuckin' annoying as hell....honestly, who gives a shit what sub-genre it's classified in?!

[BrandMan211]

@yorksl but dis is obv. Bitch Metal nd ANY1 WHU THINKS OHTERWISE IS WRONG!!!11!1!1!!11!

[MrShayneOneill]

@yorksl Yeah its pretty boring thing to talk about. Its almost as bad a stupid punks arguing over whether punk is dead , 20 years after it stopped being a meaningful question.

[VoodooFlintstone]

@yorksl because everyone is kvlt and underground and MUST force their metal knowledge on others (fags)

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@yorksl Yes, but this isn't a shitty metal video, so why bring it up here? Go to a Pantera video if you want shitty metal.

[antonis2211]

@ThazuaBlackarrow I just didn't see that...No no no...Definitely this comment doesn't exist

[Henrym3tal]

@ThazuaBlackarrow HAHAHA! That is such a good comment. Go to a pantera vid for a shit vid. Fucking A

[batonrougevoodoo]

Yea, Venom is better..There is no gutteral voice there,trying to sound to clean.

[MarcinSauron]

I thik Candlemass is better than Venom, but Venom's version of this song is the best.

[DMASeatiger]

This totally lacks in sense.

[bl4ckmuso]

@godsofvenom you're a FAGGOTH

VENOM ISN'T BLACK METAL AT ALL

THEY ARE THRASH AND SPEED/THRASH

and Candlemass is a great doom metal band

[dgibbz41]

venom is nwobhm, black metal, and speed metal. not at all thrash. I dont agree with godsofvenoms comment either though

[ded666777]

they kind of invented the term black metal, didn't they?

[bl4ckmuso]

@ded666777 they invented only the name of the genre...i think that the real inventors of black metal musically are Bathory

[Dimholt123]

@bl4ckmuso indeed, even if chronos persist about his music being black metal, and all scandinavian bands who are called black metal, doesn't have anything to do with it, i'd say that black metal comes from bathory and early 90's band. mayhem took it to a higher level.

[maulhoik]

@Dimholt123 but it all began with Venom. They were the prototype. They made it all possible. I have no problem calling them black metal. But Bathory could be credited with spuring the genre and molding the fundamentals of modern black metal.

[Daenoxiis]

Agreed

[gertiification]

@bl4ckmuso I think the same , Bathory and Hellhamer. Venom "invented " Black metal name , style and maybe some lyrics stuff. But they were kinda thrash with black metal stuff.

[Gagakiller]

@bl4ckmuso no, i think venom invented black metal..

[riversings]

Uh, Cronos is the best vocalist suited for this song. I love Candlemass but seriously...but Messiah just doesn't have that "I'm about to lose my voice any second now" edge to his voice.

[evilresidence4]

this is fucking awesome

[Flechero088]

no me gusta la voz de niñita del conxaetumare ese-....

muxo mejor la voz reculia de cronos wn...

[Zodist]

Dont get me wrong,I like Candlemass but this Venom cover really shit.What were they thinking?Doom and Gloom.

[OphidianLord]

not a bad cover

[Flechero088]

como el pico el cover culiao

[Conradlantfan666]

ahahahah candlemass..... so copy...

i hate it!!! VENOM FOR EVER

[Buttcrack2012]

@Conradlantfan666 dude candlemass rocks.

[KirHARESETHgoesto11]

I had no idea that Messiah was in Memento Mori!!!! Where have I been all this time?

[countessbenno]

quite good cover, but far from venoms version..... doesent sound so evil....
