A great cover if anything of a cover this sounds really perfect, but ofc a cover can never truly better than the original. It has a better clearer sound to it you can say that.
This has a much better production value than the original, and the vocalist is doing a great job. He is not King Diamond though, sorry. The original is far better. But a very decent cover, dont think there are many who can sing like this on a regular basis :)
The only thing you can hear that this isent the original song, its because you can hear that this has been recorded this century, not back in the days when they used dinosaur bones to record music. So pagans mind nailed this cover.... It much more intens than the original.
is it just me or does this cover match the current Bass heavy track , the bass seems to over shadow the singer. It's a good cover but we gotta have lots of Bass these days right?right? ok...ok.. yeahI I cant hear his lyrics through my system lol. But King's sound great !!
not bad faithful to the original unlike most who just take it just for the name and not for the feeling, but this i felt it but then i think they tried alittle to hard to over do it. so what it comes down to is good cover but stick to the original. hail diamond
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow this is absolutely 10/10 pagans mind rocks i need to have an album of them thisis the first time i hear them
Sounds like something Cradle of Filth would come up with, but hell, anything Pagans Mind does is phenomenal and I love what they did with this. I defy anyone to top this singer, though.
This song isn't rare. It's on the 2004 version of Infinity Divine
The drummer is awesome. Listen to his feet. He's great with his bassdrums. I love everything about this band since I first saw them on tour with Fates Warning.
Fates Warning was already playing and everyone still screamed for Pagans Mind.
Actually the whole band is great. Not only for their music. We we're outside with them after a show. Talking, smoking some cigarettes etc. They're treating you like you're life long pals.
holy crap, this is really good cover.. I´m sure that king would be honored.. but as I say, king, he is fenomenal singer.. does anybody know if singer from pagans mind use some voice effect when he sings high vocals ??
Well, his falsetto works perfectly with his stories on his albums, allows him to do lines for female parts and all that. Also, he still manages to make it sounds awesome. Also, I would like to see other vocalists due the demonic lows and falsetto like he does. His range isn't necessarily wider than some, but he does so much more within that range, so why should it matter?
@PennyDreadful1 i think i would be 100 times more scared of a ..."Sinister demonic jester" than your regular run of the mill demon... wouldnt u? But i'd still have a beer with both!
So your pointing out that the band rarely plays the cover live? Wow, never would have guessed that! And if that is true that you meant its rare for them to play it live why did you post the common album version and not an actual rare live version?
So I guess you MUST have meant its rare they play it live and aren't just covering your tracks at how common this cover is.
Nils Rue does an INCREDIBLE job singing this! I'd say it may even surpass King Diamond himself! I was just stunned at this performance, Nils' voice can simply handle everything, it's insane. I'm sorry I just freaked out, but yeah!
good cover, but its not better than original.

@yuletide Why? The only difference is that the original, is the original... so I would consider the original better.
Also, King Diamond is better at his own style than these guys, and his version is faster. I'd vote King Diamond just because I'm a King Diamond fan.

Not to be rude I love King Diamond but his range is hugely overstated.
He doesnt go that much higher than other multi octave metal vocalists.
He uses alot of pure falsetto which makes his high notes shriller and thinner.

Well, his falsetto works perfectly with his stories on his albums, allows him to do lines for female parts and all that. Also, he still manages to make it sounds awesome. Also, I would like to see other vocalists due the demonic lows and falsetto like he does.

You can sound more female without using falsetto.
Yeah well he is good!
Sounds more like a creepy smiling jester than a scary demon though.
Yeah I think i got it there! The type of jester who sets up plays and does all the female voices in a ridiculous falsetto.
A sinister demonic Jester maybe.
