I'm putting together a little music quiz and part of it is guessing pop/rock/mainstream songs covered by extreme metal bands. I've only got a couple so far and I'm hoping you can suggest some more. It cannot be clean vocals since that makes it too easy. I'm looking for cookie monster/growl vocals.

Thanks in advance!

  • Ten Masked Men - Cry Me a River (and every other cover song they do)
  • In Flames - Everything Counts

You mean you haven't heard 1 Direction cover The Project Hate?

Kinda relevant:

Not exactly mainstream
Not exactly extreme either =P But it's interesting nonetheless

That made my day, though I thought Orgasmatron was a character in GWAR. Anyway, Pat Boone has a metal/hard rock cover album, but unfortuanately there is no extreme metal.

Nah, Katy Perry did that one.

Oh yeah. I think Justin Bieber also covered something off of The Dillinger Escape Plan's first album.

Well, if it helps, Bloody Vomit Bukakke covered Cradle Of Filth. And they are a breakcore band =P

Heh, hardcore techno bands have even more disgusting names then extreme metal bands. Anyway, nice, though I wouldn't call this mainstream, pretty sure Cradle of Filth is more mainstream than any breakcore act.
