I think they should have done the vocals differently. More aggression would do good IMO.
All in all the original is far better than this cover version. This is a bit lukewarm, which is a shame, because I love Heathen.
What Maiden covers do you people like? I’m partial to Cradle of Filth’s Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Ghost's Phantom of the Opera is decent.
The energy Dream Theater brought to their cover of To Tame a Land elevated the song in my opinion.
I kinda enjoy Arch Enemy's Aces High, voiced by their first vocalist.
Powerslave by Testament
I think vocals are fine, though even lowering the key it still calls to reach high notes the singer can't reach. Can't dig the drum eq though.
Saw this in the feed last night, was thinking about how bland it is as I was listening lol. At least the solo is half decent!
I think they missed a great opportunity. Strange to record sth with so little ambition.
They've been phoning it in these past few years i think. Only really liked the instrumental from the previous album lol. Their revival album was amazing though, like 15+ years ago.
Evolution of Chaos is really great. This is what comes to my mind when I think of Heathen.
Completely agree! Can't beat No Sone Unturned, Silent Nothingness, or even Dying Season. Even though some of it was rerecorded older material hehe.
Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.
