I’LL BET YOU’VE NEVER HEARD PANTERA LIKE THIS BEFORE

230

A hearty golf-clap is in order for the Swedish group Hellsongs, responsible for the above indie/soft rock cover of Pantera’s “Walk” as posted on Metal Insider. I love this; a lot of effort clearly went into the arrangement, and the song is practically musically indistinguishable unrecognizable from the original. This is a cover done right, a completely new take on a classic instead of just a plain ol’ cover version that the band wearing backwards hats at the local bar plays at their weekly Saturday night gig.

The female fronted trio specializes in poppy, soft covers of metal classics, and they’ve already released two EPs and two full length albums since forming in 2004. Listen to more tunes here. The “Youth Gone Wild” cover is total aces!
