It was announced yesterday that the lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan was found dead aged just 46.

A classic song from the legend that is Pantera in “A New Level”. Many bands have done it, Throwdown most notibly did it for a couple of tours, including in a tent at Download Festival! Todays contenders are Five Finger Death Punch, who covered it for Metal Hammer’s Dimebag Tribute album (Throwndown lucked out, however
Two more different covers of the same song you probably won’t find – now I’ve said that, you probably will. Scottish Alt. Rockers Aerogramme put there own spin on “Disciple” by Slayer by taking us into an industrial bare-bones soundscape soaked in atmosphere. London Metalcore crew Counting Days on the other hand take the balls
Seeing as it’s all hallows eve… “Surprise! You’re Dead” by Faith No More covered by two of the more brutal bands around, Revocation and All Shall Perish! Hernan “Eddie” Hermida (now of Suicide Silence) vocals suit this one down to the ground!
In true Punk Goes Pop style, this weeks entry is a Beyonce Cover with Oceans Ate Alaska‘s version being Punk Goes Pop 6 from 2016, whereas Palisades version was released as a standalone single in 2014.

The song itself is one that
This weeks song is widely considered a classic among Metal fans and for me is up there with the other “big four” classics as an all time piece of perfection by probably the most underrated of the big four bands – “Symphony Of Destruction” by Megadeth. This weeks competing bands are Russian bruisers God Syndrome and Swedish
For shits and giggles…! Today’s song is “Them Bones” by Alice In Chains. Here’s It Dies Today‘s version in full Metalcore glory, from the “Lividity” Sessions, the only album to feature ex-Still Remains bassist Jason Wood on vocals. And here’s Suicide Silence‘s Deathcore version, from 2009’s “No Time To Bleed”. RIP Mitch Lucker.
