/r/MetalCovers
Welcome to /r/MetalCovers – THE destination for fans of heavy metal music. From classic rock to pop, no song is safe from being shredded! Share your own metal covers or discover new ones from other musicians. Whether you're a musician looking for inspiration or just a metalhead looking for new tunes, you're sure to find something you love here. This subreddit is for metal covers only, please; no original content. Be sure to also check out our sister subreddit /r/Metal.
A place to revel in metal's fine tradition of covers. All genres of metal are acceptable within reason. Good vs Bad trumps True vs False, although these are often the same thing.
Submission format: cover artist - song name (original artist)[any other comments, e.g. date, genre]
Submission guidelines
Encouraged: metal artists covering metal songs, metal artists covering non-metal songs
Acceptable: non-metal artists covering metal songs (use your judgement here: Iron Horse's cover of Enter Sandman would be acceptable, Nickelback's cover of Sad But True would not)
Unacceptable: badly recorded youtubers' "covers" of songs, non-metal covers of non-metal songs, poor quality live covers (if you submit a video of a live performance, ensure it is decent quality)
Live collaborations: the number of members of the original band must be smaller than the number of members of the covering band, e.g. Diamond Head playing "Am I Evil" with James Hetfield singing is not a cover. Metallica playing it with Sean Harris singing is.
Please feel free to post your own cover of a song provided it is a recording of reasonable quality (exceptions can be made for Black Metal and similar) and provided it is more than just you playing the main riff badly filmed on your webcam.

One Take Playthrough is a new series I'm planning to do various guitar covers. The idea is to play the song in one go, with no (or minimal) post editing. The delay is automated to turn on at the lead part. Round 9's victim is my latest single "n = Folly".
