Metallica - Creeping Death (black metal version)

[@CiteWhyclosa]

Unreal! We need a “Blackest Album” with a bunch of black metal Metallica covers.

[@rodrigotrauco2402]

The Blackened Album

[@geraintwd]

At least one of them should be done by Witchery.

[@wolverine669]

And a funeral doom version of "Sad But True"

[@colinmackenzie6277]

🙏 TESTIFY!!!

[@augmentedhat16]

@@wolverine669that’ll be so awesome 🤩

[@Mp57navy]

If Metallica had a drummer it would sound like that.

[@bathory5026]

You say that as if it sounds better than Metallica's version

[@Ebees_Map]

It is better lol ​@@bathory5026

[@st8111]

The black metal aspects you spoiled in feel very coherent, the song is still there, but it's also something different. If you didn't know the original, you might think it's been written this way. Great interpretation!

[@artie52]

Great description of what I heard in this video

[@pepefrog-w7j]

This is from an alternate universe where Lars' parents didn't leave Denmark, so he actually learned to play the drums. And Dave Mustaine was kicked out of the band for killing Euronymous.

[@stanley1976]

The vocals came in and I instantly thought CARCASS! This version is awesome!

[@lukasgraesslin]

same! (which is not a bad thing :D)

[@virjan]

Agreed!

[@vlagavulvin3847]

now works of art painted black ;)

[@Revivethefallen]

Love Carcass and Metallica 😊

[@DaPhatNerd]

So glad to see this comment here, me too!

[@Jgrav]

This honestly sounds like something from Dissections Storm of Lights Bane album, which makes total sense.

[@tristanthanathan1978]

Yes, i felt this Dissection Vibes too. These minor Chords, the harsh Vocals, the freezing atmosphere.

[@ofmetalphilosophy4837]

Exactly

[@СерёгаВикторович_87]

No, more like Behemoth

[@galshara]

Oh my fucking god. This is the one of the most badass cover i ever listened.

[@depthsofstygia]

Thank you so much for using our shirt for this terrific cover. We appreciate it a lot 🔥.

[@Bmreviews]

I would listen a full Metallica album if it were recorded this way.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Yeah I'd love to listen to their whole discography redone with Black Metal covers.

[@vovahimself]

I like it that you don’t do too many changes to the arrangement. Usually they will just take some signature song from the genre being covered “into” and many a totally different song with all too different chord progressions and suchlike. You really added “Black” without letting the (creeping) “Death” go.

[@sergi0YT]

black metal is creeping into creeping death

[@cookiesontoast9981]

This is by far my favourite version of this song ever. If you were ever to make more Black Metal Metallica covers I would be so happy.

[@ExplosiveAction]

The blasts in the bridge and outro truly make this.

[@borist.]

The only way i can like Metallica lol. Stunning job man,not only musically but also the video work is amazing!

[@Lykanthrop]

Thanks a lot!

[@csbaucu7761]

It's Dissection! I was sitting and thinking about Dissection, remembering the time my Dad said it sounded like Metallica. I thought, 'I know someone out there has done a black metal version of one of their songs,' and lo and behold, it's the guy who does Dissection covers on KZbin. Sounds great, man.

[@FauxKingChrist666]

Ironically, I met Lars at a Satyricon show near San Francisco in 2018. He actually likes black metal.

[@mikoajnierada7857]

He likes to watch good drummers🤣

[@northazerate]

One of the best Metallica songs (and personaly - my fav). Outstanding cover and fantastic edit - as always!

[@Baumscheibenkunst]

The original version of this song has been one of my absolute favorites for more than thirty years. That makes it pretty difficult to make a cover I would not call a total screw up. Well, you nailed it. This is so cool, I love it! Next: Sacrifice by Venom. I've always wondered what it would be like with decent sound and production. Just in case you run out of ideas 😉

[@fakehuman3484]

Lars worst nightmare. 😂

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

Actually being good at drums? 😂

[@alonsonomad74]

Have a mercy to Lars!))

[@svfun5263]

Indeed😂

[@ernestoflores1057]

Lars who? New number 😂😂😂😂😂

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

Having to play challenging compositions 😮

[@work7862]

just so you know man, i've returned directly for this cover. such a great job

[@DBSG1976]

Great guitar tone! The addition of the blastbeats is inspired.

[@SigismundSonOfDorn]

Easily one of my favorite Metallica songs and I've always felt it had black metal vibes

[@MaskedRiderChris]

One of the best songs on "Ride The Lightning", for sure!

[@Xplora213]

The instruments have improved, the lighting is much better…. The mix is great. Well done Lykan, some of us have been watching you progress for a long time now 👌 😊

[@laporteestouverte]

Amazing cover. The way you changed just slightly the chords to make them more devilish, and added tremolo and blast beats, man, this sounds like it was always written and played that way!

[@andreasbjrnskou3210]

Double bass and black metal vocals really makes this song feel even heavier, awesome cover!

[@scarcrowsworld4914]

As a BIG Metallica Fan and a fan of True Norwegian Black Metal, I love this!

[@rmrox666]

creeping death is a black metal song! so perfect.

[@NavelOrangeGazer]

A song from the perspective of the Angel of Death totally needs that kind of vocal. Excellent cover!

[@maze_2110]

This is the best cover I've ever heard. Period.

[@tehwicked]

Insane dude. Incredible attention to detail in every element of the production.

[@blyp48]

The black metal style perfectly fits the chorus part. Bravo

[@pasza_dem]

This is amazing rework, it has enough if new and original mixed together to be still same and very different at the same time, this is generally one of the best examples how you should do covers!!! Respect the original and expand and show different dimension of original so it sounds new at the same time!

[@wrenchhammer5106]

One of the coolest things I've ever heard. Great job. I'll be playing this every day for a while

[@7053poppy]

Your artistry and general aura that you generate are not from this world. Your signature sound and most important feel that you manage to infuse in somebody's art is a pure genius. Well done!

[@vozmajster1011]

Damn, what a great musician you are! Legendary cover, I love Black Metal, songs by Metallica like this were my young days... Put all that together and I think I've got my new favorite! Honestly, you nailed this! And I think this song in particular is a really good choice for a BM cover, I mean just look at the lyrics =D Just don't show this to Lars... =D In all seriousness though, I love how you kept most of the original aspects of the song, just made it sound more badass with the drums and different guitar sound, also the vocals! Let me just say that you are up there with the BM icons! And I'm so happy that the "tRvE kVlT" (just couldn't not say it, I truly do apologise =D) heritage is still kept alive by talented musicians like you! Cheers! \m/

[@yeisonportillo22]

Damn it!!!! It felt like discovering a new aspect of Metallica's music all over again! newly added to one of my BM playlist. As always you never disappoint, please keep bringing us these amazing metal crossovers!

[@angelo_pereira]

Man, what an absolute awesome job! Those blasts are amazing and that ending gave me dissection vibes and I loved throughout! You sir are a genius! 👏👏👏

[@petespencer8813]

I was nervous when you called this Black Metal. It is DEFINITELY BLACK METAL! Sweet job!!🫡🤘👍

[@MaskedRiderChris]

This is inspired! I wish more bands out there would take this approach to playing cover songs and put the effort in to make songs their own as opposed to just playing it straight through and being boring about it. (Looking at most every one of the people out there who have covered either "Ace of Spades" or "Circle of the Tyrants", here.) Good job on all instruments and your vocals were excellent as well, sir!

[@HeathenDance]

There are very interesting approaches out there, but they are not benefiting from youtube's algorythm. If doesn't have a video to support it, being just the sound, it's more complicated.

[@Omnatten9]

That part by 3:44 is some straight up Vreid stuff, amazing, love it. Thank you :D

[@merlin704]

Whoa.....this showed up as Recommended and quickly became the cover I didn't know I needed. Great work!!

[@retepnosbig4859]

SICK!!! It works this time!!! There was no audio last time I tried to watch. This is sick my friend!!! Great job!! 🤘😎🍻

[@dercadafan2329]

Einfach nur fantastisch. Als alter Sack habe ich die Veröffentlichung von „Ride the Lightning“ noch live mitbekommen. „Creeping Death“ ist einer meiner ewigen Lieblingssongs und steht auch als 12“ Single im Plattenregal. Dein Cover bringt den Song aber noch einmal auf eine völlig neue Ebene. Ich finde es unglaublich toll, was Du da ablieferst. Vielen Dank.

@@Ibetrippinfrfr where did I say they were bad? I just said they were way better with enhanced drum tracks. Relax.

[@davidfordyoyoguy]

Awesome! I always love a good black metal conversion. Need more, but this one is perfect. Even my wife, who DGAF about black metal, said it sounds way better. Love it! Edit: Between IT doing Motorbreath and this, we are spoiled with amazing Metallica covers lately.

[@skullthunder3181]

Blackened thrash is a gift. Great cover and amazing drumming

[@Imthrashsfu]

That was impressive! I loved all the black metal touches. I missed the melodies in the vocals, but I can imagine only Ihsahn being able to pull that off.

This is so amazing. Thank you for this. I hear a lot of modern Mayhem in the drums and guitar voicings. LOVE IT.
