Metal Covers

Sabbath Covers

Since this is our initial excursion into unfamiliar territory (specifically bands covering songs by a specific artist), we figured what better way to kick things off than for us to pay homage to the artists who have paid homage to the Founding Fathers of Metal, the almighty BLACK SABBATH!!!

The beauty of cover songs is the myriad of unusual ways in which they can be performed. Some artists stay faithful to the original down to every last nuance and detail, while others go completely off the reservation altogether and create something uniquely their own while still capturing the spirit and essence of the original. None of that really matters to us:  if it’s anything Sabbath, we’re intrigued and interested. Full stop.

 

JOIN US as we get “uncorked and unfiltered” with our cover-to-cover coverage of the first volume of covers by the Godfathers of Metal. 

 

It’s time to explore BLACK SABBATH COVERS:  Vol. 1.
