Seether - Careless Whisper
Okay I don’t really like Cradle of Filth but my husband does. But I really really like their cover of Iron Maiden’s “Hallowed Be Thy Name.” Somehow the cover has more energy than the original.
If that floats your boat, give Fear of the Dark by Graveworm a listen. Iron Maiden lends itself really well to dark metal.

Most songs by Leo are pretty good
I particularly like Unholy from him.
Full disclosure, I’m not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn’t always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.
Rage of Light - Aqua’s “Candyman”

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze. Particularly poignant after Peter’s passing.
This cover of Gangnam Style is one I’ve always enjoyed.
Halocene’s cover of Unholy is pretty good as well.
Unstoppable - Red, original by Sia
Artas - Gangsta’s Paradise
Dan Vasc - Toss a Coin to your Witcher
Riders in the sky by Dezperadoz
Painkiller by Death
No remorse by Cannibal Corpse
Rainbow in the dark by Corey Taylor and The Last In Line by Tenacious D. A lot of songs in that Dio tribute album’s pretty good.
