As someone who loves the original, this version is great. I love their original stuff but I always find it interesting to see a band's take on another band's song. Gotta say, their take on this one is great.
What great band? Do you mean Amon Amarth? Yeah sure, They can't sing so the have to resort to growling. Everyone in the whole world can growl. This is garbage
people should respect not the notorioty of the band but respect the fact sabbath will forever be the founders so all metal fans should instead of bitching because it doesn't sound like ozzy raise the devil horns in the air and respect one hell of a talented band's tribute to their gods
love,love black sabbath,they are the best rock band ever.i am learning to play their songs on my guitar.I love warpigs, ironman,farries wear boots,snowblind,paanoid.I wish I could meet them an thank tonni iommi for who well he can rip a guitar
I was so glad I stumbled across this Sabbath cover album when I was in the newsagency one day; there's so many great covers on it. Besides this one, my other two favourites would be Turisas' cover of 'Supernaut' and Cavalera Conspiracies 'Electric Funeral.' Fucking awesome \m/
Sorry, but I like this version. And anyway, if covering your favourite bands is left to the old guys, who's gonna cover them in the future? You do your cover, they do theirs. In their way. We all love the song. In our unique ways.
you are right, I withraw the comment, was silly and offensive. My apologies man, I Am just saying I love the song. There are tastes for everything. I am 36, I've been rockandrolling since I can remember. As you grow, the musical taste and the knowledge of music gets better and better man. Keep rocking, if you are listening to this at 12, you are in the good path man. Peace
Real Metal Comment's more than a year old fer fuck's sake. Anyways, it just doesn't sit with me quite right. Removes a lot of color from the song I suppose.
+Real Metal Yes, their vocal do fit! They growl so if you are not used it your ears don'' like it, that's all. It's your ears not them and that's ok. My ears cant stand country ... lol
@shitforbrains121 well its not on any of there actual albums its just a compilation cd with various artists doing cover songs so I think its good to hear other artists perform songs that are well known, unless ur a diehard fan of said band and dont want to hear any other versions :P
@DavidDevildriver If you would share, that would be awesome! I've been looking for it a long time now. Can't even find it on iTunes. Message me the link if it's not too much trouble.Thanks again!
@DavidDevildriver oh right, fair enough then, i thought it was an album. and yeah its good they put the effort in, but black sabbath is hard band to cover and make it kind of your own sound, and still sound good, i think.
@MrNikodemu5 If U meant which of Amon Amarths official albums then none. It is only available with Metal Hammers free cd as a Tribute to Black Sabbath. Sorry If it is unavailable to you :/
@chestbeard I live in the Netherlands, and I was for one week in the UK and that was the only issue i found from Metal Hammer, I am suprised someone can't find that one
@metallicaman31130 it seems like this cover comes from a tribute cd for black sabbath or something... nevermind, i converted it, as daviddevildriver suggested me XD
@shitforbrains121 Isn't that true of all covers though? It's incredibly rare to find a cover that is actually better than the original (which is a matter of opinion anyway) but that's not what they set out to do when a band makes a cover. The point of a cover is to pay homage to a band that has influenced you and to put your own style/spin on it. I personally love this cover, but I can understand why some people don't.
@chestbeard cant you simply order it online mate? or if u want the song id post i up nd link it to you along wit the rest the tribute album you get on the cd
@CorruptZDI Thanks, and yeah man, you speak the truth there, respect where it's due, those two covers were actually pretty good, especially Faith No More's. But just for me, I hate a lot Sabbath covers and Black Sabbath is a particular band no-one can top in a cover. Just my opinion. Actually speaking of respect where it's due, listen to Ugly Kid Joe's version of sweet leaf, admititally, probably the best Sabbath cover i've heard.
i agree with you, i was listening to this stuff when i was 12. I dont think this song needs growling, it kinda totally, makes it a different song. Not children of the grave. White Zombie did it better. But i love the riffs...Still awesome.
@shitforbrains121 I WOULD 50 % OF THE TIME AGREE WITH YOUR STATE OF THINKING & IN FACT THIS IS & OR I IMAGINE NOT INTENDED TO BE THE IMPROVED UPON VERSION BUT A TWIST IN THE RIGHT OF AMON AMARTH & DONE WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL & WITH THAT IT MIND I RESPECT THEM FOR THEIR INTERPERATED TWIST . I AGREE NOT MY BAG FOR VOCALS . COULD IMAGINE THEM AS GREAT FOR VENOM TRIBUTE . BUT NOW LISTEN TO TYPE O VERSION OF BLACK SABBATH & BETTER (YES A SACRALIGE) THAN ORIGINAL ? > T C KARDOS / METALDAD2112
As someone who loves the original, this version is great. I love their original stuff but I always find it interesting to see a band's take on another band's song. Gotta say, their take on this one is great.
Dont you just love when great bands cover other great bands
Master, ait?
What great band? Do you mean Amon Amarth? Yeah sure, They can't sing so the have to resort to growling. Everyone in the whole world can growl. This is garbage
It’s just not another great band it is Black Sabbath !
Wait... My favourite band doing a cover of one of the best bands ever?... Too beautiful to be real.
people should respect not the notorioty of the band but respect the fact sabbath will forever be the founders so all metal fans should instead of bitching because it doesn't sound like ozzy raise the devil horns in the air and respect one hell of a talented band's tribute to their gods
Any half decent metal band should be able to cover at least one Sabbath tune on request. One must know from whence one came.
Same goes for Purple and Zeppelin tunes. And of course from Rainbow, Budgie, UFO and Nazareth
Agree
Fool.
We Metal Heads come from Beethoven.
Great song to cover.... Energy to die for......Above all classes.... Intrinsic avalanche of strength.... Seminole!
The album this is on is apparently 'hymns to the rising Sun' a compilation album of Amon Amarth.
The mood, the lyrics...... fit the band!!!!!!!!
Best cover song I ever heard accept for Aerials and sympton of the universe
No one can cover Black Sabbath i listened to many covers and nothing is as good as the original
love,love black sabbath,they are the best rock band ever.i am learning to play their songs on my guitar.I love warpigs, ironman,farries wear boots,snowblind,paanoid.I wish I could meet them an thank tonni iommi for who well he can rip a guitar
+Deidre Ramirez they are the reason I love to play guitar.i want to that good some day an make tonni iommi proud😀
Cover doesn't supposed to be original. That's why it is called a cover.
Listen to Corrosion of Conformity's version of Lord of this world or Sepulturas symptom of the universe or White Zombies children of the grave.
bat sabbath by cancer bats is fucking epic check it out
My favorite band and my favorite song in one place. Sweet.
Fantastic cover
Encontro de gerações, Amon Black!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song so much, great cover
haha i just noticed Johan is wearing a Bloodbath tshirt! Awesome!
wwwwwooooowwwww chingadamadre, esto es un cover y no mamadas, y en manos de los dioses vikingos de Amon Amarth
SALVE ODIN!!!!
Great cover!
Damn! Children of the BrownNote! Sounds sick asf!
3:49 onwards...goosebumps...well done amon amarth
Amazing!!!
Ozzy did us up righteous with these lyrics and these guys put them to good fucking use , HATS OFF !
This is one song, where nobody bitches about the bass player playing really hard.
One of my favorites to play!
Tony il maestro dei Riffoni metal
WOW, they included some of the timpale beats from the original!
This is just fucking awesome. I don't even have anything witty to say here, it's AMON AMARTH covering BLACK FUCKING SABBATH. The concept is just GOOD.
They also have covered 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' on their 'Versus the world' album
holy shit! This is damn awesome. Great cover by the best metal band in my opinion
Just discovered this out. Much better than the Sabbath bloody sabbath one.
I was so glad I stumbled across this Sabbath cover album when I was in the newsagency one day; there's so many great covers on it. Besides this one, my other two favourites would be Turisas' cover of 'Supernaut' and Cavalera Conspiracies 'Electric Funeral.' Fucking awesome \m/
I respect your humble, squared, limited and biased opinion man. Peace
You can find it in the Hymns To The Rising Sun compilation.
the mp3 compression on this is so bad
***** no it's just this band are shit
joaquinn yorke haha ;D
joaquinn yorke Amon Amarth and shit should never be used in the same sentence. Unless it's saying "Amon Amarth is the shit."
You skipped the best part of the song! THE INTRO!!!!!!!!!!!
Never knew amon did a cover. \m/
they've even done sabbath bloody sabbath
Rishad D'souza and Aerials
+g4rr377 And Balls to the Walls and War Machine ^^
This is too good for this world... we don't deserve it...
It's just awesome
I dig it, nicely done. CHeers!
this video is awesome
!!!!\m/
@strahinje
Without Black Sabbath this music wouldn't exist.
3:51 is IMMORTAL!!!!!!
Did you just d-tune the d-tune?
MultiCappie The fuck is a d-tune? It’s in B
Sorry, but I like this version. And anyway, if covering your favourite bands is left to the old guys, who's gonna cover them in the future? You do your cover, they do theirs. In their way. We all love the song. In our unique ways.
brutal fucking riff
lol did an awesome job of making a black sabbath song sound exactly like them
Johaan wearing a Bloodbath shirt, thats fuckin sick.
you are right, I withraw the comment, was silly and offensive. My apologies man, I Am just saying I love the song. There are tastes for everything. I am 36, I've been rockandrolling since I can remember. As you grow, the musical taste and the knowledge of music gets better and better man.

Great!!!!
Like the instrumental, but Amarth vocals really don't fit the song.
The Crimson Fucker what? They are doing it in their style. So vocals do fit perfectly
Real Metal
Comment's more than a year old fer fuck's sake. Anyways, it just doesn't sit with me quite right. Removes a lot of color from the song I suppose.
+Real Metal Yes, their vocal do fit! They growl so if you are not used it your ears don'' like it, that's all. It's your ears not them and that's ok. My ears cant stand country ... lol
The Crimson Fucker agreed
Gerardo Molina TY my friend

This is freaking epic! When did this album come out and what is it called?
@shitforbrains121 well its not on any of there actual albums its just a compilation cd with various artists doing cover songs so I think its good to hear other artists perform songs that are well known, unless ur a diehard fan of said band and dont want to hear any other versions :P
