I'd like hear from you guys a few good suggestions of NWOBHM songs covered by other metal bands.

Thanks in advance!

How about The Hookers?
They've recorded several nifty NWoBHM covers:
Two Wheels (Centurion)
Out Of My Head (Raw Deal)
Riding With The Angels (Samson)
The Mugger (Shock Treatment)
also the Hookers side project Dragon's Kiss does a cover of 'Somewhere Up In The Mountains' by Marquis De Sade too.



THE HOOKERS

If all those Venom/Maiden cover-compilations and Metallica garage-days doesn't count, then the first one which immediately comes to my mind is great SODOM's take on "Don't Walk Away" by Tank.
Also their teutonic power bruders GAMMA RAY with "Heavy Metal Mania" by Holocaust.
And Roxxcalibur who are pure NWOBHM cover-band.

A new Canadian band called Axxion covered the Black Axe/Wolf song "Highway Rider"

A few I've dug lately:

Wild Witch - Rock Me To The Limit (Tokyo Blade)
Night Demon - Lightening to the Nations (Diamond Head)
Lucifer - Loser (Angel Witch)


and an oldy but goodie:

Heretic - Riding with the Angels (Samson (well Russ Ballard originally but I think they got it from the Samson version))

Thanks guys for the suggestions, i'll look into them.

Keep them coming, especially the more obscure covers.

Couple of good Witchfinder General covers:

Northwinds - Friends of Hell
Upwards of Endtime - Burning a Sinner (appears a backward playing hidden track on their eponymous album)

I can't think of any, but unsure i really want to hear covers because the originals are so good.
recently started listing to Vardis a lot, and doubt cover songs would ever be as cool.

It was interesting to hear Metallica do covers, like their "Garage Inc" release , or when SODOM covered the rare b-side of Tank's "Don't Walk Away".

Gamma Ray does a good job with HMM, thanks!

Yeah, not all covers are good. But sometimes it's fun to hear a new take on an old song. For example, I think Metallica does a great job on Iron Maiden's Remember Tomorrow.

I just remembered Blind Guardian covered Trial By Fire.

Didn't realize that Sentinel Beast had a female lead signer, pretty good stuff!

Keeping with IM covers... Hey I can like death metal when it's an instrumental:

I like Out of my Head, thanks!

A death metal band from the USA called Infinifixion did this pretty killer cover of Phantom of the Opera too. If you like melodic death metal, you should definitely check out their demos.

Gamma Ray also covers Holocaust's Death or Glory admirably!

No death metal for me. Cookie Monster ''signing'' PotO kinda kills it for me.

Holy Grail covered Judas Priest's Exciter and Accept's Fast as a Shark.

[Metallo]

White Wizzard - Gates of Gehenna (Cloven Hoof cover)

Thanks, but neither qualifies as NWoBHM IMHO.
