For a deathcore cover of a classic song, this is actually really good! They could have easily ruined it by putting in some mindless breakdowns, but instead they kept it faithful but with their own influence which was a good decision!
I'm a huge Slayer fan and search and listen to all the covers I can find, Decapitated's cover of Mandatory Suicide was brilliant, but this cover of Angel of Death is the BEST Slayer cover of any song, available anywhere. This is the Shit for sure. Outstanding!!
When the band puts forward “What Slayer song should we cover?” and the drummer gets a big grin on his face and starts adjusting the tension on his pedals.
First Vader does a Slayer cover, then Decapitated, afterwards As I Lay Dying, and now Carnifex releases probably THE best Slayer cover I have ever heard \m/ fuck yes!
This is, surprisingly enough, a very well done cover. It's pretty amazing how a band like Carnifex is actually able to cover a song like this, without screwing it up with downtuned guitars or breakdowns, or something of that variety. Like I said, this cover is very well done. I think that even Tom Araya would say so, if he were to ever hear this cover.
How the heck did it take so long for me to discover this deathcore version?! This is the way I always wanted this song to be sung, best cover ever! Drummer is inhuman!
I don't like Deathcore much, but this band stands out among-st the crowd. I especially love how the screams sound more like black metal rather than just some stupid Hipsters trying to scream. All in all, this cover is pretty tight.
I've been a Slayer fan for 21 years. I must say this cover is great, I've just discovered Carnifex tonight. The howling to deep growling at the beginning. The vocals remind me of Cradle of Filth.
Not to knock Dave Lombardo (definitely on my Mount Rushmore or innovative and influential drummers), but the drums on this are super tight. Love the cover.
Totally! Dave is a beast, but so many of the modern drummers are outpacing the old guards in a lot of ways! And that's not a bad thing, nor does it take the crown from the kings. More like the torch being passed on, is how I see it. 🤘😁
I think bands who cover music like this renew the taste and technique so future people can see how wide of a variation they have for the music that use to be played inspiring them to be like that band or even more different. Covers are awesome, they put their own skill in the music.
Original songs will always be the best, but this cover is almost as good as the original. Great job, Carnifex! It's nice to see a deathcore band honor their influence.
Carnifex really is the elite tier of deathcore. They aren't a scene band, and you can tell. By far the deathcore band that most closely resembles black metal and death metal. I think that's why this cover slaps so hard.
Carnifex; forever the most metal deathcore band. Slayers original is always going to be better but this and Monstrosity are my favorite band covers of Slayers Angel of Death. Death did great on Black Magic too
@iwantoutnow yeah sure that's why they sponsor Immolation, Meshuggah, Decapitated and other good groups. Well, old Decapitated was good. Fuck their new shit. Lol
At the beginning he either says "jam it" or "damn it", which I assumed, because they messed up and had to start over because the song is so freakin fast and difficult, and at the end you can hear someone laughing like "haha! We finally got it!". That's how I'd feel at least, very nicely done guys! \m/
I'm not a deathcore fan, I've tried listening to other songs by this band and can't get along with them, but I have to say this is a very awesome cover of a very awesome band.
ANGEL OF DEATH! something something kingdom of the dead! >:O Its a good sound. :) Usually covers can peel the paint off a wall, but this is good. This is good.
I bought this album when it came out to get this cover, never even heard the band before. Didn't notice it didn't come this song. That being said they are now one of my favorite bands.
I had to come back to this after hearing the Carnifex cover of KoRns “dead bodies everywhere” .. This one is just far more superior. It’s gonna be hard for these guys to top this one ..
Great cover. As any cover should be, a tribute to an artist that you respect. My favourite song of all time, sounding just as fucking badass as the original. GG
This is not a fucking insult, you listen to any slayer fan say 'no one could make that song heavier, it's slayer dude!' well, carnifex have proven you wrong, slayer aren't that good imo
Hey, I really like both versions. *brains explode.*
*nods agreeingly*
Jg
RBj
I can listen to this one repeat all day
And still my brain explodes every time
I prefer carnifex overall but i also enjoy both versions.
For a deathcore cover of a classic song, this is actually really good! They could have easily ruined it by putting in some mindless breakdowns, but instead they kept it faithful but with their own influence which was a good decision!
*Opens song*
*Closes song*
*Rethinks life*
*listens to song again*
*Regrets nothing*
\m/
🤘
This is my all time favorite song.

TJCombo67 Hell yea, I completely agree
TJCombo67 Did You hear Monstrosity - Angel of Death? :3
th-cam.com/video/N1dPgbb2ZW4/w-d-xo.html check this out
As I Lay Dyings cover of War Ensemble is pretty good!
@@appealingender1398 Another favorite cover!
1.5 speed = Cattle Decapitation
+lazyfireball7889 Haha, wow. That is uncanny.
+trent sayers That's unsettling? xD
+trent sayers Also, now that I listen to it again, 1.25 sounds like CC as well.
lazyfireball7889 It felt familiar but unfamiliar is what I'm saying haha.
trent sayers Ah, alrighty. xD
When the band puts forward “What Slayer song should we cover?” and the drummer gets a big grin on his face and starts adjusting the tension on his pedals.
Love the blastbeats and double bass! Vocals were brutal! Love the original Slayer song but this one was great!!!!
nice job carnifex. this is the greatest cover i've ever heard
Montrosity was better
@@salvatoreperez5113 did you check Debauchery's cover? :)
First Vader does a Slayer cover, then Decapitated, afterwards As I Lay Dying, and now Carnifex releases probably THE best Slayer cover I have ever heard \m/ fuck yes!
I like Vader's cover
+Viking2797 hell yeah me too bro \m/
+Bloodrocutioner Check out the cover of "Postmorten" by Hate
"Angel of death" covered by Monstrosity is killer, too
Pedro Garcia hell yeah bro! \m/
This is, surprisingly enough, a very well done cover.

Like I said, this cover is very well done. I think that even Tom Araya would say so, if he were to ever hear this cover.
Their guitars get downtuned in the second half, and there's a breakdown-esque portion toward the end, though...
How the heck did it take so long for me to discover this deathcore version?! This is the way I always wanted this song to be sung, best cover ever! Drummer is inhuman!
I don't like Deathcore much, but this band stands out among-st the crowd. I especially love how the screams sound more like black metal rather than just some stupid Hipsters trying to scream. All in all, this cover is pretty tight.
Carnifex are Blackened DeathCore
This is Death Metal tho
This song in particular is Death Metal
yeah but carnifex is more death metal and black metal than deathcore so it's understandable why you'd like it
@@aramkaizer7903 core + black = mega posers
And now we know how "Slow Death" came to be!
no
cum to be
IMMENSE DECAY!!!!
Ericson Bernardo lol good one
This dudes vocals have a razor blade edge.... The raspy vocals are just.....sick.
I've been a Slayer fan for 21 years. I must say this cover is great, I've just discovered Carnifex tonight. The howling to deep growling at the beginning. The vocals remind me of Cradle of Filth.
i like when bands change 1 or 2 things ever so slightly. its way better than trying to reinvent the whole song.this is heavy as fuck. i dig it.
Not to knock Dave Lombardo (definitely on my Mount Rushmore or innovative and influential drummers), but the drums on this are super tight. Love the cover.
Totally! Dave is a beast, but so many of the modern drummers are outpacing the old guards in a lot of ways! And that's not a bad thing, nor does it take the crown from the kings. More like the torch being passed on, is how I see it. 🤘😁
This shows how important Slayer is to the Metal World.
Black metal vocals are a nice touch
Whoopi Goldberg “black” metal with an all black band lmaooo
Whoopie f'n Goldberg... omg
Wait this is black metal? I thought this was more death metal?
@@burtbiggum499 its a deathcore band at first but they are more death metal oriented than anything
I think bands who cover music like this renew the taste and technique so future people can see how wide of a variation they have for the music that use to be played inspiring them to be like that band or even more different. Covers are awesome, they put their own skill in the music.
That's some of the best mixing I've ever heard for a deathcore band
they total kick ass on this cover ......just total kicks ass...........Great job guys
This is truly the only AOD cover that is better than Slayer's original.
Sometimes i wonder how the heck i can air guitar at this speed.....
Its all in the wrist
And I am wondering how can I air-drum.
Wha!?
You could do it but it would probably look really stupid LOL
Amazing cover of the best metal song ever written."Angel Of Death" reigns supreme,the classic of classics.
good cover , and i love so much the speed in deathcore
For a supposed deathcore cover, this is straight-up pure death metal.
This is one of the heaviest things I've ever heard in my 37 years of metal.
Original songs will always be the best, but this cover is almost as good as the original. Great job, Carnifex! It's nice to see a deathcore band honor their influence.
Nope.
SLAYNIFEX!
Durex
This is probably the best cover of a Slayer song I've heard!!! I don't know who this band is but I'm gonna look them up now.
1:37 My favorite part starts here, headbang to this all day.
Carnifex really is the elite tier of deathcore. They aren't a scene band, and you can tell. By far the deathcore band that most closely resembles black metal and death metal. I think that's why this cover slaps so hard.
Great cover. They did Slayer proud
very best cover Slayer
Shout out to our drummer Ez drummer
And I thought this song couldn't get any heavier....this made my day! AMAZING cover, the vox are especially perfect. Wow. Well done.
Carnifex; forever the most metal deathcore band. Slayers original is always going to be better but this and Monstrosity are my favorite band covers of Slayers Angel of Death. Death did great on Black Magic too
Best version of slayer I heard this drummer is a beast!
Fuckin' BRUTAL! Nice cover! I love Slayer AND Carnifex!
Sneaked in that blast beat flawlessly
So glad Nuclear Blast is now their label
Nuclear Blast is pop not very much metal !
@iwantoutnow yeah sure that's why they sponsor Immolation, Meshuggah, Decapitated and other good groups. Well, old Decapitated was good. Fuck their new shit. Lol
115madmax Winds of Creation and Nihility was their best work imo
Cracking version of Angel of death love it
great cover,but you cant beat the original bette midler version.
As much as i love Slayer i always felt more extreme vocals suite this song.
@@geekgodofdeath6634 I agree, but Slayer is still one of the greatest metal bands of all time
@@geekgodofdeath6634 True. I also love the fantomas cover. Very evil and distorted like the real Angel of Death.
the best cover I've heard the angel of death, thanks for posting this monstrous cover.
It's like if Slayer and Deicide had Rosemary's Baby.
This drummer is a beast, and the vocals have a voice of an angel
Yeah...an Angel of DYATH!
I like this cover
The voice is liek the guy from carcass or massacra
that guitar solo with that high speed drums behind it sound fucking amazing
I always prefer this version over the original, just hits so much harder for me.
no.
heres johnny Wtf the original version is better
BLASPHEMY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I know what you mean but l like both best honestly. The cover definitely appeals to modern sensibilities more but the classic is still a classic.
@Decaying Corpse maybe it sounded heavier because of the tuning? This cover is great but i prefer Tom's yelling vocal.
This cover is fucking nuts.
This just further proves my theory that Slayer writes killer songs for more technically sound bands to do better versions of.
At the beginning he either says "jam it" or "damn it", which I assumed, because they messed up and had to start over because the song is so freakin fast and difficult, and at the end you can hear someone laughing like "haha! We finally got it!". That's how I'd feel at least, very nicely done guys! \m/
Kisckass Cover !!
4:21 Mind Blowing Speed on that Fill
Sick ass love Carnifex but you cant beat the originals!
Good job with the scream at the beginning.... Tom can't even pull that off anymore LOL.
Sounds more death metal now!!! \m/
before more thrash and now death!!!! sick-ning! i like it!
check debaucherys version
or black metal
Terrible itch
this is the best slayer cover ive evere heard in my life \m/
Absolutely legit cover, but until today nothing beats the Monstrosity version 🤘🏻
Monstrosity is such a good band, same studios as Cannibal Corpse
horns up, this rendition slays!!!!
darkened/blackened deathmetal?
for this cover only
perfection in darkness
Thrashed Deathcore
Sounds kinda like old Behemoth songs from their early days
Their style is Blackened Deathcore
Great cover! Sounds great!
3:18 GO BOOM BOOM
I'm not a deathcore fan, I've tried listening to other songs by this band and can't get along with them, but I have to say this is a very awesome cover of a very awesome band.
love the drummer
Very good! I'm glad they captured the speed and thrashy pace of Slayer's flagship song. Vocal style is preferential, but it's all about respect.
Did they say "damn it" at the beginning ? xD
Yeah wtf was with that 😂
Killer, cover !!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is even more face melting than the original.
Man that drummer is incredible!
SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER
Slayer: AAAARGHHHHH
Monstrosity: ROAAAAAAR
Carnifex: YAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHH
Slayer should feel honoured to have Carnifex cover one of their songs.
And not to mention they didn't ruin it or make it sound like shit
nah, carnifex is way more inferior than slayer, but the cover is not that bad
yeah right lol
Wow!! Crazy good cover. Best I’ve heard
This doesn't even sound like deathcore, this is cool.
the first page of comments leaves me with hope for this world. RIP Jeff
ANGEL OF DEATH! something something kingdom of the dead! >:O
Its a good sound. :) Usually covers can peel the paint off a wall, but this is good. This is good.
Another good one is vaders cover of raining blood.
ANGEL OF DEATH! Monarch to the kingdom of the dead!!!!! there u go :) \m/
ninjabassist11 xD
Morgana Grace
I thought it was monarch to the kingdom
cjakek it is actually
Didn't think this song could get heavier but I accidently set the playback speed to 1.25. 🙀😈
*Angel of death: “the Deathening”*
I bought this album when it came out to get this cover, never even heard the band before. Didn't notice it didn't come this song. That being said they are now one of my favorite bands.
this is the shit
nice meme
+Johnny Page nice bait
entiende la mierda
ttfd esto es una mierda
such a sick cover carnifex murdered this song
Does anyone else hear Cannibal Corpse in the instrumental part?
great version.I really like it :)
I'm probably gonna get some shit for saying this, but this is better than the original.
you're allowed to think that, like whatever you want to like and fuck elitists, I love this cover too. I like slayer better but thats just me
This is a damn good cover, so don't feel bad for liking it :D
no you wont cuz noone is giving some
agree
I agree this is more brutal and i like me some BROOTAL!!!!!
I had to come back to this after hearing the Carnifex cover of KoRns “dead bodies everywhere” .. This one is just far more superior. It’s gonna be hard for these guys to top this one ..
I know this is blasphemy I speak, but I kind of like this version even better than Slayers.
its a personal preference :)
Yes! Hell choose me
this 100% better then slayer
4:17 and onward made me cry tears of blood.
No offence to Slayer, but this version is better \m/
p o s e r
Haha no way, but this version rocks too.
poser :v
no
poser because he likes a cover more than an original?
i love the metal community...
I love how it went from a normal slayer cover to 7 string goodness towards the break
I think this is almost as good as the original...
Not even fucking close
Whatever bro
Tis a good cover but nothing will ever be better than the original when it comes to Slayer
when i look back now i feel stupid for saying that was almost as good...haha
ThisIsStupidd1 yes.
Great cover.
As any cover should be, a tribute to an artist that you respect.
My favourite song of all time, sounding just as fucking badass as the original. GG
0:47 foreskin?
Holy shit this is badass best Slayer cover I found yet
Some of Vader's Slayer covers are badass, but really though, this is probably the best Angel of Death cover I've ever heard.
This is 1000x better than the original
posser
this is so underrated its awesome!!!!
Does not sound like black metal at all, lmao.
they arent a black metal band
Everett Necessary It was meant to be a reply to a comment saying it was.
Absolutely, thank you metal gods. I smiled today.🎃🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is not a fucking insult, you listen to any slayer fan say 'no one could make that song heavier, it's slayer dude!' well, carnifex have proven you wrong, slayer aren't that good imo
Slayer is over rated
CharlyFoulkesVideos SLAYER fucking murders carnifex in every way nobody can beat slayer at playing their own songs sorry but still a good cover.
Obstinate Realist Says everyone who knows nothing beats a classic and the almighty SLAYER
Obstinate Realist shut up dude, you're making a fool out of yourself.
SatanicHades oof
