A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

I’m wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I’m working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.

The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I’ve had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don’t really know a lot more like this.

Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?

Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy

    Not sure if it’s a federation issue or something but this didn’t load for me unfortunately! Does anyone know what the problem is?

        Not at all, it just shows the broken image icon for me where I assume the link should be. I tried loading it in the browser and it was the same. Could be a federation or client quirk!
