Death fucking killed this cover. Best Painkiller cover version ever.

Don't execute me: I think that Death's painkiller is better than Priest's. Chuck is prefect in everything that he does.

Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) was a true genius

I love Angra, but in this cover, Death rules! Anyway, Andre Matos was the best metal vocal in Brazil... R.I.P André Matos. R.I.P Chuck Schuldiner. 😥

Death’s versionof painkiller already gave a tough competition to priest 😂

18:06 my man struggeling to hold back tears after hearing Death´s superior cover :D

Richard Christy is one of the most underrated drummers in metal, he killed on this album with Death Chuck knew who he was getting.

I give it to angera for making a near authentic verson of the OG Painkiller, bou HOOOOO BOY, DEATH's PAINKILLER WAS OVERKILL!

Death painkiller> Original Painkiller> Angra Painkiller

Chuck's voice is inhuman...

Although I love Angra and his execution of this song is impeccable, Andre's voice, guitars, drums, everything. The version of Death is a masterpiece Chuck's heartbreaking voice is spectacular it transmits too much the sense of Painkiller, in my opinion it is one of the best covers that exist. I Love this Channel !🤟❤️

dude, you have an epic beard

Death's version sounds like a Leviathan singing this classic in the shower... incredible!

I like death's version because you recognise it but it doesn't try to copy very cool version.

The Death version is unattainable even for Judas Priest

Both amazing Bands two of my favorites. I give Death the edge overall. I mean Death version is arguably better than the original Priest version

La versión de Death es tan increíble

When halford heard chucks voices he was sweating bullets

El cover de Angra es maravilloso, la voz de Andre Matos (Q.E.P.D.) es una de las mejores voces del heavy/power metal de la historia, pero el cover de Death está a otro nivel. Para mi, gana Death

Death is the best 🤘

Like you I’m not a death metal fan. I am going with Deaths version of Painkiller

My takeaway from this is Angra's is much more faithful to the original and pulled it off really well, but Death's cover really ended up making it their own thing in a way. It was good enough to make the final track on their actual studio album, so :P

Death version its even bether than the original.

Angra if your want to cover as close to the original, Death if you wonder what it could have been 10 years later......

I think Death captured the aggression of the original more effectively. But scoring it across the board on all instruments. I think Death is the clear winner. Drums is hands down a win for Death. Richard Christy is just a monster player. Bass again goes to Death, Steve DiGorgio is a legend and has been in like a million bands at this point. Guitars is more of a toss up. Throughout most of the song I would say the production was better on death but the playing more accurate for Angra. However I give it to Death because of Chuck's improvised solo near the end (5:08 in the song). But that one could really go either way. But what really cements the win is the absolute insane vocal performance from Chuck. He basically took the banshee like wail of rob halford and turned it into a hellish shriek. That he was able to scream out those extreme high notes exactly the same as Rob is just unreal. At the end of the day these are two great covers from two legendary singers, neither of whom is with us anymore sadly. And the only real loser is us because we don't get any more new music from them. Check out Spirit Crusher from Death off this same album. This same Death lineup (with addition of a clean singer) also did a progressive power metal project called Control Died, right before the cancer came back and took Chuck. In a very real way the final song on that record serves as a great final statement on life. "The Fragile Art of Existance".

Great job from both bands. However, Chuck's vocals fit Painkiller perfectly and launched it to another level.

Angra's vocal pretty close to original singing style. WOW! But, drums isn't so perfect for me. Judas Priest 👏🤘

This was very unfair to Angra. It's like comparing a sandwich to a week-stay at the Ritz with all expenses paid.

The three Death tracks that I think would be perfect as a next step are Symbolic from the title album, Spiritual Healing from that title album, and Flesh and the Power it Holds from The Sound of Perseverance. All 3 are a little less abrasive compare to most Death songs, but they're all great gateway songs into the more heavy stuff on Human and Scream Bloody Gore.

Angra at Metal Academix again

This is weird, almost no one is talking about Richard Christy's unlimited unmatched drumming power, no only on the technical side (which is jaw dropping amazing) but his way developing the song is down right aggressive and full of adrenaline. 50% of this cover being the best is because there's just no better drummer in the world for this You can criticize the vocals all you want for the diction or what ever but the result is aggressiveness and adrenaline again, just full of emotion Guitar, while not surprisingly amazing, fits perfectly and Chuck gets the job done, all the solos fills the cover's mood perfectly, same for the bass Angra is perfect but in this cover, drums and vocals simply don't match up guitars quality. The whole cover lacks "punch" "aggressiveness" and "adrenaline" and Painkiller is all about that

Sound of perseverance came out in 1998. Their first album came out in 1987

OMG I don't believe I forgot how awesome those covers are

For the record, The Sound of Perseverance released in '98.

Chuck spent so much time on perfecting the song that it's not a fair comparison because I do really enjoy the Angra version but it's not contest which one is better

Despite I am Death fan, I like Angra's version more, because they could kept the song unchanged but turned into relaxed a joyful mood. Impressive job

The world loves Angra more than here in Brazil lmao I'm loving this channel

death's version is more aggresive and is just what the song needed...but guitar solo from Angra is far better, smooth and accurate.

I will like to see a Battle between Obscura doing the cover of "lack of compression" (Death) vs Insidious Disease doing the same song. Both versions are insane!!!

Death, all the way.. Watching this during Death's vocal singer's birthday.. Happy birthday Chuck!!

I love Angra, especially the late, great Andre Matos. They did a fantastic cover! But Chuck's version with Death is just another level. I even prefer it to the original Priest version.

Death's Painkiller is the ultimate metal cover

El mejor cover de painkiller siempre va ser death no hay nadie q lo pueda ser mejor q death

the death cover painkiller is featured on the band's final studio album.

Nice video. I suggest you guys to listen more to Chuck Schuldiner's Death! One of the best and more innovative deathmetal bands ever!

The most amazing thing in this video... Your tie man ! 🤣

Cada uno hizo lo suyo pues ambos son muy buenos gracias por este gran video

Chucks vocals were something to fucking behold. Not to mention his guitar skills

Death kicks ass way better

The Death version came out on their last album in 1998. Chuck, the front man plays leads and sings. Death rules this. Hands down.

You can hear Halford chime in on the final refrain. He's on the Death cover...

Both are great . But death version is abrasive man and there s something more haunting about it , very in phase , faithfull yet more personnal and extreme. I like the sound better too, more warm

Perfect

Until today I have not heard any other cover that does not surpass that of chuck schuldiner ... that cover is insurmountable, I would even dare to say that it is better than that of judas priest

@22:39 When asked for a softer death. from the same album their is an acoustic track called "voice of the soul" is awesome. actually check that full album out, all good songs but standout is "the flesh and the power it holds" Also this was from Death last album, After this. The band stayed mostly the same but got Ripper Owens on vocals and did an album under the band name Control Denied. Album was called the fragile art of existence, i didn't like it so much but might give it a relistening soon.

I think Deaths recording is superior in a way that makes it impossible to compare.

Death version is insane

There is also a cover from Lovebites now. It's pretty great as well.

The fuckin goosebumps I get everytime Chuck hit's that note at 17:47 best version of this song hands down better than the original! \m/

Shortly, Pankiller is epic.

I gota be with this guy on this one , no matter how hard you try Angra just doesn’t make the cut . Death takes the lead on this one

Dos legendarios que ya no están con nosotros en este plano. Chuck y Andre

DEATH over everything

Saludos desde chile 🇨🇱

💕 to angra

Hi just discovered your channel and it's a brilliant idea to do this. Watched the young man wanting to like Angra and laughed when it came to the breakdown in Deaths version which was brilliant and the hands went over the eyes. You liked it that much you couldn't tell a white lie lol. The lovely lady did like the Angra version judging by her reaction I suspect though because it is very similar to priests. I am not a death metal/thrash metal fan but deaths version is frigging brilliant. In summery Angra version is a great wee cover of the song but Deaths version is a new take on the classic and a fantastic take at that. it's like Mozart doing a cover of Beethoven

I definitely like the angra one better but damn death is a close competitor

Chuck did growls earlier and changed his style later. The song came out with the album Sound of Perseverance, which was made 1997/1998. Released in Aug 98. The song crushes by Death.

I first heard this song by death before the original so death's my fav version.

03:00 Angra Cover 12:02 Death Cover Your welcome

Angra é muito foda!!! Mas prefiro a versão do death ❤❤🤘🤘

Well, the best version is... Judas's version hahaha Jokes apart, both were great, they sound like different sides of Painkiller. Angra is more melodic than the original Death is more aggressive than the original I will go for Angra this time just because of personal taste. And to the Strong Hipster guy(Sorry idk you guys name's) about you not liking Angra, its okay, everyone has the right to be wrong XD Good vid btw \o

you guys didnt do any more death after this?! damn i felt like you guys really liked them

Check out Angra's Huthering Heights version.

chucks guitar tone is legendary.

Chuck is a magnificent Screeching Battle Eagle

Death 's work is a masterpiece

Death hands down. I don't like death metal too much but ""The sound of perseverance" is a masterpiece. It is more progressive than death to me and that cover nails painkiller feeling perfectly.

Music isn’t a contest, it’s about whatever moves you. My opinions: Angra’s drummer was off time in a few spots. That’s REALLY distracting to hear as a musician. The mix was unfortunately terrible. But maybe they just didn’t have the budget to get it produced well. Angra’s vocalist succeeded in sounding VERY much like Rob, and excellent job on the high notes! Very faithful to the original. Chuck is not as good of a lead player as Kiko, but I enjoyed the fact that he took the solos and changed the key a bit, creating a unique mood. What was I thinking as I listened to them both? How did they make me feel emotionally? 1. With Angra, I found myself being distracted by the poor mix, and the occasional tempo errors. I was hanging on every one of the vocalists notes, wondering if he could do what Rob did, and I was excited when he did! When Kiko started playing, I immediately could tell he was a great guitarist. I also waited to hear how faithfully he would play Glenn’s solos, and it was cool that he DID stay faithful to most of it. Having not heard much of any of Kiko’s playing though, it didn’t seem like he had a recognizable style- just that he was great and intending to play the original solos. Overall, I enjoyed it, but thought that Judas Priests version was better. 2. With Death, I immediately noticed the superior mix. The drummer stayed on tempo, and played everything just like Scott Travis did. When Chuck started singing, I also knew immediately that this cover would NOT be an attempt to duplicate the original, but be an INTERPRETATION of it in their own style. Because of that, I was NOT distracted wondering if he would sing like Rob, or play like Glenn, I just went along for the ride. Chuck is not a classically trained singer, but hit some awesome high notes/screeches which just packed an emotional punch that I loved. It WAS over the top, uncontrolled, and aside from the drumming, much less technically perfect than Angra. Overall, I enjoyed Death more, because they did something unique and had a better mix. With Angra, I don’t think I’d listen to their version multiple times, because it’s like a “Nearly as Good as Judas Priest Version, But Not Quite.” I respect both bands, and both versions have great qualities to them.

I never listened to Judas Priest. I never listened to Death. I did listen to Angra in the old days. Here is the ranking of each version in my opinion 1) Death version is the best by far! 2) Judas Priest 3) Angra In fact when the mood strikes and I want to listen to Painkiller, I just play Chuck's masterpiece.

Death for me.🤘🏻

Death is simply brutal.

A versão do death parece o Dilera imitando o Axl Rose kkkkkkkk

I enjoyed Angra's version the most. Death version is pretty cool, but I guess it exaggerated a bit on being aggressive

Check voice of the soul (Death)

Angra is the favourite band of my entire life, but... Death version is stunning. Maybe we could mix Angra voice with Death instruments!

Chuck was just too good

Are you kidding? Death are the best extreme band in the world! RIP Chuck

Death did start death metal its in there name

there' no life without Death

DEATH no question about it. Angra sound happy the peppy compaired to Death.

Angra did a killer solid version of Painkiller hands down! I love the into sweep picking approach to the guitar solo! THAT was masterful! And the singer sounded like Rob Halford from Brazil! Definitely 🤘🤘! However, Death has a special place in my heart so I have to vote DEATH! Grande ente love and respect for Angra!!!!

Chuck made that song his how Johnny cash did to hurt

8:33 The Best Summer you ever have?, E Tuning, To 17:36, To The Metal Midnight of Evil, Eb Tuning?,

I am not a fan of Death, and I certainly enjoy Angra a lot. I do think Angra’s version is good, but Death made the song their own so it’s my preferred version here. Although it’s so intense sometimes I’d rather listen to Angra. I still find the original to be the sweet spot for me though but Death really has a great take on it. No surprises many prefer their version.

Can i please make another Suggestion, i am the Keldian Guy :-) Please make a reaction to the Band Leverage! They are harder than Keldian, very, but also underrated!! My Tipps: "Shadow in the rain", "King of the night", "Stormchild", "Hellhorn", "Dont touch the sun", "Rise", "Wolf and the moon", "rider of storm" and "Broken wings", last is the best!!!

Death: that woman has a nice voice. It's a nice equivalent of a death metal male singer lol

Actually like the sound Death creates, but to me neither cover makes it in the end. To me Painkiller is one of those tracks that should be left alone. Painkiller is also a testament to Priest's level of knowledge and quality of creating something so unique so far into their career. Usually bands do all their classics during the first two or three album releases... Anyway: a cool BoB choise! Cheers!

Chuck FTW ALL DAY

Death 🤘🤘
