As a metal song, it’s pretty good. As a cover, I think it barely counts. They essentially just played a brief homage to the melody at the very beginning, then abandoned it entirely. They lifted the lyrics almost one for one, for the most parts, but it bared no other resemblance to the original.
I like Disturbed’s cover because it transforms the song’s tone and the genre of the original while still being recognizable and truly paying homage to it. And it’s even outside Disturbed’s typical style. It’s incredibly unique.
