2025 Covers You May Have Missed

I am working on the Top 50 of 2025, and I realized that there were quite a few covers released last year. I don’t include cover songs on that list, so I thought I’d share them here.

Also – Crispin Earl of The Veer Union released Covers Collection, Vol. 2 on December 5th, which includes his renditions of “The Kill” by Thirty Seconds to Mars, “Even in Arcadia” by Sleep Token, and more!

Let’s Talk Covers (Pt. 3)

1. Black Veil Brides: “Unholy”

2. Avenged Sevenfold: “Paranoid”

As much as I love A7X, something about Matt’s voice in this cover bothers me. Lol.

3. Like A Storm: “Gangster’s Paradise”

One of the more interesting covers I’ve heard.
