Death Cover Judas Priest’s Painkiller
February 22, 2009 by Scott
Painkiller is one of my favorite Judas Priest songs and Death’s last album, The Sound Of Perseverance is an under-rated album by the band. No one can sing a Judas Priest song like Rob Halford but Ripper Owens did a fair job during his time. The late Chuck Schuldiner did his best to wail and scream like Halford in this cover of Judas Priest’s Painkiller. Enjoy.
This is a great cover. Such a shame this was the last Death album. R.I.P. Chuck!
I’m a bit surprised that’s the song he chose to cover, but it works.
