Oh, seems like I forgot about the HammerFall, Children of Bodom, and Arch Enemy cover albums. But it's good to make sure, right? No wonder some cover albums aren't in the site, they aren't metal! The Within Temptation and Between the Buried and Me cover albums actually have at least one metal genre in their RYM primary genre list (Symphonic Metal for the Q-Music Sessions, Progressive Metal and Alternative Metal for The Anatomy Of), and some songs from both albums such as WT's covers of "Titanium" and "Dirty Dancer" (2 of my favorite metalized pop song covers, both in my earlier epic metal taste and in general) and BTBAM's covers of "Blackened" and "Cemetery Gates" (2 of my favorite covers of other metal songs) still sound really metal. However, the Dillinger Escape Plan and In Flames cover EPs are both labeled just Alternative Rock and, sadly but truly, that sounds about right. And yes, Burn the Priest hasn't been added yet, but their cover album is for when they do get added. So please take the time to add the cover albums that are metal but not added yet, along with Burn the Priest, while you're adding other bands. No need to rush. Thanks Ben!
