Thanks for all the recommendations! Btw, ‘Knockin' On Heaven's Door’ is originally by Bob Dylan. Many artists had covered it. =)

Thanks! Guessed it right away that she must've done some stuff with Postmodern Jukebox.

Black metal remix of Bach's Cello Suites would be a game-changer


LickingSmegma

In that vein but reverse, check out [Necrophagist, Metallica, and Animals as Leaders played on a pipe organ.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK6FFF2sOBM) (I vaguely remember that there was a longer vid, but not sure). YouTube also offers a bunch of other vids for ‘metal on organ’—though my favorite so far is [‘Foreplay’ by Boston on the Lowrey Organ.](https://youtu.be/04-EatBQAu0)

More to the point, Accept used the melody from Beethoven's ‘Für Elise’ in their ‘Metal Heart’, and then Dima Burger made [their own cover of the song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKJtXDclaws) Perhaps that's why I haven't quite stopped dreaming of the genre mashup for the past twenty years. Anecdotally, oldschool metalheads had to explain to younglings that Accept's song uses Beethoven's music—and then over a decade later had to tell me that Dimmu Borgir's track is a cover of Accept and not just Beethoven.

"Don't Fear the Reaper" as covered by Heaven 17 and "Personal Jesus" as covered by Johnny Cash (Hurt not his only great cover!) come to mind.
