10 Best Rock Covers Of 2020
6. The HU - Sad But True
As the first of two Metallica covers to make this list, The HU’s version of ‘Sad But True’ is one of the most unique covers you will ever hear. The Mongolian metal band are amongst the most distinct groups in the world today, standing out from the crowd with their use of traditional Mongolian instruments and almost otherworldly vocal style.
Metallica’s influence over the world of metal is nearly unparalleled and with exception of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, they are probably the biggest metal band of all time. This is reflected by the high volume of Metallica covers which are released even today, with The HU’s version of ‘Sad But True’ being released 27 years after the original.
It’s always important to bring something new when covering a song as famous as ‘Sad But True’, and The HU certainly did this by not only applying their own distinct style, but also reciting the lyrics in their native Mongolian.
