Within Temptation Covers Gotye, Bruno Mars, Gnars Barkley And More

Dutch metallers Within Temptation have decided to have some fun in the studio while celebrating their 15th anniversary.

And what better way to do that than by playing and recording some cool cover songs from various artist, both rock and pop.

So far, the covers include The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes", Coldplay's "Paradise", Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know", Mumford & Son' "Little Lion Man", Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy", as well as Bruno Mars' "Grenade", Enrique Iglesias' "Dirty Dancer", Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness", OneRepublic's "Apologize", Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child", David Guetta's "Titanium" and Adele's "Skyfall".

"We figured this would be a great occasion to do something special for the fans. It will be a musical adventure as we are covering songs that are very close to us but also songs that are not close to us at all", the band said.

You can check out some of the covers below.

So what do you think of the covers? Post your thoughts in the comments section below.

Gnarls Barkley, UG. If you can spell it right in the article, you could spell it right on the title. P.S. I happen to be a Gnarls Barkley fan. so blow me.

That Gotye cover was atrocious, the Crazy cover was good though but the vocals were way too high in the mix in my opinion.

I like this but I enjoy their own material more

[Dave Frenzy]

I really like them, its awesome how a band can just go into a studio and have fun with songs instead of having the "being super serious" attitude all the time.
