I've always felt that, even with the Disturbed Version, Nevermore did the best version, because:
a) They put a whole new spin on it and
b) The lyrics fit Nevermore so perfectly, when comparing to songs like "the heart collector"

Not exactly a cover, but this is my favorite version of How Great Thou Art, a once very popular hymn in the US.

I didn't really like that cover of Sound of Silence. That song has always felt very emotionally draining to me for some reason. Both the Disturbed, and original (and maybe trolls?) All feel like a I'm being brought to an emotional state for some reason, like a lump in my throat and I don't know why, by the end I have a wave of anxiety leaving me. That cover just sounded like any other normal rock/metal song I've heard and I didn't feel as emotionally pulled for some reason.
I have two. First Hurt. I was never a Johnny Cash fan until I heard his cover of that NIN song. Then I started to appreciate his older stuff. Oh and that video is chilling too.
The other is somewhat for fun. Taylor Swift Blank Space covered by I Prevail.

And what's wrong with just another metal song?
I do agree with you that the cover would be pretty unknown and unremarkable if it weren't for the original. Well, unremarkable is an overstatement. I stand by my word that it fits the Nevermore catalog pretty well and on "dead heart in a dead world" that is high praise.
OK, here's a song I hate in the original and love as a cover. The solo, in particular, is awesome:

This seemed to upset a lot of the people I worked with but I found it really funny (at least try to make it to the chorus). If you enjoyed it there are a lot of similar videos on the channel.
