To do covers or not to do covers?

Let me say it like it is, there is certain bands that you should keep your hands off, in terms of playing covers. Your crappy deathmetal band should stay away from doing Carcass, Slayer or At The Gates covers. Unless you are indeed one of the aforementioned bands. As such, At The Gates covering Slayer makes more sense...

The same logic applies for blackmetal bands covering Darkthrone and so forth...

This said, some bands are able to lift the burden of covering extremely influential bands in their own "genre". This, my friends, is one of them. I bring you four Black Sabbath covers by the one and only Thou, as presented on their "Through empires of the eternal void" 12''.

Listen, and be crushed!
