I'm presuming that's the only way Ozzy managed it. ;)

Sepultura did a solid cover of SotU in what is now back in the day,  
though I was always disappointed that Max didn't tackle the "clean  
sung" bit at the end; it was just a vocal-less acoustic outro in  
their version.  And there is, of course, the marvelous medieval Latin  
re-imagination of the track as "Symptoma Mundi" by Rondellus, which  
is virtually a cappella. (Whenever I listen to it, I keep waiting for  
them to break into a little frame-drum groove or something, but of  
course it never happens ....)

Cheers,
Carl
