Death.

Is this a trick question? Death's cover is great... but nothing comes near the original.

I love both for what they are. Death’s cover is the best cover song ever created, at least in metal, because they did a lot of different things and utilized different singing styles to craft an interesting cover. Priest’s, on the other hand, is a slim and trim, balls to the wall heavy metal song that annihilates most of its competition.

For me, Death’s version is my preferred one, but only just. Both are goddamn classics.
