"I've always thought this release was maybe one of THE best tribute CD's I've ever heard.I've seen the AC/DC touring tribute band known as Hells Bells and THAT made me realize that Angus and the gang isn't the most difficult band on the globe to copy.No matter.If you're a true AC/DC fan,you should at least get something out of 'Covered In Black'.Out of the fourteen tracks,I liked Genitorture's "Squealer",Die Krupp's "Shot Down In Flames",Sister Machine Gun's "TNT" and GOdflesh's "For Those About To Rock" the best."

Guess I'm the only one, but I loved it.

"This is the first Cleopatra tribute album I ever heard, and it sent me on a long, strange road into industrial music that I have yet to return from. Some of the greats on this: Highway to Hell, now an EHC standard. Hell's Bells, as only Razed in Black could pull it off. And TNT--dare I say it? I actually prefer the Sister Machine Gun version to the original (please don't hurt me, sir. I'm sorry I disagreed with you.) 16 Volt's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap also feels quite creative, doing a good job of reinventing the song... Most of the other tracks on this album also sound quite pleasing, and although I admit I haven't listened to it in a while, I must say I can't recall a single track on the album that I didn't like."
