    In case you failed to notice, the youth have fallen head-over-heels in love with  Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Kate Bush lately  thanks to the so-called 'Stranger Things bump'. One of the most universally beloved and frequently covered tracks of the 80s, the lead single from Hounds of Love, has long held a special place in the world's of rock and metal, where Bush's dark, brooding, art-pop, bargaining plea with a deity has always felt like it belonged. With this in mind we curated this list of the five best metal and rock covers of Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). Now Anthony Vincent has joined the party, applying a bit of metal magic to the inescapable hit, transforming it into a Killswitch Engage song. 

    Vincent's version definitely does what it says in the title, bringing major The End Of Heartache vibes.  Last year Times Of Grace, the band featuring  Adam Dutkiewicz and Jesse Leach from Killswitch Engage released the album Songs of Loss and Separation.  Watch the video for the song Far From Heavenless below.
