Looking for mellow covers of heavier music (lemmy.world)

A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.

I'm wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I'm working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.

The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I've had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don't really know a lot more like this.

Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?

Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy

Ramin Djwadi's arrangements of various rock standards for the Westworld TV

Including ~~Black Sabbath's~~ the Rolling Stones' Paint It Black, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iZ9JRVmJ5o

That Paint It Black cover was very cinematic, maybe not so mellow but I really liked it anyway. I haven't seen Westworld at all but I can imagine a scene with a song like this in would be amazing! Is it worth watching?

The first 2 seasons are. I didn't care for the third.
