Cover #30: Gravehuffer covers "Inca Roads" by Frank Zappa and "Children Of The Grave" by Black Sabbath (mash-up cover)

 There are a lot of Frank Zappa covers out there (he probably has more dedicated tribute albums than any other artist except maybe The Beatles), and there are quite a few Black Sabbath covers, but a mashup of the two?  I don't think too many people saw that pairing coming. This is really a Sabbath cover with a portion of "Inca Roads" at the beginning and just a quick refrain at the end.

The Sabbath cover is pretty good.  It is a dark and slightly slower version, nice and heavy.  I have a hard time taking the vocals seriously, but at least it's not Cookie Monster vocals- more like Beetlejuice.

The Zappa partial-cover is terrible.  If you have never heard Zappa's "Inca Roads" before, please don't let this influence you.  ✅✅
