Wow - Nightwish reference makes this place even cooler. I saw them in concert recently (amazing but sadly no Marko) and one of their support acts were a high energy European metal group called Beast in Black and they have done a decent cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘They don’t care about us’ which chnages the songs point of view in my opinion.
But for a true cover which meets your criteria; ‘Hurt’ by Johnny Cash (covering Nine Inch Nails) - similar delivery maybe but at the same time completely transformed.
I've been fortunate enough to see nightwish through all their iterations, their live performances never disappoint. They are fantastic live. I'm also a Beast in Black fan. Yannis does his own cover on YouTube of "ghost love score" well worth checking out.
Hurts a fantastic track, great choice!

That’s awesome - very jealous of your Nightwish experiences. They are even better live than I expected.
Have heard the Ghost Love Score cover. Very good but not Floor…

Only floor can be floor. Absolutely one of a kind. I'm glad you enjoyed them live, they're such fantastic musicians I feel they should be much more recognised than they are.
