Various artists have covered the song, including Soundgarden, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Sleep, Dr. Know, Cavity, Exhorder, Thou,[1] Lumsk, Dimmi Argus[2] and Orange Goblin. [citation needed]

In Soundgarden's version, the original lyrics are replaced by words of protest by Chief Seattle, which fit the metre of the song.[4] At the 35th Annual Grammy Awards, the appropriately renamed "Into the Void (Sealth)" received a nomination for Best Metal Performance.[5]
