ANCIENT BARDS - THE BIRTH OF EVIL [Official Videoclip]

[@spacemoose200]

One of those rare songs that has the production value of an undergrad assignment but the vocal and playing ability of a band that could sell out entire arenas

[@borstenpinsel]

You mean the video? I've heard 3rd albums of world famous bands that sounded worse in terms of mastering etc. And Daniele is a genius the way he wrote the music and the story, IMHO. For a debut album it's hella strong

[@garyself9475]

Obviously the drummer is an Ancient Bardic wizard that controls the rest of the group with the most powerful of charm spells. By his will, they will be in his band forever. Watch as he weaves his powerful magic 1:04

[@TheOnyxian]

+Gary Self Best comment ever!

[@cromfaeyr6275]

+Gary Self And here i thought I was the only one that noticed the Epic faces he makes every time the camera is on him

[@WingedMaster]

He's looking at the wristwatch thinking "OMG I wonder when this shit is gonna end"

[@danielpaganelli5811]

Great performance of the drummer in 01:28 too... and he plays very well...

[@brucebolduc4568]

lol

[@こうき-f2z]

このボーカルの力強さめっちゃ好き

[@johnpetten8717]

I love how Ancient Bards has evolved over the last few years. The talents of these guys is undeniable. This song is the Birth of Awesomness!

[@FunnyDudeGuy100]

I imagine an epic swordfight between Ice Warrior wielding the Emerald Sword and Sendor wielding the Black Crystal Sword.

[@LuxBellator92]

This vocalist is amazingly beautiful!

[@slesperado]

At first I was like, "This band is going to sound generic like everything else". Then I made it through the first chorus and immediately fell in love with the band! Thank you for uploading this video!

[@joannitaxvi3386]

Sadly every other album after debut sounded generic :)

[@troyroberts5450]

Great Band! Great Sound! Great Voice! Awesome Power! Love it!!!

[@Miyakocchi]

I loved this song so much in high school omg:')💓 still a bop

[@celioazevedoofficial]

The vocalist is lovely

[@Night_Lurker]

This bassist deserves a Grammy by himself. Haha. But like someone else said, the title is too dark for how upbeat this song is

[@SantyWilly]

George Bloodyblitz besides the grammy thing (wich is a very pop price for bullshit like pitbull, justin bieber or britney spears and that kind of shit) i like to say that this is called Power Metal, and yes, is a bit strange to hear power metal without the dragons, fairies, rainbows, swords and elves, this title like "the brid of evil" is like "kids, come around, im going to tell you a horror story... ¡¡before breakfast!!" i mean, COME ON!!! goth looking... power metal sound... progressive middle-solos (wich are quite good btw)... a dark tittle... all of that may only mean that we have heard a new kind of metal :O no but seriously, great band but only for hearing

[@mrosskne]

wym? it's a birthday

[@walkerchino1HD]

esta es la evolución de power metal tradicional ES HERMOSO! continúen nuevas bandas de power de verdad alegran la vida

[@NateFoyAuthor]

Great song, one of my favorites by the band!

[@CastleShield]

What a voice, wonderful!

[@Renwoodpeaches]

Great stuff! Certainly very high quality and no budget!

[@johnkeitcgau4511]

Has got the SERD! 🤘🏻

[@JohnnyDJenkins]

Who's still blown away by this in 2020?

[@terminatedprotocolofficial]

Me.. and damn she's too beautiful

[@seanadler918]

IDK why but I just found out about them today and FUUUUUUUUUUUCK! They are amazing! Crazy powerful vocals, shredding guitar, finger tapping bass, a young Jon Lord on the keyboard and of course that drummer, strong, driving but not overpowering. I listen to everything from Slayer and Death, Blind Guardian and Judas Priest to folk, classical/baroque/romantic to techno/happy hardcore etc. Basically everything if it sounds good. Each one of these people is good enough to build a band around them. Together, they are in such harmony, perfect compliments. it's like Toto (or another supergroup) of power metal. They are also so original. I love Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire, but they borrow, a lot from Vivaldi to Basil Poledouris. 2 of my favourite composers ever but still....

[@irishsidhe1]

May be me... For instance.

[@수돌이형아]

Still in 2021

[@hek7752]

2021 brother lol still a great song

[@cuttlefisch]

Good song, excellent musicians, good singer.

[@Leichenmoor]

A very catchy power metal anthem!

[@dustyyumphrey7172]

They are the greatest bards I've ever heard!!! I feel so bolstered right now!!!

[@SparkShredder]

Sara Squadrani's vocals are so heavenly!!

[@hunterthekitsune9536]

🎶For the king, for the land, for the mountains! For the green valleys where...🎶 Wait, wrong sword song. Jokes aside, this song is great.

[@sighrd]

I just discovered this band and I love this song. I love her voice in particular.

[@trevorpope1913]

Brilliant video and I love the track. What a wonderful voice she has and plenty powerful enough to make the song sound great. Thanks for the posting.

[@TexasJamesC]

Such a powerfull voice, the album concepts great

[@comedyzinc6161]

There is one reason that I keep coming back to this video, and that is Mr. Carichini's hilarious drumface. Whoever edited this video must have something against him because every time he's cut to, it's a moment where he looks like he's trying not to vomit, or has Chloe's iconic expression from the "Lily's Disneyland Surprise" sequel.

[@GiePunkt]

Rhapsody with female vocalist :)

[@ericlueck5838]

And lacking the mangled English from said band.

[@ramasmock3946]

точняк

[@venturalaura987]

i had the same exactly feeling!! It reminds me a mix between emerald sword and rage of the winter. I actually like it anyway ;)

[@KaraokeTisma]

Sweet lord, how many comments am i supposed to read under every symphonic power metal band "tHiS sOuNdS lIkE rHaPsOdY" i can't hear this anymore. Under. Every. Symphonic. Power. Metal. Video.

[@terminatedprotocolofficial]

I thought so too

[@BT2187]

questi ragazzi sono bravissimi...li ho scoperti da poco...meritano più visibilità!!

[@ShadowCrowX]

the chorus sounds so triumphant like you just cut a mountain in half with a sword

[@MalyReyes]

Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽

[@josephkilgore8095]

In Westland one day A stranger appeared His name was Dorus He had a revelation Daltor he met The king of the West And breathlessly told him Sendor has found the magical sword Sendor wants to conquer the world Sendor has found the magical source The black crystal sword It's the beginning of a new war Now that Sendor has got the sword He wants to conquer our whole world It is the birth of evil! He couldn't believe The words Dorus said How could he know 'Bout the bewitched weapon? Now it was the time To reunite the kings Hurry, because Sendor has found the magical sword Sendor wants to conquer the world Sendor has found the magical source The black crystal sword It's the beginning of a new war Now that Sendor has got the sword He wants to conquer our whole world It is the birth of evil! In Westland one day A stranger appeared His name was Dorus He had a revelation Daltor he met The king of the West And breathlessly told him Sendor has found the magical sword Sendor wants to conquer the world Sendor has found the magical source The black crystal sword It's the beginning of a new war Now that Sendor has got the sword He wants to conquer our whole world It is the birth of evil!

[@Beegeezy144]

That Sendor guy sounds like a real jerk, huh?

[@riccardolabelva1881]

For soem reason I keep hearing "It's the beginning of a new world, now that Sendor has got dessert"

[@esotericsquirrel]

Gotta not judge a band by the name or the name of the song next time. This band is good, solid, and awesome that Final Fantasy is included in the themes.

[@everybodydies9193]

Mother of all that's unholy, I am in love with this bassist.

[@FrancescoCasta]

Spero che quei ragazzi suonino ancora insieme. Il livello tecnico strumentale è decisamente sopra la media nazionale e la cantante va benissimo. Francesco, Ravenna.

[@bunimokjh]

this song is strangely addictive, it's weird.

[@eulenspygel1917]

finalmente della musica italiana contemporanea di cui andare orgogliosi...vasco vai a nasconderti!

[@NASCAR_Junk]

Guys, I think Sendor found the sword. Not sure though, I'll need to hear so one more time to be absolutely certain.

[@lightbringer502]

Dorus: "Sendor has found the..." Daltor: "OH MY GOD I get it! You've said it five times now!"

[@borstenpinsel]

​@@lightbringer502great, now we get another Jimmy Fallon skit like the one with don't stop believin... Sendor has found the magical sword Jimmy: oh really, what's his plan with it? Sendor wants to conquer the world Jimmy:.oh no. Is it really that powerful? I wonder what kind of sword? Sendor has found the magical source, the black crystal sword

[@garywaugh4114]

I am not a metal fan but discovered these folks yesterday via INDEGOGO. I am now a fan. (and, yes, I sponsored them - you should too!) Grew up with YES, ELP, etc. Carry on orchestral rock!

[@Tonesz586]

Italian power metal is still the best, no doubts.

[@Tonesz586]

I was damn serious.

[@erebus7306]

I'm sure you are...This is medicore at best :(

[@wannsofea4752]

Agreed♡🤘

[@alipiopio410]

Excelente!.... Greetings from Brazil!

[@marfano]

Seria genial tenerlos en Rock al Parque 2016, Power metal en Colombia.

[@RockHordes]

belle carte de visite... doux pour les yeux et les oreilles...

[@señordeloscuervos]

Im in love with this girl... ♡

[@chadinterrupted]

I personally think that's what makes it so charming to listen to. Especially when it hits that epically awesome chorus. Oh and dat guitar/keyboard/bass/otherguitar solo!!! I'm in love with this song.

[@SparkShredder]

Magical SERD.

[@JustAnotherOne1]

I think its cute

[@demigodof9]

I don't know what I'm more inlove with, the band or the songstress.

[@mathiasgreywolf7282]

Gotta love all these people bashing from their momma's basement. In the words of Alestorm, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN GO START YOUR OWN DAMN BAND!

[@MindDisease]

I did. So, it's shit ;-P

[@strangelette]

Micha.elF Your band is shit? Wow... Keep trying lol

[@hvattiable]

+Mathis Wrenn best part of european power metal is that this actually could be filmed one of the members basement :D

[@Theenragedone]

"Gotta love all these people bashing from their momma's basement" Gotta love it when you defend a band using a tired cliche like " momma's basement." Then throw a temper tantrum in all caps.

[@michaelwoolhiser1439]

Or in Upon a Burning Body's words, 'You can't please everyone so listen up and understand I make music for me and for the people who love it I don't need permission from you And I damn sure ain't your ****ing puppet All I hear is "Walk this way And talk this way, do it just how I say" I won't be criticized for the man I am A word of advice: start your own band'

[@kenrockstheworld]

By far my favorite power metal band of all time, I could listen to theyre only 2 albums on repeat forever

[@witchfynder_finder]

I started listening to this band expecting to get Yet Another Nightwish Ripoff. God DAMN was I happy to be disappointed. This is real power metal!

[@bhamou]

Witchfynder_Finder agreed!

[@TheSilentWalkerz]

Super unique

[@kingeddieofeddington]

Their more like Rhapsody of Fire than Nightwish

[@belrandir]

Right, thanks to random clicking on youtube, I've gotten a new band to love!!! (runs to record store, finds out it's closed) KZbin now, cd in hands tomorrow!!! AWESOME BAND!!!

[@9bm-hb2hpii]

still listening 2023 of Sep hell yeah

[@RainbowDashKiller]

I love the guitar's riffs and the solo ♥

[@mib008]

Oh, I came here for Ancient Beards :(

[@silversunned]

Being a Part of the USA street-Team for these guys is Awesome, These guys manage something with their music that most others would never be able to manage.

[@DanTasticEntertainment]

Cheesy and over the top, and yet I want to throw my fist into the air and join them. How does that work??? the girl's got an amazing voice though.

[@starlightjupiter6192]

Yeh it is cheesy but screw it raise that fist in the air..

[@zeeslag123]

The best power metal is always cheesy and over the top, it is part of what makes it so awesome!

[@gothoxtremo]

never has the prospect of impending doom at the hands of a powerful evil sounded more cheerful

[@Lui_Guitar]

i love it!

[@Mad9977]

wow i really dig that music, awesome female fronted Power Metal😎👍

[@waywardhunter8633]

2:37 when you see the cockroach, and hope it doesn't start flying.

[@Gamer2k4]

Several years ago, someone commented on this video something to the effect of, "The best drummers are the ones who look terrified of their drum sets." Well, this one definitely fits the bill.

[@TheGuitargurumaster]

I fucking love the chorus

[@zacharylandgraf2134]

SENDOR HAS FOUND THE MAAAAGICAL SWERRRRD!!! Oh my gosh, it's glorious! Wizards and magical swerds and dragons. How could anyone be trying to criticize the lyrics as though it were super serious?! This song is fun-as-balls. And it's recorded and produced pretty well, so on top of being fun, it's just plain jammin'!

[@PlanetHell92]

Zachary Landgraf Finally someone who gets it!

[@alexvidakovic]

She has a voice of a country singer LOL :) ... it's a mighty good combination, a country metal!

[@rolandrochat4983]

good group Italian eavy metal

[@mrdobby33]

I agree with u, yes I'm a very huge fan of Tarja's style but there's too many female fronted metal bands copying her style. I really like this vocalist this song rocks! I also like the creativity behind the lyrics to go with it.

[@notmyname33]

0:07, the look on the drummers face.

[@kirisuchino6085]

hahahahaha

[@orokushi5953]

+Eric N He keeps it all the time. :D "wtf is this, wtf is that? where the fk am i and who are those people?" :D

[@TotalyOzzFan]

I can't ;DD i've been laughing so hard at the drummer :DD he looks so scared and confused, like someone cast a spell on him to play drums, but he doesn't actually know how :DD Hahahahaah i love it so much.

[@JP_Wu]

Hahahahahahah X'''D you all made me laugh x'''dd

[@Lealness]

the same than me , when i play

[@JtrainMedia]

The way her voice climbs is ridiculous! Well done!

[@fattesttitsincairo]

How can anyone legitimately dislike this ? Like I understand if someone just goes "eh, I've seen better", but... Actually not liking this song/band ? Like, why ?

[@metallikat05]

Dan Komochi Have to agree. I fell in love with this band from the FIRST NOTE I HEARD. My wife hates it when I listen to them nonstop, but the concept and ideas is just awesome. I love it!

[@CharlieGordonRailfan]

Dan Komochi I agree also, I have heard a lot of their songs and they are awesome musicians, and the singer, well, she is something out of this world.

[@Saddogmancartoons]

Dan Komochi they have no souls

[@justinbuder-lesage4747]

+Dan Komochi Because the singer ruins such good music.

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

+Dan Komochi Because it's bland as fuck. Boring stuff, nothing new here, only new ideas interest me. Bands needs to be unique, not follow in others footsteps. Bands need to take inspiration from multiple sources not just a few that they like. I only become interested if bands manage to give me something I haven't heard before.

[@TheMetalrockerdude]

The guitarist is brilliant. Good stuff mate.

[@rainmaker9300]

Deliciously cheesy, love it :D

[@stormelemental13]

+Hannibal Barca Of course. Everybody loves cheese.

[@joshbeardsley5906]

Oh, you want cheese? Come see me after Gloryhammer lol

[@brettschexneider9393]

+Josh Beardsley but GloryHammer is glorious! Rise of the chaos wizard 10/10 the music video makes it even better LMFAO!

[@joshbeardsley5906]

+Brett schexneider I gave it a perfect 5/7

[@ZicherCZ]

Nothing that wasn't done a hundred times before - but still quite likeable to me. For me, it's thumbs up for the band.

[@GieseMD]

Not being familiar with the band, I wasn't expecting this to be so... happy. But I think I like what I'm hearing anyway.

[@kareljenne3940]

Magnificent voice, huge energy. Like this...

[@spiritofthegrave]

SERD!!

Hijos de Rhapsody....buen trabajo!!!!!!

[@shiningsilence13]

this kinda rules. alot.

[@crowdaddy13]

it rules about as much as that mustache you're sporting, so it would be hard to take your opinions seriously.

[@zacharylandgraf2134]

No, the wizard Sendor rules. He's got the magical swerd.

[@Holydiver7019]

Very good song , speed and melody. fantastic .

[@shieldraven8235]

Disney metal.

Not even dude. Alot of it is influenced by Final Fantasy.

[@Hokeydokey29]

most awesome great work

[@Petheor69]

[@AlkaliDiver2011]

Just epic. I love this song!

[@1upvideo]

wtf 1:05

[@Shezdy]

BEST VOICE!!!!! Nice work all members of the band ... Good song... ;)

[@letthemusicdothetalkingb4438]

Somebody has listened to far too much Rhapsody...

[@serpentmanthys6439]

hhahahahahahhh i agree with u !

[@bytex666]

Guys, this kind of music has been around since the mid-90's and is loved all over the world. It's a bit late to start hating on it now :P

[@IronMan-wz7ti]

music too loud, can't hear her voice clear

[@OnryoKami]

I can hear it just fine. maybe you should see a doctor. you might have a slight loss of hearing.

[@angelonicci3340]

same here.

[@Atrogranian]

I like this volume of music... Don't see a problem.

[@Stilesda]

I got really into this track a long while back and since then I realized that all of the songs I've heard from this band mention some linked events involving the same characters. It is now my conclusion that the songs of the Ancient Bards chronicle the events of the pianist's D&D game. Quite an epic scope this game must've had.

[@Frater_Tyskos]

sounds & looks like a candidate for the eurovision song contest. ridiculous

[@crowdaddy13]

but, they would get beat out by father ted and father dougal's entry called "my lovely horse"......BOOM! I'm an American and came up with that comeback!

[@DracoAdrian23]

Epic, they should get a record deal

[@dancingcat89]

Boring music,excellent singer. She deserves much more better band!

[@812pieman]

Actually I was think the exact opposite, no offence to anyone who thinks differently or any of the members of the band

[@squashedeyeball]

I agree. Not that the music is bad... But it doesn't catch either. Singer is great.

[@HellionPL]

Exellent music boring singer...Try Artrosis "Nazgul" ,this is Polish band but she sings english too.

[@rbeforme]

Wow. I don't think your opinion could get any shittier. What more could you want from the music? Not that you would know what good music sounds like, evidently.

[@lorankelley9407]

Ummm base line; super complicated, well played, guitar both rhythm and lead complex and well played, keyboard was ok, the music was epic and talented, the vocals were on key but bland. no inflection, no range. This band is amazing, this song could not be played by just about ANY mainstream band today. They need a new singer.

[@HKommers]

addicted to this band, will be buying their albums tomorrow. something i've not done in years!

[@jeanlucas15]

SERD

[@jeanlucas15]

Sry

[@thyniki]

Awesome!!!

[@iwantoutnow]

horrible vocals and YES another band that sounds like thousands

[@warchild027]

sounds more plastic than lego

[@danielmolinafernandez4960]

[@stevieastrozombie9982]

Wow what can I say. Just came across these damn rock and metal has been REBORN

[@stuartelliott4685]

One of the best tracks on here, Love how into it the keyboarder is :) . Totally epic costumes and the Italian singer is outrageously hot.

[@JamesWilliams-be2rj]

this is so true lol plus the combo between her light voice and the awesome bass lines is quite.....orgasmic lol

[@LupoSolitario185]

Wow! Two hours passed on youtube searching for some good music ended better than I could have ever expected!!! A band who reminds me of the Rhapsody, and yet so different from them! They are fucking awesome!!!!!!! Keep going on like this!!!! You have another fan from Italy!!!

[@soguitar2251]

Fantastic Band!!! Sacode o vestido!!!
