[@SaraSquadrani]

Glad you liked the song! Thanks for the video 😊

[@rjfenix22]

If you like Nightwish and Epica you'll love Delain. Also Ancient Bards are one of my favorite bands. They are rarely reacted by youtubers. Thank you for the reaction.

[@Whatthechuckttv]

Definitely need to do some Delain

[@luisnunes2010]

Female lead singers? Try Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast. Start with black ninja. It's fuuun.

[@zunrael1553]

This needs to happen ASAP

[@TheGottvald]

I prefer Straight to the Heart for a reaction..live ofc :)

[@stevefromlondon4949]

I’m just copying and pasting my previous posts now, lol. More bands with female vocalists: Cellar Darling - Insomnia Ignea - Alexandria Rage of Light - Mechanicals Blackbriar - Cry of a Banshee #JusticeForHunter

[@fdsannie]

I am definitely for Cellar Darling. I really love them!

[@misterlobsterman]

Yes to all of these.

[@metallikat05]

So, you’ve found Ancient Bards. “Through My Veins” is a unique song of theirs. It’s the only one where the male vocals play such a prominent role in the song. All of the rest it’s kind of here and there for effect. That said, this is the only band that I’ve participated in a Kickstarter-like campaign for. I absolutely LOVE them. Next song to listen to would be “The Birth of Evil” or “To the Master of Darkness”, which is the one that had me discover them.

[@dwfavre]

yes! please check out the official video for "To the master of darkness"!!

[@mesiah21]

I am the same metallikat05, they are the only band I participated in the kickstarter for their new album. They are my favorite band, wish I could see them live one day. I do like your choices for next listens. I would personally add the songs "Soulless Child" and "All That is True". Plus I am really loving the new album as well..."Oscurta" and "Titanism" are fantastic songs!

[@metallikat05]

Ryan Luty What’s not to love? When I’m in a good mood, I can’t help but listen to Ancient Bards! I can’t help but be in a good mood when I listen to Ancient Bards. I cannot stress my LOVE enough for this band.

[@GodlessLesbianxo]

one of my favorites is Showdown, i wish they had a proper video for it!

[@gentlemanjester637]

The male vocals have made a return in their latest album, Origine. Specifically in Impious Dystopia, Oscurita, and The Great Divide.

[@Samtastic666]

You should react to Let it Roar - Battle Beast. Noora is one hell of a vocalist!

[@nidhogthenibbler3609]

He's noticed the drummer. It's time for Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun!

[@arashblacky6459]

That's interesting! First also for me . Thank you Mr Rock N Roll and your Patreon 🖤🤘🤘

[@arashblacky6459]

@@MrRockNRollLive I love you man and your reactions for me they are the best and I'm so glad my little support can help you 🖤🖤

[@matiask7633]

The bass player in this is Martino Garattoni, who also plays for Ne Obliviscaris. You should react to their stuff! I would recommend And Plaque Flowers the Kaleidoscope or Forget Not

[@DanioPL1232]

If you liked Through My Veins try Impious Dystopia from them. It is from their latest album which is their best album in my opinion

[@TheAnriii]

Great that someone suggested them. In my opinion best band of this decade, 4 fantastic albums. And Sara is my favourite female singer after Floor, very unique and powerful voice

[@orlathemming8689]

I think Ancient Bards are one the highly underrated symphonic metal bands out there, they are amazing and have their very own style, this is no Nigthwish, Epica or anthing comparable. It is 100% their own. Love it

[@SorenBray666]

Dude I’m so happy to see this. They’re from Italy, they currently have 4 albums out: The Alliance of the Kings, Souless Child, A new Dawn Ending, and Origine. In that order. each of their albums is like a book, where each song is a chapter in a continuous story. Origine is actually the prequel to the first album and was released earlier this year. Seriously, look into them more. This is just the tip of the iceberg, sir! Also, check out allthingssara.com. It’s the lead singers blog, where she dives into the stories in the songs in extreme detail. Even with artwork of the characters.

[@NewAeonWarlord]

Didn't know them either. Cool stuff :) also about drummers....... check out Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation and think about how many calories this guy burns during a concert :P

[@JrnSkjringrud]

Now i think you soon must find Amaranthe. With singer Elize Ryd. I can recomend you.

[@lagginya7405]

@@MrRockNRollLive Amaranthe is amazing. I'm sure you hear the same recommendation said about every single band but Elize Ryd is a major talent. She's featured in awesome songs from bands and artists like Dragonland, Kamelot, and Timo Tolkki. She has toured with Nightwish for a while and even had to replace Anette Olzon for health reasons for a few shows with the lead singer of Arch Enemy. You can find her cover of Nightwish's Nemo which I think was her audition for the band following Olzon's departure. You just can't go wrong with Amaranthe and Elize Ryd. Also, keep up the great work!

[@bararobberbaron859]

I saw Evergrey and Amaranthe open for Kamelot in Paris.. That was a good night. It's rare to feel you underpaid for a concert before the headliners even show up ;)

[@lagginya7405]

@@bararobberbaron859 That sounds awesome!

[@vlad-ovidiuadam6489]

@@MrRockNRollLive Elize also filled in for Nightwish' s second lead singer(Annette)alongside Alissa Gluz several years back when Annette was rushed to the hospital. Tuomas and Troy went on stage beforehand and told the public the situation. It was either cancel the show or have those two fill in. Of course the public gave a resounding yes.

[@Atlan0815]

@@MrRockNRollLive And after that some Lacuna Coil, Delain and Within Temptation

[@_Frosty.1]

Thanks for reacting to this, i love it

[@Thnielsen85]

Ancient Bards are great! Sara is one of the hottest girls in metal and she's got a great voice!

[@fdsannie]

I liked the song. She has great vocals. I am not a big fan of harsh vocals, but they do not use them a whole lot. Great guitar solo! Thanks for sharing! Great reaction as usual!

[@SantaCaracola]

Yes yes yes!! This is a great one!! 🙌❤️

[@christomashofski9160]

Ancient Bards is another excellent band that I, too, have only recently discovered within the last several months. I have screened through their entire back discography that I missed and have reached the firm conclusion that they are cut from the same cloth as the other well-known greats of symphonic metal such as Nightwish, Epica, et. al. Great to share these experiences of new band discoveries with other like-minded folks!

[@Neocoolzero]

My friend, do I have a good sugestion to you! This is old by now, but if you still havent heard about Batmetal, do yourself a favour and react to that. It's such an insane and joyfull experience, and wanna know what's the best? There's 3 songs like that! It's basically a sick animation of Batman doing a metal show with his m8's, you will laugh your ass off.

[@draagnipur8767]

Like female lead singers? Try: - Xandria - Nightfall (some night when I discoverd it (and was drunk) I listen to that 20-30 times in the row) - Leaves` Eyes - Hell to the Heaven - with old gothic metal star, Liv Kristine And of course rest of Nightwish and Epica with the addition of After Forever. For male black metal check Dimmu Borgir "Mourning palace" from Wacken.

[@MrValium100]

Italian pride. Sara has an incredible voice.

[@johanblom3591]

One word "Månegarm".... ;) ..... ! Hordes Of Hel ...Nattväsen......Helvors Arv.......Blot......! Another must react is of course :) In Flames - When The World Explodes (ft. Emilia Feldt) ....it´s just magic...!

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I love the choral element! If you listen to the album version of "Shudder Before the Beautiful," you can hear a choral element there too, Mr. Rock N Roll. But this is a good song, I daresay. Guitar work is really good too.

[@MatthewP-Gr]

Juicy and powerful !!!! Nice done !

[@TheStefan6969]

🤘❤️🤘

[@TheFireflasch]

damn, didn't know that band, gotta listen to all their songs now

[@libertyprime9900]

Oh Ancient Bards, nice! This is probably their best song, although the first album is great too, just listen to Only the Brave. Also it would be the perfect time to introduce you to Rhapsody, the band which inspired Ancient Bards. They reached legendary status years ago. I recommend starting with Unholy Warcry and Dawn of Victory :)

[@SantaCaracola]

I can recommend Du Hast from Rammstein live in Paris! Is Extraordinary 💪

[@rjfenix22]

The bassist mainly does the growling vocals.

[@tariqaslam494]

These guys are from Italy! Frickin awesome band! Try "A Greater Purpose" from these guys for more nonstop drumming, crazy solos, including a bass solo! You will love it bro!

[@cdaniell30]

No idea who's growling, but that drummer is GROOVY

[@Dethian666]

there's some modern bands modern metal songs that are so underated this is one of them good to have some apreciation

[@mesiah21]

Awesome you did Ancient Bards! I had just recommended them in one of your latest videos as well. If you want to try more of them, go with the song Impious Dystopia. It is on their newest album, and Sara's voice has gotten better and better over time!

[@MatiiGalarza]

The link to the original video is wrong. Great video man, didnt know this band! Really cool!

[@androgmey]

So glad I clicked on this video! Awesome song!!! Exactly why I love your channel dude :) 🤘

[@EllenM1967]

This is my favorite song of them! She has a great voice.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

And about metal drummers: On Nightwish's documentary "Please Learn the Setlist in 48 Hours," there is a fact that we now know: Drummers burn as much energy in 2 hours that a manual laborer burns in 8 hours. Frackin' crazy!

[@metalloverjames215]

Others have said, and I'll agree, for drumming... Wintersun , Sons Of Winter And Stars...sonic pump studios. Kai Hahto (also in Nightwish) is a beast in this song!

[@tomnostraofficial]

Dääm....Italic Power metal get´s me every time!!!!! And I´m from Finland...

[@aubreyfaz]

If you liked this song, also check out by Ancient Bards, To the master of Darkness, Soulless Child and Gates of Noland!! Sooooo good!

[@Tauros81]

Here's another female fronted band you should check: Kobra and the Lotus

[@gentlemanjester637]

Alrighty, *STORY TIME!* The first three albums of Ancient Bards (The Alliance of the Kings, Soulless Child, and A New Dawn Ending) follow the story of four heroes as they try to prevent war in Lastworld. King Rahed, King Daltor, Queen Shena, and Dorus learn that Sandor, the dark wizard, has come into possession of the Black Crystal Sword. The Sword is an artefact of immense power and has been kept hidden, only accessible by presenting each King's weapon before it. They travel together to the Dark Cave, where the Sword was hidden, to confirm what Dorus claims. When they arrive, they're accosted by a Black Dragon: one of the two assigned to guard the Sword. Daltor, famed for being a dragonhunter, battles the beast with his Silver Sword, but he loses his weapon and is carried away by the Dragon, which is under the control of Sandor's magic. The remaining three heroes, believing Daltor to be dead, take his sword and continue through the Dark Cave where they discover that, indeed, the chest containing the Black Crystal Sword is missing. So now, they must journey to the heart of the Dead Sea, to Sandor's fortress, to retrieve the Sword and defeat Sandor. It's here that we learn more about Shena and Sandor. Once upon a time, they were lovers, and even had a child together. Their love was forbidden, since he was not one of her kind, and they were overjoyed that their child might convince their people to allow their relationship. Unfortunately, the baby dies of sickness, and the pair never truly recover. Shena manages to pull herself together enough to become the Princess she was, and eventually the Queen she is, but Sandor devovles further and further into madness. He believes that with Shena's help, they can resurrect their child, although Shena knows that there would be no way to bring back his soul, even with the Black Crystal Sword. Now, when they arrive in front of Sandor, he reveals that Dorus, the boy who'd been travelling alongside them this whole time, is his son, resurrected but with no soul. It explains the familiarity Shena felt towards him, as much as he's changed. When Rahed and Shena approach Sandor to do battle, they forget a crucial fact: they're holding the Four Weapons of the Four Kings, and this causes the sacred chest to snap open. Sandor grabs the Black Crystal Sword, and becomes infinitely more powerful. He strikes down Rahed and Shena, feeling the power of the sword course through his veins. He tries again and again to return Dorus' soul to his body, but in vain. Finally, his mind snaps, and he descends into complete madness. Before he can kill Rahed or Shena, however, a window shatters, and Daltor returns! He had managed to clear Sandor's influence from the Black Dragon, and ride it to Sandor's fortress. While taking his Silver Sword once again, Daltor recalls his own past. Specifically, his father. Out hunting one day, he had an argument with his father, and so had run away. When he returned home, he returned to the sight of his father's corpse, hanging by a noose from the ceiling. His whole life, he'd blamed himself for that, and had carried it like a brand inside him. Now, he remembers the words his father had said to him just before their final hunt together, and they make sense: "Every fighter knows that he's stronger when there's just peace to rule his mind." On top of that, Sandor reveals that it was him who drove Daltor's father to kill himself, ealous that Daltor's father should have a family and he shouldn't. As the two combatants prepare to face each other, Rahed gathers the remaining three weapons and directs them towards Daltor's Silver Sword, infusing it with the power and making it a match for the Black Crystal Sword. Daltor and Sandor battle, each avoiding the other's blades until, finally, the blades clash. The Black Crystal Sword shatters, and Daltor stabs Sandor throught he heart. As he is impaled, Sandor's expression changes from hatred and madness to one of peace and calm, as the darkness finally leaves him. Daltor carries the two corpses on his back, while he, Shena, and Rahed escape the crumbling ruin. They bury Dorus and Sandor in a peaceful place, then return the shattered fragments of the Black Crystal Sword to the Dark Cave. While there, however, Rahed realises that the shards are not black, but white. Furthermore, while sleeping, a vision of Daltor's father appears to him, and says that in destroying the Black Crystal Sword, an ancient evil has been awakened and unleashed on the world. The story is far from over... -------
