the Seid Kona. Cuz of this "En er hon kom um kveldit ok sá maðr, er móti henni var sendr, þá var hon svá búin, at hon hafði yfir sér tuglamöttul blán, ok var settr steinum allt í skaut ofan. Hon hafði á hálsi sér glertölur, lambskinnskofra svartan á höfði ok við innan kattarskinn hvít. Ok hon hafði staf í hendi, ok var á knappr. Hann var búinn með messingu ok settr steinum ofan um knappinn. Hon hafði um sik hnjóskulinda, ok var þar á skjóðupungr mikill, ok varðveitti hon þar í töfr sín, þau er hon þurfti til fróðleiks at hafa. Hon hafði á fótum kálfskinnsskúa loðna ok í þvengi langa ok á tinknappar miklir á endunum. Hon hafði á höndum sér kattskinnsglófa, ok váru hvítir innan ok loðnir."

Please tell me there's a chance of us getting Old Norse and folk metal covers in the future. I need more of this in my life

[@Fridrik-]

Look up the bands Týr and Skálmöld

[@RichyN25]

this is in old norse, and he already did it normally in old norse

[@CC-iu7sq]

Honestly not really enjoying the metal/rock version of Colm. I followed bc of the Folk music. Quickly being turned away from him….

[@nyjahkingston2098]

@@CC-iu7sq you can’t expect to like everything from a creator, I’m sure he’ll mix things up and have a bit of both and maybe more. This shouldn’t be enough to turn you off his content completely

[@Techno_Idioto]

@@CC-iu7sq Music creators will experiment and explore many mediums, especially when they have the vocal range and skills to do what Colm can do. If you don't like it, just don't listen to it. There's no need to just bash something just because someone wants to explore their talents.

[@thomasmacbeath6517]

So Colm can scream now too. The man has no limits to his voice... What's next, is he going to admit to us that he also beatboxes. Amazing version of the song and expression of talent.

[@LincMinecrafter]

You have given him ideas

[@RosheenQuynh]

Oh Lord 🤣

[@mungolockhart3875]

Colm having good technique in a wide range for vocal areas probably makes learning other parts a lot easier. Beatboxing would definitely be a lot different but I bet he could learn it really fast having good control already.

[@MegaKat]

To play devil's advocate, I didn't know I could scream until I was about 25-27. I even did 4 years of varsity marching band, wrestling, and cross country. Didn't know I could actually, genuine get that bass in my voice until I had 2-3 kids. Now I practice thrash and black metal with my husband to keep him on key. I don't have the best voice ever, but it is a voice that's on key. 4 years of marching band, 6 years of all county, and 2 years of all state gave me a great ear, just not a horribly pleasant voice.

[@jackzed2020]

"I am an expert in beatboxing" "since when?" "since yesterday"

Seems he’s not so Colm anymore

[@AdamAVFC90]

Colm and Peyton Parrish is the duo we need on some Viking songs

[@wowguy1243]

the world would be thrown back into the viking age

100% someone get these men in touch

YEEEES!

[@loopie7364]

Hell yeah this duo would bring the Vikings back to life again!!!

[@galeluckey3516]

It would be epic

[@BrassSpectacles]

Okay I was wondering if I heard a hurdy-gurdy and then I saw it and yes. I cannot express the yes. Everything about this song is beyond perfect, from the vocals to the instruments. Colm is a modern bard capable of anything and I love it.

[@iciclecold2991]

Skald. The Norse term is skald

[@AdorkableArtist92]

The more I listen to your music, the more convinced I am that you can sing literally anything. Your range, showmanship, and ability to cross genres with ease are amazing skills.

[@E5T7063N]

One of Loki's nicknames was "fire hair". I can't help but feel but he's somehow channeled in the screams of this song. Freaking AWESOME rendition of this song!! Gave me the chills!

[@sbskinner369]

Oh my gosh!! I'm already getting chills. This is going to be incredibly epic!

[@Jacobgrimoire]

FUCK YEAH THAT WAS EPIC!!! WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!!

[@Emend11]

2:07 caught me off guard so badly 😆. What an incredible moment that was!

[@inferno7076]

Still listen to your old norse cover on a daily basis and I really can't wait for this one. Gotta admit, I never really listened to a lot of metal so I'm just getting into this genre but the combination sounds great:)

[@dragonsbarinttv]

I have been listening to this on repeat since the premier, and I have to say, this song is powerful and already one of my favorites. Thank you Colm for making such amazing and breathtaking music for others to enjoy.

After your last Celtic Rock video, I am looking forward to this one. I was always interested how one of you Bass-singers fit in the Metal-context. Cant wait for tomorrow 🤘

Just watched the video and I have nothing much to add besides that it was even more epic than I hoped for. You almost convinced me, that it is going to be a slow version with a heavy groove to it... When album? 😆

[@anastasianorthern2925]

this version is so-so norse-epic that it couldn't be spoken! music is incredible, voice and all it's changes are gourgeous - and visuals, icluding makeup, are just amazing. thank you for this art, it was all i needed tonight.

[@blazesaviik5878]

I'm late to commenting but..........................wow. This is my favorite style of this song by far. I was very surprised when you shifted from the clean vocals to the screaming lyrics. I was taken aback by the transformation of your makeup as well. Showed the intensity of metal in a wonderful display. Awesome as usual!

[@Joos2000]

My mother told me, that many versions of this song I shall listen to, As I don my headphones, judgement I shall pass, I close my eyes to feel more hairs rise on my arms, This version slays the most, head rolls one by one, rolling one by one.

[@Vanetya]

People : How far your voice can go ? Colm Mc Guiness : F*CK YES

[@RachelHardy]

Coooolm please sign my pillaging ax

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Raytchel, please inscribe my historically inaccurate Viking helmet

[@BiohazardBunney]

So Colm can metal scream effectively? Not surprised in the slightest 🤘

[@telkhine_4067]

My testosterone doubled by the end of this video

[@swindle9695]

This cover and the Gingertail one have to be my absolute favorite versions of this song! 🤘

[@HeartlessDragon25]

Like if Atreus from God of War grew up, listened to one metal song and said... I'll create my own Ragnarok... with my voice.

[@Vanziethel]

SO EXCITED!

[@joshuaraine5383]

The Hurdy Gurdy is now a new obsession of mine!

[@alexkid183]

The part starting around 2 minutes goes SO. HARD. The makeup design change was sick too! You need to do more stuff like this!!

[@ellamoore3522]

Wow! That was incredible! I was not expecting that! Awesome Job, Colm!👍🏾👍🏾

[@TheRealSkeletor]

The pronunciation is a bit off with a couple of the words, particularly in the vowels (which is understandable if you're not a native speaker of the language), but all in all, good effort!

[@frostbyte-gaming2134]

To be fair. I can’t speak Norse worth jack shit. But I know what hes saying because song lyrics lol. Also, the voice is perfection.

[@The-Arctic-Circle]

Technically this song is Old Norse, which is now called Icelandic... (Sorry to be that guy)

[@The-Arctic-Circle]

Im learning Norweigian, and right off the bat, the Norwegian word for mother is "Moren" and in this song mother is "modir" (Dont know if that is spelled correctly but it is what it spunds like)

I somehow haven't gotten around to listening to this one until now, which is odd because metal is my favorite genre, and all I can say is HOLY SHIT MAN THAT WAS GLORIOUS!!! I never new you could metal scream with that level of intensity!!

[@hirosavagee]

It will be epic when you see Colm uploaded a new video

[@Robdoggierob]

Your metal covers are by far some of your best work. That's saying something too because the other stuff is epic as hell to begin with.

[@tacotaco9246]

Oh my days amazing as always. Love it Colm!

Вау, вышло потрясающе. Не думала, что можно так органично совместить фолк и метал

I am not usually into anything screamy, but it's hard not to like it when it's Colm. Well done, lad.

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

I wish I could have liked this multiple times, both for the hurdy gurdy playing AND the norse metal singing. I think this next album drop might be the most epic yet.

Iconic performance! Took my breath away!

not me missing the premiere by 8 minutes, lol goddamit. but when you said viking metal last week, I was beyond hoping it'd be for this song. but in old norse? complete mad lad! and we love to see it. absolutely insane. 12/10. another one to add to the repeat spotify history!!
