[@alea_saltatio]

Thank you so much for the cool reaction. Have a great time an all best

[@JesseJordanTheSuper]

Watched this music video so many times it's ridiculous

[@DTMFreak77]

Top Job, bleibt gesund und viel Erfolg.

[@aaronbarlow4376]

Dude, this is my new favourite song and video. I'm a big AC:Valhalla fan and noticed the similarity as soon as I saw the village. You guys rock!

I was pleasantly surprised when he started singing in Icelandic! Famous old poem from the 10th century by Egill Skallagrímsson who did like to to some slaying when he was not writing poetry. "Það mælti mín móðir" would be the Icelandic title

[@mirgiltkeinscheint]

I think Alea (their singer) said he even had two icelandic teachers, so he could get the pronunciation about as right as he could. The dedication, man.

[@mannistef]

@@mirgiltkeinscheint I would say it was quite good.

Amazing German folk-rock band, lovely people (although I’m Dutch, I love this German guys highly 😉)

[@markusp.6725]

Well, if you like (medieval style) folk music like this, here's a few suggestions: Schandmaul - Tjark Evers Faun - Federkleid In Extremo - Feuertaufe Versengold - Die Namen von Millionen Subway to Sally - Sieben Yes, Germany has a rather large scene for that kind of music :) Also check out Algal the Bard. Dude does accoustic instrumental covers of metal songs with medieval instruments, completely amazing. And maybe something for your D&D sessions.

[@dawsonsydow7756]

Also von Versengold ist ja haut mir kein Stein am besten

[@Andy_from_de]

At the very end (before the jump back to the beginning) there was a recommendation for "Ding" by Feuerschwanz and that is also a must see band from the genre and this song in particular.

[@markusp.6725]

@@Andy_from_de He already did that song 2 weeks ago ;)

[@Andy_from_de]

@@markusp.6725 Oh, thanks. Didn't see it when I checked.

[@bensimon2886]

Oh my gosh. Thank you for this reaction. I'm from Germany and this is one of my favorite bands. I've seen them live a couple of times. Keep up the great work.

[@jannekaanta2884]

This song was in the series Vikings. There is a ton of different versions of this song. 👍❤👍

[@sirduncan459]

It also was in Assassin's Creed Walhalla as if it wasn't popular enough already.

Hey man This poem, Þat mælti mín móðir, was written in approx year 917 by my great great great... (repeat "great" 26 times hehe) grandfather Egill Skallagrímsson. I am his direct descendant 28 generations up. Egill Skallagrímsson was born in Iceland in the year 910 and is the main character in one of the most famous Icelandic Sagas, "Egils saga Skallagrímssonar". He was the son of Skallagrímur Kveldúlfsson, who emigrated from Norway. They settled in the West of Iceland and the farmhouse Borg is where they made their home. The small town of Borgarnes, a stone's throw away bears the name of farmhouse. Egill was quite the character. At the tender age of 7, he was playing sports with the neighbour's kid, Grímur Heggsson that was a strong 11 year old, and Grímur was giving Egill a hard time so Egill just killed him. As you do... haha. That's what vikings do. haha. After this, in stead of giving him a hard time for what he did, his mother told him he would make a fine viking and Egill wrote this poem on that occasion. It should be noted that the Icelandic language has changed very little since that time. Here's Egill's original poem, followed by the modern Icelandic version: Þat mælti mín móðir, at mér skyldi kaupa fley ok fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svá til hafnar hǫggva mann ok annan, Það mælti mín móðir, að mér skyldi kaupa fley og fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svo til hafnar höggva mann og annan, Þorsteinn Kolbeinsson

Apocalpyse Orchestra - the garden of earthly delights is a really cool folkloric metal song with a fascinating story behind it.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

oh no I just finished the other one by AO.... earthly delights will be the next one by them

[@billpeters9999]

One of my favorites

[@evanbowen4221]

Theirs an acapella band called voiceplay who did a cover of this and you should definitely check it out it’s amazing

[@darthshrek1]

This is a band I am quickly falling in love with. For me, the only thing this song lacks is a bit of deathcore pedal work from the drummer.

[@peo4989]

HördyGördy? We call it Nyckelharpa(Keyharp) here in Scandinavia. Old instrument here in the viking land

[@mikem1457]

I watched this last night, wondered how long it was gonna be before you did it... wasn't too shocked to see you post it... and of course had to watch. Love this video and version.

[@LangeloScuro]

Videos like this make me wanna be a Viking when I grow up.

[@tadhggoreyoneill13666]

What you saw at the end was warrior respect

[@brianfuller7691]

AWESOME!! Their cover of We Drink Your Blood is also great.

[@Cwronaga216]

You NEED to check out the classical folk group SKALD especially their music video for "Run" and lyric videos for "Grotti", "Gleipnir" and "Odinn".

[@mynanaleo]

the village looks like Haithabu... so cool

[@salomewild6612]

it's in Alsfeld

[@tazzz1783]

Try also Khanъ, its a bulgarian folkmetal band, we have milleniums old folk culture (for exsample ''The Mystery of the bulgarian voices'' is the only choir in history winning Grammy for Folk music album, and one of our folk songs is flying in space right now with Voyager)

[@melissainge218]

Since you like folk music and you LOOOOVE metal, give “ BlackMoores Night” they will not disappoint you. Lemmy you are missed!

[@christophergros3397]

Just searching thru differs groups and videos and came upon this particular video last night. Thought it was the best version of this song yet. Funny how you decided to react to it the very next day. What are the odds? Love the channel. Keep doing what your doing.

[@sziranyiadam]

Check their Wellerman cover, or their Escimo Callboy Hypa Hypa cover. You’ll love both ;)

[@YTjunkette]

He did a few Hypa Hypa versions about a month ago, including SaMo.

[@bjornkessels5460]

They got way better songs in German

[@dawsonsydow7756]

When you spoke about the Motörhead Paul Levesque part, i was like no way. Damn youre good

[@Dragonius1990]

You Say it right :) Nice Reaction :D

[@Andy_from_de]

Hello, new subscriber here. I hit the sub button after your "could this be the end of the channel" video, and after hearing your thoughtful comments, and the shoutouts to TCV and Tank and others, which I also follow and support, you had a lot of karma points in my book. And as a German, of course I do very much appreciate you reacting to a German band. So, playing by the rules, I give you one (in digits: 1) request to a German band that is special to me, and that is Lord of the Lost, "For they know not what they do". Trust me, you'll love it.

[@opticmidnight2629]

This video for this song is based off Ac Valhalla

[@grimlara9312]

Saltatio Mortis released a new video, The Dragonborns Comes. Would you give a reaction to the song?

[@randalljones4370]

ahhhhh kinda rhythmically similar, but not note for note, as far back as my memory goes.... but hey, there's only so many combos of 1, 2, 3, 4, beats that can be done... pretty sure 4/4 has been done to death, lol. Fun old song, great new imagery, wailing pipes and grinding gurdy... what's not to like? As someone whose voiced pipe organs in the deep dark past, I find the timbre of highland pipes (sans excess drones) and the Reed stops on the pipe organ to be eerily similar. ("not note for note")... it's the hash harmonic content that both have... Packed into the mix of a metal band, they have the sound of a machine of war and the wailing of the combatants, all rolled up into one. Fun stuff. .. Sol-tah-she-oh.

[@dereksandlin8220]

You should check out VoicePlay version of this song

[@bazingawaldgeist6294]

Hey 😉 Cool reaction 😁 I like to watch your reactions ❤️ I subscribed your channel and will watch more stuff from you 😁 Very good work 😄👍 Thanks, take care 😉❤️

[@opticmidnight2629]

Should listen to Wardruna and Aruna Helvagan

[@farin71]

Please react to Saltatio Mortis feat. Lara Loft - The Dragonborn Comes

[@salomewild6612]

this Band is genious...look at Löwenherz from them...it is soooo cool

[@dawsonsydow7756]

Keiner von Millionen is way better in my opinion

[@salomewild6612]

@@dawsonsydow7756 they are both very good, but I prefer the historical touch in Löwenherz more. It has more Medieval in it and thats why I think, it is better to show somebody who is new to Saltatio Morti the spirit of Saltatio Mortis.

[@larryc3860]

this is good, but I prefer the version by Alina Gingertail ( mainly because she DOES play ALL the repro ancient instruments ).....

[@yuurikothedevilish]

You pronouncing the bands name pretty good!

[@wyldcardsam]

It's similar to the game but it's different

[@FallenRingbearer]

Look up Colm McGinnis for a different cover.

[@BERSERKERKINGREVIEWS]

the song became viral famous after Viking the show after king harald (also the name of my bear lol) and his brother sang it in one of the seasons . thats why there are so many covers. . i loved this video but i wish that one of them died at the end . why? because I'm a viking lmao🍺SKAL!!

No, she won't...
