Saltatio Mortis feat. Lara Loft - The Dragonborn Comes (From "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim") Reaction

[@BadMoonHorrors]

You're going to have so much fun with the European/ German medieval metal! Lara Loft (aka Lara Trautmann) is a German singer and voice actress, Saltatio Mortis (Latin for Dance Of Death/ Danse Macabre) is one of the better known groups in the subgenre. Their original material is usually in German, sometimes with some Latin or Old Norse added, but like many other bands of the genre, they do covers in English too, like "My Mother Told Me" or even Electric Callboy's Hypa Hypa (by the way, SaMo's version is an absolute treat). For an original check out "Finsterwacht", it's a quite long storytelling video but it has Endlish subtitles. Other tracks you might find interesting: Subway To Sally: Veitztanz (2014 Version) Live feat. Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul, Feuerschwanz, Chris Harms, MajorVoice, Patty Gurdy Subway To Sally was founded in 1992, original version of Veitztanz was on the 2001 album "Herzblut", the 2014 version is an updated/ revised "reboot". This live performance was recorded in 2021. Some of the guests are credited with the band name although only some (or even just one) of the members features. In case of SaMo, singer Alea and both the bagpipe players appear, Schandmaul is a medieval folk rock band founded in 1998 (not all members feature here), Feuerschwanz is a former medieval folk parody band, founded in 2004, now a humorous medieval metal band (vocalist Hauptmann Feuerschwanz is the sole featuring member here), Chris Harms is the singer of the dark rock/ gothic metal band Lord of the Lost (not seen in the video, he was connected via stream as this was filmed during 'that special time'), Major Voice is a goth rock solo artist, Patty Gurdy is a singer and hurdy gurdy player (not singing on this particular song). Schandmaul: Knüppel aus dem Sack (Cudgel from the Sack, referring to a Brothers Grimm fairytale). Alestorm feat. Patty Gurdy: Voyage of the Dead Marauder (Alestorm is a Scottish pirate metal band). dArtagnan feat. Patty Gurdy: Farewell (dArtagnan is a German folk pop/ folk rock band, lead singer & multi instrumentalist Ben Metzner is also in Feuerschwanz, Farewell leans a bit more into the pop side but still has rock elements). dArtagnan: Hey Brother (Avicii cover) Feuerschwanz: Untot im Drachenboot (Undead on the Dragon Boat) original video or official live (from Wacken Open Air), Knochenkarussell (Bone Carousel) official live (studio audio, footage from Rockharz open air), I See Fire (Ed Sheeran / The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug cover), Gimme Gimme Gimme (ABBA cover), Valhalla Calling (Miracle Of Sound cover), Highlander (inspired by the 1986 fantasy-action movie), Dragostea Din Tei (O-Zone cover) Live at Wacken 2022 or at 70000 Tons Of Metal 2023 (the latter one has the studio audio over performance and behind the scenes footage), Blinding Lights (The Weeknd cover), Warriors of the World United (Manowar cover) feat. Thomas Winkler (ex-Gloryhammer, Angus McSix), Saltatio Mortis (represented by vocalist Alea), Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum, you've reacted to their song Fire and Ice). And if you think i'm fanboying over Feuerschwanz... that is exactly what I'm doing here! 🤘

Feuerschwanz means either Fire Tail or Fire Dick and that's intentional, just so you know ;)

Lara is actually a gaming-youtuber

If you love fantasy and D&D then be sure to check out the other works by Saltatio Mortis like My Mother Told Me or Finsterwacht or Pray to the Hunter

❤ In Germany we have many from thies type of bands. I know you would like it.

[@m.behrens5332]

You should definetly have a look to Finsterwacht (good English sub titles) but on 12th Juliy they bring this with the title Darkenguard complet in English!

[@nephilim2582]

Hello from Germany! What I can highly recommend is the best medieval band in Germany, they are called: Faun! A very good song is: Galdera! Greetings Nephilim

[@AntaryDraconis]

Glad you liked it, try more .. Greetings from NW-Army-Germany and SabatonFan (and of course SaltatioMortis 😉 and more)

[@Brainreaver79]

The instrument you are thinking about is called Hurdy Gurdy. (havent watched to the end so i dont know if recall it later.)

[@thomaskentgens7290]

the instrument is a hurly gurly

Just a few weeks ago, I went to the opening of SaMo's castle tour, so I had to sub, just in case you should do more of the suggestions above. Cheers from Germany 🤘

[@xxJOKeR75xx]

The instrument is a Drehleier in German (word for word means Turning Lyre) and it's called Hurdy Gurdy in English. It's become a staple in a couple of German Medieval Bands. You should also look at their other gaming songs My Mother told me (unofficial Assassins Creed Valhalla), Pray to the Hunter (Elder Scrolls online) and their latest Finsterwacht (Das schwarze Auge - the dark eye , a german pen and paper similar to D&D)

If you like this kind of music watch Feuerschwanz "Warriors of the world united" (a very special Manowar cover, featuring Alea from Saltatio Mortis, Thomas Winkler from Gloryhammer and Melissa Bonny): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6OugKKDbLhpo9k
