Skálmöld & Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands - Kvaðning (KnR's First Reaction)

[@Ghaidheal]

The whole concert is joyful. I have been asking reaction channels (not Yourselves) for 3 years to react to this concert. And this is the first time anyone has that I know of. As a metal head and cellioist I can never get enough when the two genres meet up. Thank you thank you thank you. My fav reaction channel by far .

React Skálmöld Og Sinfó - Loki, kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoGqiYyknZ6dn7s from same concert! There is about 250 person on stage, skálmöld, orchestra and 3 choirs !!! Epic song !!

[@rainnmariusingolfsson7877]

Kel, i know you love that! :-)

[@katsee8699]

Yes, please react to Loki, oder Hel, from the same concert! :))

[@simeik]

Love this band! Found them when they were warming up for Eluveitie in Oslo 2015. Amazing music!

[@ΓιωργοςΚανδρης-κ4ρ]

You should see the whole show!!!!it's amazing!!!!skalmold rules!!!!

[@PeturHinrik]

Can you imagine being in a symphony, used to playing to a respectful/quiet crowd, and then hearing these roars of celebration from the crowd. I can only imagine how happy it must make them to appreciated at that kind of level

[@philippebertrand1865]

G.R.E.AT !!! sometimes, smiles and attitude speaks more than the words ! it's one of the best reaction i've never seen so far !! you're so cute !! thanks a lot !! I subscribe right now !! Kiss from France !!

[@pedroteran5885]

Yeeeeeeeeeeees!! I never thought you'd get to do this one but I knew she'd love it!! That whole DVD is gold. A couple of songs from it are Loki and Hél. Loki is long and has a child choir in it. Hél uses the choir and band vocals to great dramatic effect. Both are in YT, and the full DVD too.

[@Mephzice]

Shared your reaction to the band, they enjoy seeing these reaction videos.

[@TheSoberwolf]

I do second those who have recommended Hel or/and Loki and I would ad Baldur to the selection all songs from the same concert. It was a great show I was there. I think that everyone that is feeling a bit down would benefit from watching Jón Geir drum live he looks so happy and it is so contagious happy days and thanks for your reactions :D

[@fendranm2914]

Man, how many times I played this video before I noticed the Animal bobblehead on the drumset. :P

thank you for this reaction Kel - n - Rich

I watched this live show last night again, and was wondering if you did a video yet.. and I watched the whole thing again ... What a musical masterpiece!

[@hlynurbaldursson6786]

You guys should listen to the whole concert in a tv with some serious speakers hooked to it, and just embrace this masterpiece :)

[@axhed]

there is no set of speakers on God's green Earth that can play Hel loudly enough.

[@hlynurbaldursson6786]

Agree 🤘

More Icelandic music! Sólstafir - Fjara (live on KEXP)

Anything Icelandic is awesome. Love this and your reaction. Maybe check out Heilung, not Icelandic but rooted in proto germanic/viking music.

Napalm Records are a metal label here in Europe.

[@car_thief]

Hello, both of you let me let you know something the solo guitarist is my favourite guitar teacher and I love your videos. Keep the good work going. It is awesome. I have found your channel

[@ThorsteinnK]

Hey guys! I'm the dude that took promo copies of the debut album to the Faroe Islands and gave to the TUTL label to have a listen, which obviously worked! This band blew up so fast it wasn't even funny! I also run the Wacken Metal Battle contest for bands where we find an unsigned band in Iceland to send to Wacken, and Skálmöld were thinking about participating and didn't even have to in the end as they got signed shortly after. This performance was after the band had only released 2 studio albums and they were invited by the officially state run Icelandic Symphony Orchestra for a concert, which turned into 3 sold out evenings in a row, each in front of 1600 people.

[@biffie186]

This one was so cool!! Thank you subscriber for reccomend this!. I really love/enjoy viking/pagan music like Wardruna 😍 but this is very interesting!! Thank you so much for uploading this Kel and Rich!👍❤❤❤❤

You are most welcome @StefanSalvatore! What you like about this one? We obviously love it big time! Rich

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Talking about NAPALM RECORDS,the amazing German Band FINSTERFORST (Black Forrest) released their new Album ZERFALL ( Disintegration).This it the official Promotion Video for the Title Track : #FINSTERFORST - Zerfall (Official Video) | Napalm Records : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYK0loNomdGNiKM .... pure EPIC FOLK METAL with amazing Lyrics!

[@bengagnon2894]

The icelandic á is pronounced almost like an 'aw' sound, and the icelandic 'ö' is pronounced almost like the swedish 'ö', the norweigian 'ø', or the french 'eu'. Skálmöld has a lot of good folk songs, starting with their latest album, Sorgir, all the way up to their first album Baldur. Their best songs, for me, would be 'Múspell' and 'Hel' (not to mix with 'hell' from the christian mythology). In the same vibe (scandinavian folk, death-ish), I'd say that there is another great band, not well known outside of Sweden : Månegarm. From the small Føroyar (Faroe islands), with fewer death elements (but just as good), there would also be Týr!

[@prisregil]

Recommend more songs from that same concert such as HEL, Loki, Árás, Gleipnir,,,,, Actually i recommend all of the songs. Pretty much everything they have released is awesome!

[@LordBaldur]

I would not recommend Himinhrjodur. Jesus Christ on an upside down cross that track is fucking terrifying.

[@florisbiezeman3800]

I've seen them live with Alestorm! It was awesome! Also, I can't remember if you already reacted to this, but if not; Sólstafir - Fjara, it's Icelandic too but very emotional and it creates a great atmosphere.

[@steinii164]

listen to the song Hel...you will not regret it

[@snsi2977]

Dont know if you have or not but you guys should listen to skálmölds Baldur

[@KOLFINNAx86]

The way they wirte their songs is Fornyrðislag witch is a form of Alliterative verse en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliterative_verse#Fornyr%C3%B0islag and then you have Sléttubönd, the magic of Sléttubönd is that you are supposed to be able to read them backwards with out loosing the meaning of the poem.

[@royc998]

That was interesting👍 in a good way.

Sounds great... Considering Iceland? I love Sigur Ros more :D It's a must visit if you havent heard ;)

[@gentlemanjester637]

Honestly, every member of this band looks like they're from a different genre of metal. The main singer/guitarist looks like he's from an old-school heavy metal band. Secondary guitarist (with the curly hair) looks like he's from a nu metal band. Bassist looks Viking metal. Third guitarist looks power metal. Drummer is straight out of a thrash band.

[@gumundurnordahl8857]

Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands = The Symphony Orchestra of Iceland.

[@icekiwi9533]

Íslands = Icelandic for Iceland. The title is: Skálmöld & the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra.

[@greaper1976]

if you like the "plugged in sympohies" there's a few shows you should check out... Kiss Symhony, Metallica S&M, Scorpions Acoustica & Doro Classic Diamonds Live. I loved this track when I did my react video to it as well

[@randywhite1724]

Guys, your volume is up so high that any comments you make completely drowns out the music. Also, consider reversing the screens so we get the larger screen for the performers. I’ll go find the link to the video so I can hear the performance.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Really? Hmmm.. When we previewed it, it wasn't like that. As far as the polar screen switch, it just means that I'll have to click and switch during filming which can be annoying to the viewer, but we will certainly give it a shot. Thanks RW. Rich

Hey you two, if you liked that you will like "Equilibrium - Die Prophezeihung"

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

You guys might actually like Amon Amarth, even though they only do the cookie monster style vocals. I know both of you don't care for that style, but the singer for Amon Amarth does it in a way that one can actually hear what he's saying, for the most part. Plus the music is more old-school, Judas Priest/Accept/etc but just tuned way down to sound heavier.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

We may do them soon. Taking a break after a week's worth of stretching ourselves on those vocals. They give me a headache most times and I'm often left with the thought "how about the version with the clear and melodic vocals that don't sound so freaking angry or rage-filled?" But alas, others detest what I like as well and need the extra punch and drama. Kel can handle Slipknot but he has a style that is quite likeable. Most of the other stuff is just not pleasing to our ears. But we press on and give them a whirl in bite sizes! Rich

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

No worries. If you never do them because of the cookie monster vocals, we would understand. They are one of those bands I would consider a 'gateway' band for those kind of vocals because they are a bit more tolerable in that regard and the music is so good it kind of pulls you in.

Well that band almost had me until that idiot started croaking out whatever noise was. No. Just stop. And get a singer in there. Thank you. Otherwise... Love you, Kel and Rich! The above wasn't aimed at you; I just get riled up when a band ruins (or runes?) something that was so promising to start. I'm sure your friend meant well, but that was painful...
