[@reikatsukiyomi5926]

Geoff is a perfect blend of sophistry and brutality, unloved and abandoned, a foundling child born to reign. Geoff has seen the darkness of human nature and found it wanting, with death in his shadow and war in his blood. He eats, sleeps, and breathes war, bathing in the blood of those who defy him. His voice is a weapon he wields to annihilate his foes and woo his beloveds. He is well-known for his abilities. Beware this foundling child, for death follows him. Eli is young in body but old in soul. He is a tribal Wiseman who keeps to the traditional customs while reinventing them to suit his purposes. He is noted for his ambition and cunning. Be wary of his thoughts and unpredictable nature since it is his most powerful weapon. Jose is a nomadic nomad with a secret and an extraordinary ability to gather information. He appears kind and innocent, but don't be fooled by his appearance. Behind his beautiful smile and within his gaze is something evil. J is a young warrior from a far-flung northern tribe. Second in line to the throne and wishing the best for his people, he travels by boat to the flat planes in search of merchants and other Viking clans with whom he may trade commodities in the hopes of forging alliances for his tribe. Straightforward and honest, but with a strong intuitive and keen senses. Layne is the last of a long-lost clan from an ancient land across the sea. He goes from land to land and village to village, resigned to his fate and lost in his ways, looking for vestiges of his clan. His talent lies in mimicry and deceit.

[@lordofthegames6601]

Or a video game, games like assassin’s creed or the god of war games

[@IRONDEVILPORTLANDCITYBOXING]

FUN FACT ABOUT THIS SONG it's actually a poem that originated from a young boy that killed his first person. He was in such shock about what he's done and his mother was very proud of him. when he was 10 and his mother was proud of him telling him that in stead of putting him under house arrest, the village should buy him a Viking raiding ship right then and there and send him out to show them how its done. So the song explains that since he killed a man (hue many foe-men), he'd grow up as a warrior within the shieldwall with his brothers and sisters in arms. He'd saild to distant shores on his galley, which is a type of boat/ship used at that time. "WHAT IS BETTER - TO BE BORN GOOD OR TO OVERCOME YOUR EVIL NATURE THROUGH GREAT EFFORT" " ANOTHER WAY TO SAY IT, "TO BE BORN GOOD AND RESIST THE ALLURE OF EVIL OR TO USE EVIL FOR THE GREATER GOOD?"

[@Kherian4393]

The original text in Icelandic is: 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 höggva mann ok annan. It's a form of Norse poem attributed to Egill Skallgrímsson, who was likely born in 910 AD in Iceland, although the exact year is unknown. It is said he he composed it after slaying his first man at the age of 7, but i'm guessing there may be some slight exaggeration there :) The poem is then recorded by Snorri Sturluson in "Egils Saga", but the oldest surviving manuscripts are from the 1700's. We'll likely never know the true facts, but it is very cool to see and hear my heritage being sung by this amazing group. Well done Voiceplay.

[@Taostbrotesserin]

How do you pronounce the first letter that looks like a P? I have an Icelandic song in my playlist starts with it as well. Sounds like an English th but i could be wrong 🤔. My phone placed it behind the Z-songs alphabetical wise

VoicePlay and Geoff usually have good subtitling, it's something they have gotten better at over the years as they have some family members with hearing loss, so they know how important it is to some people. 🙂 Geoff has made a video about his wife's hearing loss on his solo channel.

This is what I wanted Pentatonix to be. I mean, no hate on them, They've inspired a lot of people to follow in their wake, but I always feel like they over-sing the songs they cover, and a lot pf people like that so keep on keeping on... They're doing fine without my fandom, and I don't want to be that one voice of dissent in a thousand that is the only one that gets heard. As an artist, it's always the negative that stands out, even when it's the minority. But this... This is how I want it to sound. This is what does it for me. So well done. Thank you.

With all due respect to Van Canto, this is the most metal acapella song you will ever hear. As is always the case with Voiceplay, everyone knocks it out of the park, but Eli and Geoff are unreal.
