Viking A cappella! VoicePlay's "Valhalla Calling" finally gets analyzed!

Have you figured out yet that I love VoicePlay? I've been saving this one for a while since it came out, and I finally had the chance to tackle "Valhalla Calling" - especially given the original composition is from my good friend Gavin Dunne aka the Miracle of Sound! I am familiar with Assassins Creed, and have seen Kirk playing through this one specifically, but more than anything is the music. I'm excited to see how this composition goes!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to VoicePlay performing "Valhalla Calling" from Assassin's Creed for the first time.

[@miracleofsound]

Great vid, Elizabeth 🙂 Writing a song that so many people want to cover has been a wild, bumpy journey. It has had upsides and also a few downsides; both in the business realm and in the more creative & personal realm. It has at times been a lot for a 100% independent creator to learn about & deal with, lol. But for me the good parts have mostly outweighed the not-so-fun parts, due to the simple joy of having inspired people. My 2020 Nordic folk-inspired original version will always be my favorite as I have such an emotional attachment to it, but the Voiceplay cover was definitely one of the most creative & interesting ones I heard

[@johndeeregreen4592]

So happy to see you react to this. To answer your question, Layne does the sound of the door creaking the foot step sounds. He is amazing with the sounds he can make. They out do themselves every time! I cannot stop watching this, it is amazing!! Geoff hits 3 B0's! Eli has become the Asgardian god of rock, Layne is a beatboxing god, Cesar has become a Berserker, and J None has shown us that rap indeed belongs in acapella! And Miracle of Sound gave this 10 out of 10 raised ale horns!! Great reaction! This from the Assasins Creed Valhalla video game, but that rap is all J None!!

Gotta admit, this is one of my all time favorites of this group, it is absolutely genius and a piece of musical art

Starting from when he came back for "Nothing Else Matters", I have been convinced that J-None's voice has distinctly matured during his time with the military, so far.

[@charlescohen4279]

It definitely has. And just compare his rap here to the one in Superstition!

I don’t think I’ve *ever* heard Elizabeth giggle and laugh so much! That was waaay too much fun to watch.

[@valkyrie1066]

Never heard of VoicePlay but I'm interested! Love this song in all its variations; I love their harmonies. A big fan of Pentatonix too. The Norse reenactor in me likes it rougher, (trilogy) but the musical me appreciates the smoothness of the harmonies. Yes, I'm 63 and I still go camping in the summer "dressed like that" as my parents used to say. I heard if you're not grown up by 50, you don't have to. I'm goin' with it! With any luck, I'll be making armor for my grandchildren......

[@DayneTreader]

Geoff going full Gjallarhorn is definitely my favorite part of this song

[@Fazman009]

The gjallarhorn was used to summon enemies and allies of hiemdall and I’m sure that just how good they are voice play has definitely ruffled a few feathers over the years

[@Pandaemoni]

I am glad to see someone (and many more in the comments) enjoy this version. I was just in a rabbit hole of people who decried it as "inauthentic" so this is a nice palete cleanser. Really, we know that all modern "Viking" is clearly ahistorical...and we do have a roughly contemporary Scandinavian song (from 1300...so a little too late) with musical notation in only one case that I know of (called "Drømde mik en drøm i nat"). It sounds sort of "typically medieval" with no drums, no throat singing, nothing very unusual. Really the question is "Is this a good song" which this take on Valhalla Calling clearly is.

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

The heaven broke not to bring us a cappella goodness, but because VoicePlay made themselves worthy of being picked up by the valkyries to go to Valhalla and sit amongst the Norse gods❤ I'm so glad to see Elizabeth back at it with reacting and analyzing VoicePlay, not to mention giggling over Geoff's low notes (I've missed that specific giggle), and I hope to see some catching up to both VoicePlay and Geoff in the near future 🤞🤞

Voiceplay goes to the next level like a person climbing an endless staircase. They're insane.

[@candilunsford2878]

I absolutely love the creative risks VoicePlay is taking. Tackling some of these songs has really pushed the envelope for them and it shows just what they're capable of individually and as a group. Go back and listen to some of their songs when Eli first started and compare them to now--WOW. They were always great, but here lately they've been adding the exclamation points not just vocally but with set design, arrangement, costuming, etc. And credit to their hidden member Ed Boyer for his mixing genius.

Thank you for getting to this one at last! FYI - The costumes and makeup were essentially the same as for 'My Mother Told Me' - Cesar is wearing the robe that Jose wore in that one, Eli did the backgrounds in Unreal Engine again, the difference was that this was filmed in a VR studio with huge LED screen walls, rather than using 'green screen' - and the studio AC was down, so it was in the 90's during filming!

Geoff down to a B zero several times, Eli blasting that intense rock tenor and stretching his voice way up, Layne extending his vocal percussion, Cesar showing some grit and ability to belt, and J-None rapping. It’s like they figured out what each person’s most badass thing they could pull off and made an arrangement with it all. “Ear Candy” galore, their most intense song and I’m ready run through a wall.

[@user-pv5hk6cz9w]

The best breakdown on the internet that I have heard. It is easy to miss something I. This very complex rendering of the song and to have all the elements picked up, only increases my appreciation of this version. This technical breakdown, along with the personal reaction, normally one or the other, is by far the best on the internet. My history with a cappella is very limited, but this just blows away that history and any previous experiences. Voices become the orchestra. Together, they produce a sound that not only blends through harmonies, but that can sustain the individual grit too, whilst exhibiting personal talent in a perfect group, from the base to the top notes. And then, there are ‘noises’ that compliment the singing voices, which along with the background, costumes and make up are defined and melded in post production to produce nothing short of a masterful epic, that is a masterpiece.

J was chopping along between double and triple time. Chopping is a midwest style of rap that emphasizes speed and clarity of pronunciation. As a Kansas boy I have a preference for the style. I grew up listening to Tech N9ne and his associates, they are the gold standard for choppers. And J is damn good.

Don't know if that's technically possible, but if anyone can pull it off it's these guys!

[@elderblackdragon]

It's an awesome song and arrangement, but did you catch the visual story they told in that video? The main VP members start out in Valhalla with Jay in Midguard. He is shown facing an advancing enemy hoard. Then he joins the rest in Valhalla, and then they all go back to fight the enemy. I think that story is at least as entertaining as the sound and main song.
