Waylander - King of the Fairies (full version)

An instrumental song from Waylander (irish Folk metal band)
I domhan anseo nach bhfuil anseo
(In a world (here) that is not here)
I chnoic draiochta, ag conai go saor
(In a magical mountain, living freely)
Daoine alainn, tuatha de danann
(Beautiful people, tribe of Danu)
Is Ri Na Sidhe
(Exists the King of the Fairies)
Ri, Ri, Ri Na Sidhe
(The King, The King, The King of the Fairies) - Thanks makitaki2006

This is my favorite folk tune, and to hear a folk metal version of it is a dream come true!!

[@pittstopdiva77]

This just brings out the fantasy geek in me...

[@rob666lee]

Yea support waylander buy a T-shirt folks on our Facebook page .new album this year !!

[@ParanormalLight]

Cool new Irish band!! Well done!......"Horslips" though, did this instrumental years ago....they were the ones who started it all... the "first" true Irish rock band that took Irish folk and mixed it with rock

[@PaulZedd]

This is a cover version, though a definitive one. Think "All along the Watchtower" by Hendrix

[@neckreth]

yes this is a cool version of king of the fairies, im working on one myself. keep it up

[@blocparty4life]

This is an awesome version of a beautiful folk traditional...all compliments to Waylander for passing this great tune to a new generation . FYI: I am a great folk lover of both traditional and electrified rock versions.

[@shalapan]

An Rí, an Rí, Rí na Sidhe

[@claudybanks]

Thnaks! Yes, I guess that's right, LOL! I found this through looking up the tune, and what a discovery! I'd like the first album, but not available any more, other than £20 used on Amazon, :o(

[@DutchDarknessWithin]

RI NA SIDHE!!! Waylander for life!

[@remfores12]

increible, impresionante Arriba El Folk......Metallllllllll

Gaelic is a magic language and this one is a magic song :) Long life to Waylander! Greetings from Italy.

[@toobles3]

alot of patience and this music playing for a long time

[@scifiauthor]

Love the mention of the Tuatha De Dannan. Great song. Thanks for posting

[@RuailleBuaille]

Ah legendary song!!! Love this Celtic rock movement, so damn catchy, with drums and electric guitar too :) God bless the genius who thought to mix these two styles together.... Roc ceol Eireannach abú

[@ProletariatPlatypus]

Amazing

[@claudybanks]

God, this SO awesome! Where has this band been all my life?!!!!

[@ktharos6184]

i love it

[@Lynnsays73]

Check out Horslips, the first and best Irish "rock" band. Back in the 1970's they came up with the genre. There are several videos of King of the Faeries by Horslips. Must say that the Long Island banc, Fathom, makes some great Celtic rock. Album titled "Celtic Rocks" has a version of KoF.

[@ancientsundragon2734]

out of all the Celtic folk metal out there, these guys are the ones who aren't posers.

[@doomy08854]

eluveitie aren't also

[@celticmetalwarrior7844]

Neither are Cruachan, Mael Morda, Geasa, nor Primordial.

[@peterlong3927]

Sounds like something a poser would say

[@sidoso9810]

@@doomy08854 a germanic band that plays celtic music is a bit poser

[@CHRIS1974100]

[@NidelstHeMonsTer]

[@Vaeghar]

[@tonuhot]

[@halbarbour7805]

True enough, in fact many Clansmen met their kinsmen on the field at Culloden on the other side.

[@LOAblue]

Cool version

[@Tanzenergise]

celtic and proud.

[@monstersink123]

i like his cause i like rock an irish music so i

[@barrry9]

By the "riverdance" part - I mean the first little bit of the song haha - as there's a song in Riverdance called "King of the Fairies" with that melody played on Uilleann Pipes.

[@Lynnsays73]

KZbin has been a great deal of fun for me. I started out looking for Horslips material. Then I started listening to other groups and found new to me stuff. I love King of the Faires in many of its versions: Waylander, Fathom Band, and Amadeus and of course, Horslips!! Fell in love with Fathom, just pruchased "Celtic rocks". Next purchase the album "Last Battle". Great music

[@nfarr8627]

[@paige040177]

this is awesome! i walked down the aisle to king of the fairies, i wish i knew this version existed then!

[@Hyouretzusan]

THIS IS F*CKING AWESOME!!!

[@NikiNinu]

very good song ;D

[@joesdmf]

try iskald and drudkh and wolfchant thats the kind of folk black metal u need :)

[@alanidlehands]

I remember Waylander. Played a gig with them years ago in the corner house near Lurgan,, hallow'ween night. , the door man wouldn't let me into begin with We used their kit. Hughes and Kettner amps if I remember. I had to leave to play a bit of smooth jazzy fingerstyle somewhere else and from from memory Waylander had an onstage punch-up. Are there any origionals left?

[@armetallica]

nice

[@bealmor1963]

@norrisonthespot it's traditionally played as a slip jig.

[@PsychoticGeek23]

this is amazing! i love it!!!!!

[@rufus566]

@hazzystan I agree that bully tactics were used on Scotland and it was not such a willing venture at first (until James united the crown under Scottish rule) but Ireland was a different story. Read up on the Tudor conquest (or reconquest because of Henry II earlier attempt) of Ireland. Look up the Statutes of Kilkenny and that were enacted after forceful invasion. Read about The flight of the earls, Desmond Rebellions, Nine years war and the plantation system. Take over is a very correct term

[@barrry9]

Interesting cover of a Riverdance song - I always knew the music from that would sound great in metal-form :)

[@Nicko93]

I'm so happy I discovered this band...

[@barrry9]

The SONG is King of the Fairies, not the band :p King of the Fairies is an old Irish folk melody, normally played as what's is called a "Hornpipe" which means a particular set of dance moves are done to it in Irish dancing. But yeah, any heavy metal version of Irish music kicks arse ;=)

[@Bl4cKs0u7]

This version Farkin Rocks, Waylander should come to the land down under to visit all their convict relatives and of course play us some metal

[@BlackFolkAndPiano]

@Kiithknight Tuatha De Danann. enjoy it... and also the first Elvenking album

[@Picany97]

I like Irish Folk and I like Metal. Result: I Love Waylander :)

[@Zynn28]

wow... I love the king of the fairies tune and do quite enjoy my share of metal.... the combination is pretty good too!

[@theperson8275]

So you would like to be killed by disease or gutted by a Saxon?

[@Ouranhost122]

@snowfallzz I think the Union Jack is the flag of Scotland, Ireland and England.

[@kleinerMetaller09]

i love celtic music :D

[@Celtalian]

yeah this is some pretty awesome stuff. its cause of that gosh darn ensiferum and hammerheart that people are into viking but thats also awesome. i suggest you listen to some Otyg. the frontman is from Vintersorg but its very different from Vintersorg. im gonna listen to them now :D otyg that is.

[@joesdmf]

o yes!!! win, have abita inis mona haha how bout korpiklaani, battlelore, finsterforst, equlibrium, elvenking and folkearth ? they r awsome aswell

[@Lynnsays73]

@Godsfire, depending on my mood, I love Fathom band's version and Amadeus's version. (I will admit a bias towards Fathom as I own 3 of their albums) Fathom is simply a great Celtic Rock band!!!

[@corvettkiller666]

BADASS,happy saint pattys all irish kin

[@UTFRG]

Ive been inspired to make a montage of kelt movies

[@pfk859]

@hazzystan Its Scotland and England, but it represents that England has taken over Scotland so actually yes it is English.

[@dnaivnae]

bloo'y awesome song, mate, just bloo'y goo' ma'e me wan'a dan'e 'til i dro'

[@JoshuaLeggans]

Beautiful I was just wondering if Waylander is metal but this is beautifully mastered metal thanks for posting!

[@MxMelmelB]

Yeah, they're Celtic/folk metal! All their songs that I've heard are really cool.

[@craz1d]

This song makes me want to visit Ireland, I love the song King of Fairies and this version is awesome

[@Zalamedas]

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES ONE DESIGN SUCH KNOT?

[@GodsWildfire]

The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered by the Sea of Galilee in the 40's. I'm not sure where they are now, but try Googling it :)

[@Theladrion]

yup, ri menas king and sidhe means "folk of the mound" or fairy = ri na sidhe = king of the fairies.

[@DieMenschMaschine85]

@DieMenschMaschine85: I know it's traditional I just think The Horslips version is probably what inspired them to do it.

[@acerb4566]

Hail Danu!!

[@stonedpilot4]

Waylander..Fuckin brilliant

[@ginny3001]

I'm in love! ♥

[@Fionnuala1969]

metal jig. yes! I'd probably fall over when I try to head-bang and jig, though. I do like this version. I think it's great when different genres of music still go back to the traditional and make it alive for those who might not of otherwise been fortunate enough to be exposed to it. Never heard of Waylander before, but now I'm going to see what else they've done. Thanks!

[@bigscarybear88]

@Mabozarichy123 indeed thats how i found out about waylander you should check out more of their music

[@crankylobster]

holy shit

[@Hammerpewpew]

I love king of the fairies, and this take on the song is fucking marvellous and refreshing. I favorite this

[@chrisroberts8280]

this song makes me wanna run around with a broad sword an slay any thing that moves

[@toobles3]

Jeeze..I was only asking
