Thanks for reacting to this band, glad you enjoyed it. Crissy, I meant you should follow Marko's path and sing plus play bass, sorry for the confusion. This is actually a band I know little about (yet, that will change). This was on the RUclips recommended for you list so I tried it and was blown away. As everyone says, "How did I not know about them?" Loved the whole Viking epic vibe. The lyrics seem to be a general celebration of Viking life, but I need to look at them closer to be sure. Always hate to recommend bands that might hurt the algorithm, but this was too good to not share. Great reaction, stay safe, God Bless, keep rockiong.
🇫🇮❤ Glad that you liked it, especially as the female vocalist is a professionally trained opera singer & the 2nd cousin of Nightwish's Tuomas Holopainen. P.S. This is a beautiful ballad by her: Last Time Together - EnkeliNation / Angel Nation - Live Acoustic Version - Elina Siirala ruclips.net/video/VYWsWZkYPcI/видео.html P.S.S. There was no Marco/Marko Hietala on stage & as far as I know, he has never performed with this band.
Wow, one of my favorite bands that should have been much bigger. They were every bit as good as Nightwish and Epica. Vinland saga was a masterpiece. But they had constant line up Change and just didn’t tour enough. The original singer Liv is one of the Godmothers of symphonic metal but married to Alex the growing guy with the sword. And they got Divorced and that was that. It also didn’t help the exact same people are also the members of Atrocity. So neither project gets enough attention. Fun fact the current singer is tuomas’s cousin.
Alan, what the heck were you smoking buddy!? Are you suffering from “cabin fever” or should I say “ bunker fever”. 😂 just kidding of course. Nice suggestion Alan. New one for me but I liked it. You didn’t wake me up when you sent that email, but fell asleep soon after. Hope you get that gig. 🤞
I think the ice storm froze my brain (what little I have left). Never heard of them, they popped up on the recommended list so I clicked on it. Glad I did. Amazing what you find in the middle of the night, but then I have found a lot of cool bands that way. Keep the sub warmed up, never know when the bunker might be overrun.
@@alancarter41 I know what you mean, only slept 4 hours in 2 days. 😮💨 The sub is full of diesel. ( old German U-boot) And full of provisions and ammunition. 🪖🏴☠️
Btw Crissy, I think that Alan was referring to the comment you made in the Epica reaction, were you said that you would love to sing like that. So he hinted, that you should sing, like Marco is a bass player who sings, and you are a bass player so let’s start singing while playing. 😉
love this thank you
Nice to see some of the lesser symphonic metal bands get a hearing, there is a lot of these bands out there.
Very cool song, the chorus has been stuck in my head. Great show too!

Elina is Tuomas's 2nd cousin.
@@tarmotyyri6733 I wonder if she auditioned back in 05
Leaves eyes were one of the original Scandinavian metal bands (theyre from Norway)
I was getting in to it. Going to listen to Froya's Theme here shortly.
Tom
big crush on Elina
