Great reaction, Mortius-yeah, Ekaterina needs to definitely make more appearances with acapella groups when possible. I’d also pay to see an opera she’s in. She’s stunning.
Mortius x TBG’s relationship is so wholesome, always look forward to these reactions from you! ❤ Ekaterina was ofc stunning, I was mesmerized the whole time!! Big fan
great reaction!! so glad you watched it twice. at the beginning you see as dragon fly right to left. you see him flying in the background several times. her movements, particularly with her arms being shadowed look to me as representing the flying dragon. her arm movements both shadowed or not give the whole piece movement/motion.
I am told (because I have no idea myself) that the rune with the up arrow, the "B" and "X" looking things stand for "The Bass Gang". Ekatarina was the winner of a talent show--I can't remember which country, but a "X Country's Got Talent" type show. She is a opera singer and is a friend of Peter's (or at least that's what I understand). Her first name is pronounced Ee (like "EEK") Cat (like a kitty cat), uh (like the first syllable in onion) reen (like green) uh.
The sort of song that leaves your jaw dropped. This just rocketed to the top of my favorite TBG song, and one of my favorite acapella songs EVER. You're right, there's acapella that crosses over the threshold of listening to it for vocal fascination and enters into the realm of "I'd listen to this at the gym"... or in this case, while playing D&D or larping.
I haven't watched the reaction itself yet (really looking forward to it though!), but now you have to watch Colm McGuinness's covers (yes, plural) of it! He has an English version and a Norse version!
This song and video is super hyper incredible masterpiece, I have watched it already many times but still it makes me goosebumps over and over again. And Mortius your reaction gives me much and much joy, love your videos.
Bless you, semi-Speechless Mortius with mouth ganging open 😅😅😅😅 If you like haunting voices check out Eivor's song Trollabundin, not acapella but very very unusual.....
Ekaterina was twenty-one when she starred on Italy's Got Talent. She did a song similar to this. would love to see u do a reaction to it. She needs so much more recognision than she gets right now.
The Bass Gang is one of my favourites, and I've been following Ekaterina for awhile, so I was stoked to see this collab. You really should check out another Canadian female singer that is incredibe. Faouzia. She's 23 and writes most of her own songs. Her most recent video is amazing, Fur Elise (live performance. Lots for you to pick out in vocal technique.
you have been my introduction to bass gang. thank you. secondly dan vasc his latest video "my heart will go on" cover of celine (titanic). i always knew something was missing in this song and it was dan vasc isn't in it. now metal singer sings metal my heart will go on. he also has nessun dorma, sound of silience, kiss from a rose (which ptx released on )their 2023 xmas album. ptx now is not the ptx you knew. perhaps a double reaction. to hear dan sing at the opposite side of the spectrum try music of the night from phantom. on a personal level you, mortius, watch his cover of pour some sugar on me. a def leppard cover
Just here to watch Mason try to make a coherent video out of Mortius slowly losing his mind 😂 But in all seriousness, great work both of you! This was such a treat to watch. GIMME MORE!
Elaterina's voice reminds me alot of Eivør Pálsdóttir. She'd be worth checking outnif you lole that kind of sound. Her song Trøllabundin is a good display of her vocals, as is her live peformace of The Last Kingdom theme.
This is a really awesome version of this song!! They blew this one out of the park. It is going to break you for sure. I love your reaction to this one Mortius. This is the link to Ekatrina's RUclips channel ruclips.net/user/Shelehova
They have layerd the voices. When there are multiple of the same faces, they probably were filmed singing the several parts. I think that the editor wanted to create the same multi layered audio and video als you would see in the Peter Hollens RUclipsvideo's only this format looks messier, but that might be the intention to make the video look more organic and not stylized.
Fantastic arrangement, awesome performance, superb video, delightful reaction, and pitch-perfect additions from Mason. What more could anyone want? Oh, and Ekaterina joins my "Acapella Hotness" list alongside Peter, Tim, and Rachel Potter. (Note this is purely aesthetic hotness, I'm demisexual. Just to be clear.)
When are you going to check out Dan Vasc s new true masterpiece you can’t ignore this he got 156 thousand views in just two days the internet has exploded with this cover my heart will go on from the Titanic best cover of this song hands down and this is the truth please don’t stall thank you my friend
The song is absolutly fantastic. I do have a point of critisism, their makeup looks like they found mommy's eyeliner and started playing with it. I know this was Viking (the show) inspired. But this look like a cheap copy of the make up done by Voiceplay in Walhalla calling. I assume that that is a coincedence. The TBX easter-eggs werent so much easter eggs. To "in your face" ...litteraly the only subtle easter egg worthy one was the one on the side of the scalp. I think if they had toned down on how many runes (and TBX markings) they had on their face and hands, it would be more classy. The girl's make up and voice for that matter were absolutly superb. She is born in Russia, and some some of her techniques are also used in the asian parts of Russia in their folk music.
Here’s how to break this down. The Bass Gang will rip your heart out with sword and axe. Ekaterina just smiles “I don’t need any of that.” Ekatarina solo… ruclips.net/video/tegev08KyHY/видео.htmlsi=_E6Pd2xTofc918bt
"DUDE -- THIS-THIS-THIS A HA HA HA HA" is a solid cold open
You speechless’d me once again!!
Aside from all the amazingness of the actual video and analysis, I gotta say that Mason trolling Mortius in the edits is always so hilarious
Mason needs money for a coffee after that video. Dude knocked an editing heavy lift outta the park.
alternate title "24 minuets of Mortius having musical bi panic."
We love you, Mason.
Of course we love you, Mortius. That is a real reason why we are here, aside from the phenomenal music you react to.
I mentioned this on their video, but I'll say it here too, this song with the calls and backgrounds gives me "The Hu" vibes.
Great reaction, Mortius-yeah, Ekaterina needs to definitely make more appearances with acapella groups when possible. I’d also pay to see an opera she’s in. She’s stunning.

Mason, I absolutely love your editor notes. And labelling the midtro? Amazing
The number of layers, and how many of them that were actually represented in the video is mind bogglingly impressive. Its amazing.
Thanks, Mortius! Peter’s arrangement was spectacular and Marian’s editing was incredible. I’m honestly kinda cranky because it’s not on iTunes yet!

Thank you Mortius. That was pure joy to watch.
Speechless, not surprised. This was brilliant and beautiful and chills ❤
Epic analysis of an epic song, thanks for the replay!
Thanks for the video Mortius, this was an awesome reaction. Keep up with the good work. Big hugs from Brazil!
Even if she is performing at her 0.5%, please add Ekaterina to the roster of natural talents, because she is IMHO one of the few aliens among us 😉
mason went all out on this video lmao
I haven't watched the reaction itself yet (really looking forward to it though!), but now you have to watch Colm McGuinness's covers (yes, plural) of it! He has an English version and a Norse version!
Best Bass Gang track ever!
Now you need to watch Peters reaction to the video... some of the stats he tells us are crazy!
Peter broke the video down in his channel. I’m sure you’ve already seen it. Awesome R & A for an outstanding video!
Peter did a Vocal Arts interview with her. You might want to check that out. She's an international superstar and opera singer.
This song and video is super hyper incredible masterpiece, I have watched it already many times but still it makes me goosebumps over and over again. And Mortius your reaction gives me much and much joy, love your videos.
My favorite TBG song for sure
Mortius you didn't disappoint! Mason, take a bow!
Bless you, semi-Speechless Mortius with mouth ganging open 😅😅😅😅

Your Bass Gang reactions are always awesome, but you may have topped yourself this time!
Love your reaction to this one. and the fact that even you fail to manage to say anything.
Ekaterina was twenty-one when she starred on Italy's Got Talent. She did a song similar to this. would love to see u do a reaction to it. She needs so much more recognision than she gets right now.
Honestly if you did 2 passes through each song I wouldn't mind and would listen to the end ngl :D
Thank you for your reaction!
That was incredible!
Her singing reminds me of the old Hercules and Xena Warrior Princess shows background music, in the first half at least.
The Bass Gang is one of my favourites, and I've been following Ekaterina for awhile, so I was stoked to see this collab. You really should check out another Canadian female singer that is incredibe.

2023 xmas album. ptx now is not the ptx you knew. perhaps a double reaction. to hear dan sing at the opposite side of the spectrum try music of the night from phantom. on a personal level you, mortius, watch his cover of pour some sugar on me. a def leppard cover
Just here to watch Mason try to make a coherent video out of Mortius slowly losing his mind 😂
But in all seriousness, great work both of you! This was such a treat to watch. GIMME MORE!
Mortius, between you and Mason, this has to be one of my top favorite reactions of yours.
Honestly??? I think me too
So Peter does a breakdown of this and explains all the things, that went into making this video if you’re interested.
The intro reminds me of that one part from be prepared
Yes!!!
BTW - if you want a fun peek at Ekaterina Shelehova with The Tenors (formerly Canadian Tenors) have a look at Snowman (Sia).
Peter Barber, the first person to sing, he wrote this arrangement.
Yes, I spoke about that a lot in my intro :)
Elaterina's voice reminds me alot of Eivør Pálsdóttir. She'd be worth checking outnif you lole that kind of sound. Her song Trøllabundin is a good display of her vocals, as is her live peformace of The Last Kingdom theme.
Its the same note at the end of Voiceplays 'Oogie Boogie Song'!
This is a really awesome version of this song!! They blew this one out of the park. It is going to break you for sure. I love your reaction to this one Mortius. This is the link to Ekatrina's RUclips channel ruclips.net/user/Shelehova
How about those overtones from Marwan!!
I think he was fully focused on a certain someone (idk her name lol)
Edit: oh nvm its Ekaterina
Enough of him those overtones are so cool!
The note they sing is an f one jeff sings an e one
No this song is E1 geoff sings an F1 got it switched
Time to board the dragon ship

FWIW: The song predates Vikings (2013) by a few years: 2009 by Fever Ray.
Totally Xena,The Warrior Princess vibes, except for the highest notes. Those also remind me of something, but I can´t place it.
A fog horn E1 from Peter, Tomi, Bobby, and Marwan.
There’s a reason Mortius’s outfit is pink and blue :)
Why am I just now realizing the meaning there 😂
If you haven't already, definitely watch Peter's reaction. It was like watching a kid on Christmas morning.
this video is a W.
A capella is the only genre that I listen to for a few years now. Other music to me is just background noise. 😊
This song screams the last kingdom so so good
Brace yourself!❤
Fantastic arrangement, awesome performance, superb video, delightful reaction, and pitch-perfect additions from Mason. What more could anyone want? Oh, and Ekaterina joins my "Acapella Hotness" list alongside Peter, Tim, and Rachel Potter. (Note this is purely aesthetic hotness, I'm demisexual. Just to be clear.)
🎉❤❤❤❤
Epic, right
Ekaterina is definitely giving me Lagertha vibes...
😊
Why didn't you put it in your playlist?
HE MISSED MARWANS OVERTONES??? I GET THE HALO VOCALS ARE GOOD BUT HE COMPLETELY MISSED MARWAN AT 7:46

This song is so repetitive, that's pitty
