Let's be honest here, Ulfric and his puppets aren't going to win the war against the Thalmor when it comes (because we know that's how it's ending, those evil sons of bitches trying to take over Skyrim, and then all of Tamriel), they need the Empire to back them up or its Sovngarde for them all (but maybe that's a good thing.... jk, even Stormcloak lives matter). Seriously, what's better? Hundreds of Stormcloaks against the Thalmor or thousands of Imperial soldiers against the Thalmor? I think we all know the answer. Long Live the Emperor, and Long Live the Empire.
What people tend to forget is that the stormcloacks are just as racist and obsessed with their own culture as the thalmor of the third Aldmeri Dominion, and also that the thalmor controlling the Dominion are the bad guys and not the entire Dominion, it suppresses its own population as much as it does Skyrim's.
Flight stormcloaks aren't racist especially ulfric tbh because look at the grey quarter yes we can all agree its very rundown but do you see anywhere else In skyrim that the dunmer have a whole part of a city to themselves? No u don't and for the argonians there is a quest in game where they get a pay rise and are then happy to work and again not in the city walls but they have there own part for them only down at the docks
The reason that the Gray Quarter exists is because of all the refugees going from Morrowind to Windhelm. If another city (for example Solitude) had been close to Morrowind, I'm certain that the Dunmer would have been treated better.
I love the slurred speech as though the singer were actually half drunk and singing in a tavern. I don't mean that as an insult if it wasn't intended; it's perfect for the song imo
i played Skyrim only, at first playthrough I was a stormcloak, sure, I mean the Empire tried to cut my head the moment the game started lol but in every other playthrough, after I learned of the situation, I ALWAYS sided with the Empire, I even turned against the Dark Brotherhood so that I don't betray the Empire.
I can't express how much I love this song. It is my favorite version of this song, and the video shows off so many beautiful parts of the game. Fabulous job.
Dussmasterzero Matey, Tiber septim, Talos of Atmora, was a Nord who created the 4th Empire. But then again, in skyrim the empire is the Imperial Mede Empire. so i am wrong i guess. (but so are you. Ha-ha :) )
@bestrader thanks sir, i played that game from when i was 6 and im 13 and i still play the series, so thank you, nobody ever considered doing something i asked them for, You are a star, thanks
Aw man I was so hoping for a long extended screaming DIIIIIES! to trail on and fade out at 1:31.... Still it far outshines my hope and my dreams so, their is that. Also I LOVE the twin raspy and smooth voices it accents the concept that Skyrim is full of many peoples not all are fighters. Not all are grim and gritty, many are calm and soothing and having 2 very contrasting voices along with this STUNNING instrumental works very well so... I breathe a teary sigh of satisfaction and say Thank You.
I so see this carrying over into the online Elder Scrolls game. Even if the Stormcloaks don't exist in it and Ulfrick is two centuries dead. Victory to Skyrim, and to King Ulfric!
The aggressive vocals in this song makes me think of the vocalist from the Swedish Power Metal band Sabaton! But anyways amazing cover! I always liked this song and you just made me like it even more! =D
It's sad how long it took me to realize the Empires long term goal, I used to always side with the stormcloaks. Now I only do it for the sake of changing up the gameplay when I make a new toon. I've always wondered though if they make a game that is set after Skyrim, what will be the lore of how it all went down?
You can always check into the help section or e-mail them on more info to find out what you need to. You never know what'll happen. I find this pretty awesome :3
Awesome song. Also there's needs to be DLC for Skyrim where you can become Emprour or at least High King because like the Septim line you have the dragonblood.
+daan nieuwenhuis Ah, little do you know about your leader. The man is manipulated by the Thalmor. Do you rather have Imperial order and peace, or Elves rampaging through Skyrim, to drive the nords out and take it back?. The choice is yours, choose wisely. Long Live the Empire! Long Live the Emperor!
TBH I'd love to hear a mix of the two - no one wins a war , we're the children of skyrim, and when saavengard beckons everyone of us dies! Would make for a good skyrim music video.
In-game, if you get shouted off a cliff, yes. Logically, being thrown against a wall at thirty miles per hour would be enough to break a few bones even with armor even if it doesn't actually hurt anyone at short range in-game.
I fought for the stormcloacks at first but then realized after reading lore that the Thalmor outlawed Talos knowing that the nords would rebel therefore weakening the empire alowing the Thalmor to take advantage and destroy the empire then erradicate everyone that stood against them including ulfric and the storm cloaks.
Wow, you do realise Skyrim has been out for almost 1 year and a half and we are still arguing about it... That's how you indentify a fucking EPIC lore and an amazing game
if im fighting someone else and another bandit says that i cant help but glare at the screen, unequip my weapons and show him how good of a scratching post they make xD you just reminded me to get Namira's ring! Raksahdarg is going feral! >:D
These in-character arguments REALLY makes me want an online version of this so I can join the war with other Stormcloak players by my side! Down with the Empire, and the Elves that made puppets of them!!!
while on the surface, these arguements seems fictional role-playing, it is in fact deep rooted in your life philosophy. what is more right, to use logic and diplomacy against an enemy you can't defeat, or simply become a wild beast with no real plan or strategy and be like (urgh kill all our enemies, Arrrrrrgh, we are stronk)
Also I think the very slight variations between Age of Aggression/Oppression is the developers showing you how similar the sides and how silly the fight is.

I like the Empire AND the Stormcloaks. I prefer the Dragons then both of them. Thumbs up for Alduin!
Empires are good.
atleast you don't support the Dominion lol
Man I heard this back in 2012 and I'm back here again.
I love how the guitar starts when the chicken gets up xD

What the Stormcloaks like to forget is that the Empire is what's keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim.
yet the empire in a way gave skyrim the finger when he signed that Talos forsaken treaty
+navyboyable It's not like they had a choice, the Thalmor were practically at the gates of the Imperial city.
+alec “aleckils” kils Heil, huh. Interesting choice of words.
What people tend to forget is that the stormcloacks are just as racist and obsessed with their own culture as the thalmor of the third Aldmeri Dominion, and also that the thalmor controlling the Dominion are the bad guys and not the entire Dominion, it suppresses its own population as much as it does Skyrim's.
Ad' Valkyria That is basicly saying the Soviets were good becouse they didn't want the nazis invading them.
Funny thing, Ulfric is just a puppet of the Thalmor.
Lord Beerus True. They didn't gave a fuck when Ulfric escaped because they knew he would be a great advantage to thalmor (civil war).
+Lord Beerus he isnt a puppet of the thalmor, the thalmor just think it is more profitable to them if the empire keeps itself busy in a civil war
+Lord Beerus It's interesting how Stormcloaks over look that, along with the racism.
Flight stormcloaks aren't racist especially ulfric tbh because look at the grey quarter yes we can all agree its very rundown but do you see anywhere else In skyrim that the dunmer have a whole part of a city to themselves?

No lollygaggin'.
I love the slurred speech as though the singer were actually half drunk and singing in a tavern. I don't mean that as an insult if it wasn't intended; it's perfect for the song imo
I cant get that picture of the dovakhiin on top of a dead dragon playing this song with an E-Guitar out of my head! XD
I just realized, those who played Oblivion are Imperals, those who payed Skyrim first are Stormcloaks
Muhammad Hasan No, i played Skyrim first and sided with them because i learned the truth
i played Skyrim only, at first playthrough I was a stormcloak, sure, I mean the Empire tried to cut my head the moment the game started lol
but in every other playthrough, after I learned of the situation, I ALWAYS sided with the Empire, I even turned against the Dark Brotherhood so that I don't betray the Empire.
I can't express how much I love this song. It is my favorite version of this song, and the video shows off so many beautiful parts of the game. Fabulous job.
Gotta love the guard at 4:32, "Aye, that was pretty good", indeed my brother nord
What the rebels like to forget, is that the Empire is what's keeping the Dominion out of Skyrim!
Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire!
Death to the empire and your fancy elven stuff! you can keep cyrodiil, Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
~JamesTheLazy~ Nords Created The Empire. Skyrim Belongs to the Empire.
***** no incorrect Imperials created the Empire. The Nords were just the first humans to enter Tamriel the Empire was created much later
Dussmasterzero Matey, Tiber septim, Talos of Atmora, was a Nord who created the 4th Empire.
But then again, in skyrim the empire is the Imperial Mede Empire. so i am wrong i guess. (but so are you. Ha-ha :) )
lol
@bestrader thanks sir, i played that game from when i was 6 and im 13 and i still play the series, so thank you, nobody ever considered doing something i asked them for, You are a star, thanks
your covers are the gold standard for tes renditions my friend. cheers!
The EMPIRE is the RIGHT choice.
and i thought skyrim's metal theme was the only awesome one! MXR thanks for placing the link in description to this awesome song!
The world of Skyrim is truly beautiful. I wish I could see it in person rather than through a TV screen.
HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?!?!
Can't believe it took me this long to notice this song.
This is gold.
when the acoustic guitar plays at the start (if thats what it was) it sounds like the doctor who theme :) this is so cool, awesome work
WE DRINK TO OUR YOUTH TO DAYS COME AND GONE
I'd love to see the look on Ralof's face when he heard Sven singing this
holy mother of metal, that's great stuff!! oh and LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE! xD
Let Skyrim's Imperial Legion live on and down with the StormCloaks.
hopefully they will!
Another amazing cover by our only real bestrader.
Aw man I was so hoping for a long extended screaming DIIIIIES! to trail on and fade out at 1:31.... Still it far outshines my hope and my dreams so, their is that.

Your Smithing and Speechcraft must be over 100 as no one can make a dragon's head blow up with pure awesomeness of words and heavy metal.
When I listen to this while I'm doing homework, my productivity soars.
I would be very excited to see an age of oppression version!
Although I'm a Stormcloak I still think this is awesome!
Only true Imperials request that one. Great work, can't wait for Age of Oppression.
AWESOME!!!!!!!! FAVOURITE AND GREEN THUMBS
Thanks! I love Tom Waits!
You sir are a natural! I respect this kind of any skyrim music Keep it up!
This is what I wanted to hear on a metal cover, manly vocals!
For the Empire!
I so see this carrying over into the online Elder Scrolls game. Even if the Stormcloaks don't exist in it and Ulfrick is two centuries dead.
Victory to Skyrim, and to King Ulfric!
Way better than I even expected, and I expected a lot from you! :) You did bloody fantastic!
And very awesome ppl who enjoy awesome music, Really good job Brandon. Epic song mate
Oh my god, This is great. Like always the guitar is mind blowing, but I'm impressed with the singing ^^
Great work! It sounds really good!
Wow no comment , fantastic sound
LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE
best remix so far for me.
Glorious! An Epic song you have remixed! Well done!
The aggressive vocals in this song makes me think of the vocalist from the Swedish Power Metal band Sabaton! But anyways amazing cover! I always liked this song and you just made me like it even more! =D
this song is awesome man
one of my lest favorite songs in skyrim (cuz i went stormcloak) but you cover this song very well my friend
just glorious
love this
God I love the beginning and end D:
I subscribed, so get crackin' on Whiterun! I wont make idle threats, cuz dude, you'r a continent away, but don't break my frozen skyrim heart!
This song is fucking amazing. Any idea where or who that deep raspy voice comes from/is? Does he have anything else!?
This is so nice! It would be awesome if someone would create a whole band dedicated just to sing about TES universe and stuff.
10 people tried using Dovahkiin and died by a rock flying to there heads. Great music Brandon, Hope for more! Sssssubbed!
This gave me chills
good point
i like this stuff
Killer song, u got rly good skills. Waiting for Age of Oppression.
It's sad how long it took me to realize the Empires long term goal, I used to always side with the stormcloaks. Now I only do it for the sake of changing up the gameplay when I make a new toon. I've always wondered though if they make a game that is set after Skyrim, what will be the lore of how it all went down?
amazing
@MacGyverinSpace PS awesome song.. . again
My good sir, you are epic.
Masterpiece...!!
Freakin EPIC, love it !
really great remix man, loving it. at first i thought this would be shit, but you done such a swell job :D
They actually do. there are two versions in this song. Request it at the Inn in Windhelm and you'll hear the Stormcloak version.
You have talent, amazing song!
i like your voice in this song, really apt.
It´s Awesome! Thanks Brandon!
long live the empire
I love it! I know what Imma be doin' for the next 5 hours! Editing the new Roy's Adventure :)
tell you one thing bestrader you are f****** AWSOME
You can always check into the help section or e-mail them on more info to find out what you need to. You never know what'll happen. I find this pretty awesome :3
Hail to Skyrim and all her Beauty
Try speeding it up 1.5 or 2 its fun.
awesome
I laughed at this comment for days. :p
It's such a good insult that really isn't insulting at all, milk is awesome.
I would love to see a mod where this epic Rock Bard appears in inns, or can become ye' follower!
The rhythm and harsher vocals remind me of Aelstorm.
Awesome song. Also there's needs to be DLC for Skyrim where you can become Emprour or at least High King because like the Septim line you have the dragonblood.
You, Sir, are epic.
is there an "oppression"-version? bc the only reason i'm listening to this is because it's really well done. but death to the empire, you know.
+daan nieuwenhuis Ah, little do you know about your leader. The man is manipulated by the Thalmor. Do you rather have Imperial order and peace, or Elves rampaging through Skyrim, to drive the nords out and take it back?. The choice is yours, choose wisely.
Long Live the Empire! Long Live the Emperor!
shut
+daan nieuwenhuis You can't handle the truth!
+DoctorPC Your leader is dead lol. (DB Questline)
Rendeel or so you think...
our Rightful Ruler has more than just one stunt double :P
TBH I'd love to hear a mix of the two - no one wins a war , we're the children of skyrim, and when saavengard beckons everyone of us dies! Would make for a good skyrim music video.
i love you and your songs
JUST SIMPLY EPIC!!!!!!!!!
Wow ! That's just awesome ! Good job dude ! :)
OMG THIS IS JUST BAD ASS!
In-game, if you get shouted off a cliff, yes.
Logically, being thrown against a wall at thirty miles per hour would be enough to break a few bones even with armor even if it doesn't actually hurt anyone at short range in-game.
You are awesome.

you are awesome... when are you going to make another video? Maybe you should do the dragonborn comes in metal
Wow, you do realise Skyrim has been out for almost 1 year and a half and we are still arguing about it...
That's how you indentify a fucking EPIC lore and an amazing game
if im fighting someone else and another bandit says that i cant help but glare at the screen, unequip my weapons and show him how good of a scratching post they make xD you just reminded me to get Namira's ring! Raksahdarg is going feral! >:D
Love how stormcloaks are like "go sturmcloks" on a video of Age Of Aggresion. You stormcloaks have a song for yourself, Age Of Oppresion, go there.
Even the stormcloaks like this
These in-character arguments REALLY makes me want an online version of this so I can join the war with other Stormcloak players by my side!
Down with the Empire, and the Elves that made puppets of them!!!
while on the surface, these arguements seems fictional role-playing, it is in fact deep rooted in your life philosophy.
what is more right, to use logic and diplomacy against an enemy you can't defeat, or simply become a wild beast with no real plan or strategy and be like (urgh kill all our enemies, Arrrrrrgh, we are stronk)
