Thank you for the reaction. Glad you liked it that much
It was a pleasure, my friend! Absolutely fantastic! 🤘❤️🤘
The guy who dies on the field at the beginning after handing over the map is the author of the tie-in novel for the Finsterwacht album. He has already written some novelizations and tie-ins for the Das schwarze Auge/ The Dark Eye game on which Finsterwacht is based on.
No kidding?!? That's too cool! I'd be so down for playing this game! I've read about it and think it's brilliant! Thank hyou, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
You are welcome, Mate.
I'm glad you liked it.
The surviving guards are the bandmembers.
The captain is the singer (Alea), the guy who died first is Luzy one of the backpipe players, the guy who died at the tree is the bassplayer (Brother Frank) the guy who sacrificed himself in the battle is Till the Guitarplayer. The last survivors are Jean the drummer (with the black hair) and Christian the second backpiper. The last survivor is Falk and he playes the hurdy gurdy, he also playes the flute. In fact most of them are multi instrumentalists and can play several instruments. Most of the extras aren't actors (if any) but friends and fans from our local medieval and LARP scene. They also bring their own costumes, thats why SaMo can afford such migthy videos.
Liked it? I effin LOVED it, man!! I appreciate the info! I had the members names written down, but I think I can put the name to the face now, thank you! Such a great band! Thank you, my brother! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Much love from Germany, my brethren in metal. :)
Great Reaction, please more from this Band! the original Song Finsterwacht are in German an comes out four month ago. This version are a special for the english spoken People. The Guys in the Video are the Band Members and Hansi from Blind Guardian are singing in the Background so good! The Song is Based on the German Table Top Game ,,Das schwarze Auge / The Black Eye)
Thank you, my friend! I do plan on doing more especially since they are very friendly to reactors. I appreciate the info. A table top game!! That's epic! 🤘❤️🤘
Hansi isn't just singing in the background. In the scene we're the injured man dies at the bottom of the tree, that's him singing the main voice.
Saltatio Mortis is a good band. They have some great songs!
I really like them. I have a decent list of their songs/covers. I'm thinking of doing Dragonborn Come next. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Dragonborn Comes is my favorite cover from them. They did it with german voice actor and singer Lara Loft. (she's the german voice for Lara Croft obviously).
@@BemusingBill DO IT!!!!!🤘🤘🤘Greetings from Germany🖤❤💛
We all want the movie and want the show...
In German, we at least got a director's cut, with a lot of cutscenes, instrumental background music from the Album and a narrator revealing a bit more of the story.
I really, really, really do hope that they will release this on English, too, one day, so that you all can fully enjoy it. They got a pretty good narrator for the intro here, too, after all.
Thanks for your reaction. Your joy was contagious.
Thank you so much, my friend! I hope they release an English version as well! Much love 🤘❤️🤘
A nice reaction! :)
A bit of background:
It's the first single from Saltatio Mortis' concept album Finsterwacht ("dark watch" or "Darkenguard"), an hommage to German tabletop RPG Das Schwarze Auge (DSA)/The Dark Eye (TDE) for it's 40 years aniversary. The box contains the CD, a novel (one of the authors - Bernhard Hennen - is the one, who dies on the field after handing out the map), a tabletop adventure book (choose your own adventure style) and dice. Saltatio Mortis is a German medieval rock band, but they also mix in different music styles. The second single (Schwarzer Strand/"black beach") and the third single (Feuer und Erz/Fire Ore) are already out, and there are 2 more. There are also (German) making of videos for all of the music videos. Rondra is the goddess of war etc.
Finsterwacht (Darkenguard) are a line of towers/beacons in the mountains of Finsterkamm, as last line of defense between the lands of humans and orcs (those are the creatures in the video) at Heldentrutz, a part of Weiden in the Middenrealm at the continent of Aventuria. Their function is to warn the people as seen in the video. Saltatio Mortis (latin for "dance of the death") is the group trying to reach this goal in the video.
The video took 4 days of shooting, with a lot of LARPers - which is why they have such good costumes. The choir at the beginning and end is from Prague orchestra. Hansi from Blind Guardian sings at the chorus, sometimes alone, sometimes with Saltatio Mortis' lead singer Alea (the blonde, bearded guy).
Thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate the info! I read the game is more popular than D&D in Germany. That alone is pretty amazing! 4 days to shoot all of that is pretty impressive, as well. I've already done Schwarzer Strand (first time hearing SaMo) so next will be Feuer und Erz and I'll give a shout out to you! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill You're welcome :)
The other singles are "Der Himmel muss warten" ("Heaven has to wait") and "We might be giants", which you'll probably like, too :)
The tabletop also comes with ambience music. It's a hidden gem imho, give it a try.
@@FriedrichHerschel definitely
Have you seen I pray to the hunter?
Not yet! When I do I'll give you a shout out, my friend!
@@BemusingBill I would appreciate that
Try the german version. The atmosphere is more intense there.
You can put on the subtitles if you want to know the lyrics.
I do plan on it. I'm not sure if I'll do a video or just watch it all by me onesies. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
Well, there better be more because I want to know what happens. This was so good. Loved the video and the music. And, Hansi's voice is always so recognizable. Blind Guardian is the perfect band, with their love of fantasy to collaborate with Saltitio Mortis on this.
There's a German version as well, but I too crave MORE! I agree, Blind Guardian is the perfect choice! Thank you my friend!
Folk metal with an epic video of a tale set in Medieval times just tops my list. I'm always stunned by the quality of SM's video productions and music. Both are works of art. Their choice of instruments is astounding as well. I'm just wondering when their music is going to be recognized by the film industry and used in future fantasy movies. Thanks for this review!
They inspire me to want to make a movie just to use their music! Great song! Great video! Thank you, my friend!
@@BemusingBill They have a Making of from this Video to
Actually I prefer the German version despite not understanding the language. Somehow the whole song and video sounds better.
Of course, maybe its just that I am used to that version and the english sounds jarring and out of place somehow.🙄
Love this epic band.🤘❤️🔥🤘
🥰🥰Much love from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦
Thank you, my Dear friend! Love them too! I should have done both versions here but now I have to decide if I should do a video of that version or just watch it on my own 🤔
What I know for sure is the next one should be Feuer und Erz since I've already done Schwarzer Strand.
Much love back from a New Yawker! 🤘❤️🤘
Where's the horses? Bros need a ride. Trudging around on foot in full battle gear looks exhausting.lol. great reaction and thanks 4 sharing. New band to me and I enjoyed it😊
Yeah, right? They could have at least used a couple of coconuts like in Quest For The Holy Grail 🤣🤣
SaMo is awesome! Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
That's the english version of "Finsterwacht", which is in German. You should compare both versions.
I should have done them both back to back in one video. Now, I have to decide if I want to film a reaction to it or simply watch it on my own. Thank you, my friend! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill Video is identical, you can see this especially at the choir scene. The mouth movements match the German version, but are not lip-sync in the Englisch version. Both versions are cool lyric-wise, but I like the German version a little bit better. It feels more "natural". On the other hand, the english subtitles in the original Video are a little bit off from the actual lyrics. They're not always correct/perfect.
The one german word that is left untranslated, Orkensturm, is taken from the setting of the TRPG this is based on.
I guess they didn't translate it because they couldn't find one that conveys all the nuances.
A direct translation would be "orc storm", but that sounds a bit silly. "Orc deluge" would probably be a better fit.
Anyway, the Orkensturm is an event in the world of Aventuria that occurs every few hundred years, when the orcs unite and invade the lands of humanity (or rather the lands of all other races, they don't care whether they kill humans or dwarfs or elves).
There is an in-world explanation to it that is bound up with the world's cosmology. Basically, the main god of the orcs choses one orc to be his avatar.
The power of the gods is not endless, so if his avatar is defeated, the god has to start saving up his divine energy again, and the orcs go back to tribalism.
The current chosen one has been around for a few decades, and he has already tried invading the main lands of humanity once.
When I started gaming in the 1990s, that event was just past.
Thanks for the info, my friend! Sounds like my kind of game! I had a feeling the word 'orkensturm' meant something like Orc Storm just because of how it sounds. I figured it was using storm like when someone angrily storms off or when troops suddenly attack a building or a place hence the word stormtrooper. I like the story line of this game! I'm going to have to dig deeper into this. I appreciate you! 🤘❤️🤘
@@BemusingBill They published the basic rules, a few adventure modules, and a bit of background info in English as "The Dark Eye". The rules are a bit on the crunchy side, though.
There are a few CRPGs. The most accessible ones are probably Drakensang, and its prequel River of Time. They are not particularly new, but hold up surprisingly well.
Or if you fancy a real old school CRPG experience, there is the 1990s Realms of Arkania trilogy. They incidentally deal with the repercussions of the last Orkensturm. However, they are from the early 90s, so not exactly comfortable to play (there are so many ways to die an ignoble death in them, the graphics were already pretty dated when they came out...).
