The exact pronunciation of all words is still an area of study but there were typically two ways to pronounce words in Latin, the Vulgar way and the learned way. For instance, loan words from Greek had digraphs like PHilosoPHia which didn't exist in Latin and when educated people pronounced them they tried to imitate the Greek sounds of the time, whereas the commoners had their vernacular way of talking which eventually turned into Italian. I'm neither learned, not Roman, but I am Italian. :)
I am a classically trained musician and I say this with so much praise, this is some of the BEST music I have ever heard made. Seriously phenomenal, any classical musician who says metal is just noise is an idiot.
Thanks for the compliment! The letter U was actually not a part of the alphabet of the Roman Empire which is why you'll see all classic and vulgar Latin texts written using V.
still coming back to this 10 years later, thank you for recognizing Nox Aurumque for having the most metal harmony and making a fitting arrangement that more than delivers 🔥
Same boat here. Classical vocalist here, don't typically listen to metal, and a HUGE Whitacre fan and I LOVED his interpretation. His voice is amazing!!!! What a range.
The drummer is what makes this for me. Mainly how dirty his Socks look, like they're maybe the fourth pair he's worn in couple weeks cause he's low on laundry, also how happy he looks to just be there playing.
I had the chance to meet the singer yesterday in school, he was holding a lecture about microsoft, i just listened to this song and it sounds bad ass srsly
I agree with you, and I think there are specific reasons for this. The arts in Swedish schools are very healthy; participation is not stigmatized like it is in North America. Singing (choral singing in particular) is very commonplace. It makes sense that per-capita the musicianship is stronger there.
We had tons of fun recording the video too! And by the way, most of us now have a new band to signify this next chapter in our musical journey. Would be stoked if you had a listen 🙏🙏
This is one of those Anomaly albums. Like “A Skeptics Universe”. We will only ever see 1 of them. Thats ok. Consider ourselves lucky to get this at all. Not a single measure on the entire album is anything but sheer perfection.
Doesn't the bassist's neck get tired?? =P You guys are soo awesome!! I don't listen to a lot of metal or hard rock but this just blew my mind. Thank you
Sir Sauvage It's sad that dudes like these who make legitimately awesome music break up quickly but bands like Chelsea Grin, Emmure and Attila still plague us... -_-
Bands like this are few and far between. They bring to life a "dead" language and that is a rare thing in this world today. These are kids (I'm 51)… You just don't hear this anywhere in mainstream culture. I've always loved metal and you can tell when a band is passionate about "music" and not money made from conforming to the corporate crap we are being fed on the radio. These guys play from their pores.
Translation: Gold, Tarnished and dark, Singing of night, Singing of death, Singing itself to sleep. And an angel dreams of sunrise, And war. Tears of the ages. O shield! O gilded blade! You are too heavy to carry, Too heavy for flight. Gold, Tarnished and weary, Awaken! Melt from weapon to wing! Let us soar again, High above this wall; Angels reborn and rejoicing with wings made Of dawn, Of gold, Of dream. Gold, Singing of wings, Singing of shadows.
I just decided to look up djent bands on Google (they don't always stick with bands of said genre and such) and found that this band only lasted 4 years. Don't get it. They're dope!
Robert knows when to use the camera to his advantage. When 2:06 and 3:15 happens, the camera shakes beautifully. I don't know if its just his voice but if that is what it does, that is incredible.
Watch out for these guys... Nice compositions! Man, those Swedes with their djent, design and shit! BTW, I liked the art direction in this video as well. Love this band!

Watching this years later and still a beautiful jam
Such a shame that you guys broke up.
The Didact is still one of my favorite albums.
They're not broken up...... I heard an album may be in the near future....
@@metalgt6828 that's some good fucking news! 🤘🏼
@@BlastCorpse hopefully we'll see some promos soon!
7 years already, miss these days fuck time flys
This is like Meshuggah after church....
lmfao!! it is!
Well put
What a privilege to have the original composer say that it's one of his favorite covers! :D
Still listening to this after all these years. Must've listened to the whole album 500 times by now
We're back with Chromaform 🖤
For years I've found myself coming back to this rendition. Absolutely LEGENDARY.
We're glad you like it still 🖤 Most of us are now in Chromaform, the next chapter in our musical journey 🖤
still coming back to this 10 years later, thank you for recognizing Nox Aurumque for having the most metal harmony and making a fitting arrangement that more than delivers 🔥
We appreciate it! Follow us in our next chapter with Chromaform 🖤
COME BACK Please. The world needs you.
We're back - The next chapter is Chromaform 🖤
This is simply beautiful. You don't have to speak Latin to appreciate this pure piece of art. You have my approval, and my money.
fucking miss this band
We're back - The next chapter is Chromaform 🖤
Ohhh not bad! Got acle on board with the mix again?@@chromaform
@@Caynug Andreas, our guitarist, also does the mix and master 🙏

I bet when he takes the socks off, they still jump around like they're on a bass pedal
Fuck yeah heavy metal yeahhhh!
You should see him in the music video for “Awaken” by Uneven Structure lol
Im loving the common love between metal heads and classical jokeys here! This is what music is about! Lets build more bridges!
I had the chance to meet the singer yesterday in school, he was holding a lecture about microsoft, i just listened to this song and it sounds bad ass srsly
IM SO FUCKING JEALOUS RIGHT NOW
every now and then you hear a perfect song. this is one of them
Amazing voice, the drummer looks extremely happy playing to this godsent voice!
They need to make a comeback.
We're back - The next chapter is Chromaform 🖤
Keep coming back to this little gem
I'm a fan of Whitacre's creations, what an awesome cover! And what a voice!
I have to watch this every couple of days. This is one of a kind music. So addicting.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, all Sweeds are just natural musicians.

I love when he get's to "Bellorum" or war and he growls that, it sounds like demons erupting from sky. Nice stuff guys. Keep it up.
Came here from the BiDiPi episode on Vsauce2; and I have to say - y'all are absolutely fantastic. Definitely favorited this video!
I dont even like heavy metal but for some reason this guy's voice makes me enjoy it...
3:06 SUSHI TIIIIMEEEEE
Yes, "suscita" sounds like sushi time.

Thank you so much, that means a lot to us who were part of Means End! Some of us are now in Chromaform, it's the next step in our musical journey 🖤
You weren't kidding when you said this singer has an awesome voice!
I heard this song 5 years ago, been looking for it ever since. Finally found it! So worth it!!!
That has got to feel good, love to hear it!
this is my happy song
I was already a fan of Eric Whitacre, but this just made me an even BIGGER fan!
Still a fan in 2025, over a decade later. Legendary. Hope life has been good to you over the years, lads.
This is just fffffing brilliant
Doesn't the bassist's neck get tired?? =P You guys are soo awesome!! I don't listen to a lot of metal or hard rock but this just blew my mind. Thank you
I'm so mad they broke up. Hope to see music come from the musicians in the future.
Sir Sauvage They broke up? Aw man... I find a new favorite band, only to be told they've broken up... :(
Sir Sauvage It's sad that dudes like these who make legitimately awesome music break up quickly but bands like Chelsea Grin, Emmure and Attila still plague us... -_-

@@chromaform YESSS!!!!!!!

Still here listening this masterpiece!!!
This is one of the most badass covers of anything I've ever seen. So good!
Duuuuuude. They are incredible. I am classically trained as well and I completely agree. This is done extremely well.
That voice is simply astonishing.
Thank you for making such a kick ass cover of Eric Whitacre.
best djent/vocalist band
me too! thank you for bringing us here.
I love how they made an Eric whitacre song metal. It totally shows the more brutal side of this song :) I love it!
One of the best voices I've heard in metal in a long time.
you're voice... man, it gave me the chills.
It's been a while since I've seen a good metal dub. Thank you:)
I love a drummer who looks like he's having fun while playing haha. This band's awesome...
wow, I Googled "Eric Whitacre metal" hoping for a miracle. Here it is
I agree. His voice is really what makes the song work in my opinion.
1:30. Holy fucking shit. I don't know if I've heard a vocal note like that before. Impressive.
Goosebumps and tears, THANK YOU!

@@chromaform Fan freakin' tastic! I'm there.
Been searching for this band for an hour! I heard it for the first time 8 years ago.. oh how the time flies.
Nice...
That's absolutely one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Insane. Should have more views than psy.
Still awesome.

I've listened to this song for a week straight. Are there any similar songs out there?

THIS IS BADASS. OMG.
I LOVE ERIC WHITACRE, I LOVE NOX AURUQME, AND I LOVE THIS.
This song is extraordinary. The emotion is stunning. I am definitely going to experiment with metal vocals now.
Why is this the most amazing release I have ever heard in my entire life??????
I love this interpretation because you give so many insane overtones that you cant easily find in other versions. Love this
10/10 would sign if i had a label
I just refound it on my liked videos and im so happy bro🔥🔥
still fucking love this song
This is so awesome :) I love how the drummer is so happy too.
Holy shit, two of my favorite kinds of music combined. And it's awesome. Mind=blown.
His voice is hauntingly beautiful.
Robert knows when to use the camera to his advantage. When 2:06 and 3:15 happens, the camera shakes beautifully. I don't know if its just his voice but if that is what it does, that is incredible.
SUUSHIIIIII TIIIIIME
+Yasser Kerbushi We get it.

I just love this
The best to ever do it. The Thall is still strong a decade after!
