I someone doesn’t like this? Then to Hell with them. In my opinion it is a beautiful and proper metal interpretation of the most metal orchestral movie theme I’ve ever heard.
There comes a time, thief, when the jewels cease to sparkle, when the gold loses its luster, when the throne room becomes a prison, and all that is left is a father's love for his child.
crush your enemies, see them driven before you, to hear the lamentation of their women... oh yes and to hear 331erock play my theme musics!!!!.....YES CONAN, EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!
"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!"
“Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.”
*applauds in upright bass* usually you just turn us down and make us play open E/B along with the offbeat ov the doublebass. feels nice to be appreciated.
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!

How have I never seen this?! Seriously?! This just suplexed your Zelda video out of the number one spot, for my favorite musical anythings ever. Oddly enough, Riddle of Steel was used in a few Zelda trailers (rightly so, you do NOT get any more epic than Riddle of Steel, and rarely do you get more epic than Zelda).
I'm a metal head, I usually don't like most of the metalised version of OST on RUclips. But you made honor to the mightiest King of Aquilonia. May Crom grant your soul with long life, much women, and many slaugthers upon thy ennemies.
How the hell did I miss this one?!! My favorite soundtrack! YESS! Thank You! Thank You!!! And DoktorVenture, Very Well Said! Crom! "What are you doing here?" "Dinner for wolves," The Riddle Of Steel, it's in his guitar. \m/
Ever since I first saw Conan the barbarian when I was 5/6 years old I've always loved the music it has a build to it a heroism feel it's awesome. Then I found this about 4 years ago and was happy that you had made a metal version it serves very well, you should do the other Conan instrumentals too. Keep it up dude I love it and your other covers are fucking good too!
I have always loved Basil's work. When he passed away it was a sad day indeed. Zoe's work hasn't quite matched his greatness, but at least she is trying to follow in his footsteps a bit.
Too bad king Conan will never happen now thanks to the stupidity of universal. Waited for years. Now not going to happen. We should sue them into producing it. They left themselves open to it by say... And this story shall also be told!
20 years from now.... RUclips Commenter: You blew my mind! You overawed my mother, my father, 433,455 people! You took my father's guitar... Eric Calderon: Ah. It must have been when I was younger.

Shall I tell you? It's the least I can do. Metal isn't epic, boy, flesh is stronger! Look around you. There, watching my channel; a beautiful girl. Come to me, my child... [gets a new subscriber] RUclips Commenter: That is strength, boy! That is power! What is Metal compared to the hands that play it? Look at the strength in your body, the desire in your heart, I gave you this! Such a waste. Contemplate this on the tree of woe. Put up a long ad he can't skip!
HAA! Crom laughs at your four winds. This is my favorite movie of all time. Amazing how very little dialogue is in the film. The story and emotion of the film is told by the amazing music by Poledouris
Poledouris was also the composer for the original score of my favorite movie of all time, "Iron Eagle". You more than do his music justice, man; I would daresay you are a worthy successor. Rock on.
Through hearing this again after playing Rome Total War 2, I now noticed how the barbarian tribes' attack responses (when given the order on the campaign map) occasionally quoted Arnie's last part; "Hear the lamentations of their women". I never took notice of that until now. Makes it cooler. :P
@331Erock I enjoy metal as much as the next buddy on here but Jesus man, I just grew a damn beard listening to this!! You just got yourself a new sub, keep it up.
The Conan the Barbarian theme has a really awesome bridge, it is so light, almost cheerful but strong euforical and balances perfectly the first main part! This movie was so great at a time, I remember as a kid back then I wanted to be like Arnie :)
All of those times as a teen I remember saying "This would make some bad ass metal". Well my friend, you have done that to every song I ever said that to!

mind=blown...once again! it doesn't matter if its been minutes or weeks since i last played. every time i watch one of your videos i wanna grab my guitar and shred! KEEP ON ROCKING!!!
Okay I really, really like this. The opening riffs are magical, and I can't not see a wrestler or a MMA fighter not coming out to this music. It has so much energy and strength to it.
I love the music but even more than that every time i watch your videos you smile with enjoyment and that makes it even better. Keep loving it as you share.
That's square metal! Was missing your tunes during my internetless holidays. Keep up! \m/ And, as usual, I'b begging for Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania SotN meets metal, lol
Akiro: "Why are you crying?"

- To crush your enmies, see them driven before you, and to hear the awesome cover version of this man !
its reallly funny to see this written next to ronald mcdonald
crush your enemies, see them driven before you, to hear the lamentation of their women... oh yes and to hear 331erock play my theme musics!!!!.....YES CONAN, EXACTLY RIGHT!!!!
There's nothing in this world you can trust Conan! Not man, not woman, nor beast!
*This* you can trust.
a sword i would prefer
Oh yes
ted5567 the axe always beats sword.
in a duel an axe man vs a swordman the best man wins there is not such a thing like ultimate weapon
ted5567 Woe unto the swordsman that faces this axeman.

Sir, I salute you. This is a music of my childhood but with these riffs it is so powerful ! :)
Good Backdrop music, for your knife making videos Trollskyy!
This song is so great especially at: 1:09
We miss you so much Basil Poledouris :(
Basil = Master!
The film is important but the sound track even more so!
“Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.”
Basil would be proud!!
if crom does not listen. then to hell with him
"let us take the world by the throat and make it give us what we desire"
"CONAN! What is best in life?"
To rock your enemies, see the amp at 11, and to hear the vibrations of the bass!
"THAT IS BEST!"
WRONG!
Destroy Metal-Dub, power riff forever and to make all the groupies your sister wives.
*applauds in upright bass* usually you just turn us down and make us play open E/B along with the offbeat ov the doublebass. feels nice to be appreciated.

huuge goosebumps reading this.
Sword & Sorcery is the shit
Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, hear the lamentations of their women...and crank the guitar amp to MAX!!!!

Eric my friend, you are a machine!
Ha! Crom laughs at your four winds!
Laughs from his mountain.

Conan the Destroyer theme hits so different on guitar. Like it was the way it was intended to be.
Most epic theme song ever.
Lol
This is the most metal movie theme ever written, even without erock's touch. Now it is just earthshattering.
Conan, Robocop, Terminator. A solid upbringing.
+Geoff W. (Devo) ..and starship troopers !
+Geoff W. (Devo) Sadly I didnt see Conan when I was a kid....But I DID see Robocop and Terminato...I saw Conan LATER in life....all three rock
+Billy Price good you wouldn't understand the movie as a kid. or its too much violence in it for kids anyway
Dude when I was a child I was already watching stuff liek Terminator and Maximum Overdrive and whatnot
And Highlander.
If Basil Poledouris could hear this he would love it. You honor him with it and remember him well.
Arnold's Conan would've defeated any of his other characters, even the Terminator
especially how they kept castrating his character till he was 'the big guy who opened doors for ladys' and 'i changed the diapers'
Yes dude! Imagine Dutch stood there,
Dutch "if it bleeds, we can kill it."
Conan .......
No you can't.

"What are you doing here?"
"Dinner for wolves,"
The Riddle Of Steel, it's in his guitar. \m/
eargasm at 1:10 sounds so freaking awesome on the guitar.
Crom is pleased with your music.
In the north of every man's heart plays a wild and passionate song such as this.

Bro....I have seen several of your songs now.....You need to make an album of this stuff!!!!! :D
I love how much joy he gets from his passion. He's so happy to kick ass and rock on -- just like Conan himself.
The metal version of the movie I watched 23 times in my childhood. Ah... memories.
My favorite movie of all time, must had watch it like 200 times and I love this, AWESOME PLAY!
He's full of joy while playing. Makes it even more awesome :P
He clearly enjoys his craft. :D

This should be the new theme for King Conan!

2:58 one of the best soundtracks ever! Manowar an US Power Matal took alot from this.
...also this all reminds me of .. "RONAAAAL THE BARBARIAAAAAN!"
I'm sure, Crom likes this too!
Dude, you fucking ROCK! Thanks for taking the time to do all of these favorites, man. Keep Rockin!
My favorite part is 3:22
Wow! Have always appreciated Serbian rocker Izvan Zakona's version of the Conan theme (also avail. on RUclips), but man you totally rock...thx!!

The riddle of steel has been solved through the strings of your guitar! Crom will welcome you in Valhallha u_____u
HAA! Crom laughs at your four winds. This is my favorite movie of all time. Amazing how very little dialogue is in the film. The story and emotion of the film is told by the amazing music by Poledouris
CROMMMMM!
Hands down the best cover of "Anvil of Crom" I have ever heard! You need to put that on Songsterr!
2:59... That's when you know shit just got real.
Gets me every fcking time !
Poledouris was also the composer for the original score of my favorite movie of all time, "Iron Eagle". You more than do his music justice, man; I would daresay you are a worthy successor. Rock on.
This has me wondering what this song's composer's other work would sound like metallized....how about 'Klendathu Drop' from 'Starship Troopers'?
I would love to hear that, too. Love the Klendathu Drop :>
Through hearing this again after playing Rome Total War 2, I now noticed how the barbarian tribes' attack responses (when given the order on the campaign map) occasionally quoted Arnie's last part; "Hear the lamentations of their women". I never took notice of that until now. Makes it cooler. :P

+Eric Connor Crom laughs at these peasants, they can go back to beiber and adele and burn in the fires of hades
142 people can’t see the answer to the riddle.
Maybe your best cover! the greatest guitar arrangements I've ever heard on this songs... keep up the good work!
respect brother :) :) :)
You're so f-ing awesome!! I love the whole soundtrack for the first movie!
CROM!
You Sir, are an absolute hero!!! This one is more than genious, and your Mr Crowley... Randy is sooo proud of you!!! 🤘😎❤️

He is Conan the Cimmerian. He won't praise your awesome cover so I praise it for him.
Is this what is best in life?

Do the sharks have biceps made of machine guns and giant robots?
awesome comment man, you win the internets!
Anvil of Crom is a fucking masterpiece, and you did it justice. GG.
I've watched many covers of the Anvil of Crom and this is the best version. It captures the energy of the original while you make it your own.
The riddle of steel has been answered. One of my favorites, and one of the best sound tracks ever for a movie(s).
You found a way to make the best adventure music even more epic! Thanks Eric! And yes king Conan should use your version on the movie!
That was tremendous dude!!!!! One of my all time childhood favorites!!!! I salute you brother!
