    The instrument everyone is asking about is called a "Melody Harp", and yea it is just a really small Kantele. You can bay one for about $40

    • @gredulous2444
      @gredulous2444 2 года назад

      I would have guessed that instrument would be Russian Gusli, because I've seen one that looks just like your instrument. More traditional kanteles (Finnish kantele / Estonian kannel / Latvian kokle / Lithunian kanklė) look a little different in shape. It's hard to keep track of these instruments because the shapes of their bodies vary a little and they can also be tuned to each other differently, like guitars. But anyways, those are perfect instrument for Folk Music.

    We LOVE Wintersun... we listened to Time I on the way to the hospital when our son was born... and now I'll be walking down the aisle to this version of my favorite Wintersun song... though it's super hard to pick a favorite song from them for me...Xanthochroid could not have done a better more beautiful rendition of this song, they kept the integrity and meaning of the original while giving it a different sound, they're voices are so majestically beautiful, and they're instrumental playing just makes you lean back and close your eyes... beyond perfect gentlemen!

  • @xanthofficial
    @xanthofficial  11 лет назад +8

    Yeah, the really high notes are on the mandolin and melody harp. Also, the song is played with the capo on the 3rd fret. We forgot to bring the capo with us on the trip to film the video, so...

    Night gathers, and now my watch begins
    It shall not end until my death
    I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children
    I shall wear no crowns and win no glory
    I shall live and die at my post
    I am the sword in the darkness
    I am the watcher on the walls
    I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn,the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men
    I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,
    for this night
    and all the nights to come...

    I am an American and I grew up in the 1970s'. I do not think that I can listen to American bands again after this. You people are so much more... amazing, musically. I grew up on early metal (back then it was Black Sabbath, Deep Purple ). OK, Five Finger Death Punch is OK but.... they are nowhere in your league. I understand that you are not playing metal but, you are.

    • @ServantOfOdin
      @ServantOfOdin 9 лет назад +14

      +Dale Subic It's the spirit of people, ancestors and lands enchanting this song.... The original is pretty epic and powerful (the entire Time album of Wintersun is epic and symphonic). But thhis rendition is still carrying the level of feeling higher. It's so mezmerising. I am part Nordic, hearing such song is so chilling and touching. It makes me cry, laugh, feel humble and great at the same time.....

    This reminds me a lot of The Witcher 3.

    Not just a great cover, even better than the original, this version is for me one of the best and greatest songs ever!!! It's more than 2 years ago since I first listened this song and I still keep on playing it over and over again, it's just so damn perfect I can't believe it!

    Why do you guys make black metal when your clean vocals are that awesome? o.O

      There's a really good variety of cleans and shrieks in their original stuff, and Sam's harsh vocals are also pretty awesome

      because their black metal vocals are equally as awesome
      also why not both?

    Nice rap cover of Wintersun but next time don't use auto-tune.
