That's not new. Led Zeppelin alredy alredy wrote songs about the Lord of the Rings in 1971. Sabaton and Nightwish, for example also wrote some. If you like this kind of things, check out Nightfall in Middle Earth, Blind Guardian's concept album on the Silmarillion.
Just a little story concerning this song for me. Last year, I travelled to New Zealand for the first time ever, fulfilling a life-long dream of mine to visit this amazing country. I did everything Lord of the Rings and Hobbit themed, visiting all the filming locations and more. And this song by you two brilliant men is what set me on my journey there! The whole drive to the airport and then on the plane, this song accompanied me. Most epic drive & flight ever! Thank you both! ❤🤘
Whoa! That's so cool! I lived in New Zealand for a few years. I went to Hobbiton, but unfortunately I wasn't nearly as into it as I am now. I really hope I can go back!
I have listened to this about 100 times Dan Vasc was a great addition to this song, he is a very talented singer and artist. I love all his witcher songs. I need to check out more on this channel. So good.
He is the one that solved this cover for me. Remember he contacted me before I started to record and when I was struggling to get this cover where it should be, I contacted him. It worked out perfectly!
LYRICS: Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To seek our pale enchanted gold The dwarves of yore made mighty spells While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep In hollow halls beneath the fells For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword With foes ahead, behind us dread Beneath the sky shall be our bed Until at last our toil be passed Our journey done, our errand sped (We must away!) We ride before the break of day! Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To find our long-forgotten gold The pines were roaring on the height The winds were moaning in the night The fire was red, it flaming spread The trees like torches blazed with light
Ein Meisterwerk! Ich liebe es! Dieser Song als Metal-Interpretation ist eine Wahnsinnsentdeckung! Absolut Gold wert! Wer die Idee dazu hatte ist ein musikalisches Genie!
As a lifelong fan of both metal AND Tolkien, I gotta say, this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. And I'm so sorry it took me so damn long to comment lol.
This should have been the version used in the Movie!!!!!!!!! Awesome cover Guys! It fits perfectly because Dwarves are from Nordic Legend. The original song was composed as a Nordic folk song. So to turn it into a Nordic Folk Metal Cover seemed natural and it came out Awesome!!!!!
You have translated this song, and others, so beautifully. You take such a unique spin on songs, whilst staying true and respectful to the originals. Kinda makes your own kind of thing. And that's a big deal, because so many people simply can't accomplish that. And Dan, that was epic! You've got a sub from me, and I'll be listening to more of your things. Can't wait to see what else you two have got!
I think this is the best thing ive ever heard on youtube. My favorite movies( LOTR and The Hobbit) with this quality of metal forged to 1 masterpiece. Well done Skar and Dan!
Listened to The Pokemon Theme before this. Dude I'd seriously sell my soul for you and Dan Vasc to do a full album together. I think you guys sound F**king Awesome together. I found your channel by chance a while back and am so glad I did. Every song Kicks ass. \m/
I've listened to this so many times and it just dawned on me it's like hearing a dwarf and elf have a metal battle. You both are so special and I'm grateful for both of your music
"And they journeyed, on horses heavy with armour and drwaven steel forged in fire. Flames bursting from their sharp edges, aiming to reclaim the mountain from the slumbering dragon. Metal meets hellfire."
I am a musician. 40yo. Pianist. Singer. Listening to this makes me realise that real music (classical) is actually being saved by Metal. Real signing, solfege, musical knowledge. In our modern day i see classical music art/knowledge being eroded. Only video games/movie mysic and Metal are actually saving it.
First time ever seeing you Soar. I have never been a Metal Appreciated before this past April when Dan released Amazing Grace. It opened me up to the Metal World. I loved this cover - so much musical skill among you MetalHeads. Thank you for this video. ☺
Oh! My! F*&@#! God! That is the most amazingly EPIC cover I've ever heard from you. I would say it is a damn near PERFECT metal treatment of an already iconic song from an iconic movie. The addition of Dan Vasc on vocals is a surprising and welcome treat. Keep up the FANTASTIC work!
Anybody else get goosebumps? Both the original and this version of misty mountains is Epic. I imagine the original, being more spooky and mournful, as like the times when they are reflecting and feeling that deeply rooted homesickness. This version, being more fast paced, as the motivation theme song when they are fighting and racing toward their home.
Tonesz586 Dude, what? Kili is a badass. He is my favorite character from the stories. A close second being thorin. If i could have hair like Kili.... I do god damn nearly anything.
Just amazing! whoa... got goosebumps.. and the boys had fun singing this I can see .... time for me to start watching Hobbit again this holiday season! Thanks Dan and Skar
First, this cover is incredible! Now I even more want to hear what your version of I See Fire from the second movie would be like. Keep up the great work! Second, loved the collaboration. Dan was great! One other artist who has a similar style to yours who I would love to hear collaborate with you on a cover/original song is Miracle of Sound.
Dude I didn't even make it past the first two words when I fell in love with this cover. You two did an amazing job of this. I thank you two so much this has made me happy and joyful through this hard day.
мужик, я просто хочу сказать что ты охуенен. я когда твои каверы слушаю, у меня мурашки по коже бегут. я вообще не знал что от музыки можно получать такой кайф. это просто охерительно.
EPIC ⚔️ I love the moments when you Skar uses GROWL in your performances and it gets even more INSANE when combined with Dan's POWERFUL vocals... You guys do a great job together! 🏆😎🤝🏼😎🏆
I was an honor and a pleasure, Skar! You rock!!
*You* rock, man! You both do! Excellent work!
Good voice, my man. Good voice!
Dan Vasc digging the shirt! Pretty damn subtle and nessesary :)
@@xTheWolfman1991 glad you enjoyed, man!
@@XarkoCZ thanks brother!
My autistic son heard this version and it blew his mind. He has played it over and over. I do not mind one bit...turn it up kiddo!
Hell yeah!
How have I been unaware of this until now (2024)? I love metal, I love Tolkien. I needed this
Gandalf: "I have no memory of this epic song."
While Sauron is rocking in the background
New Metal Genre = Mithril Metal!
Well done!
Arkensmetal will be better I guess
Just replace metal with mithril. Heavy mithril.
That's not new. Led Zeppelin alredy alredy wrote songs about the Lord of the Rings in 1971. Sabaton and Nightwish, for example also wrote some.
If you like this kind of things, check out Nightfall in Middle Earth, Blind Guardian's concept album on the Silmarillion.
Check out Wind Rose. It's basically dwarf metal :)
There was another band during the 80's and 90's called Cirith Ungol that did some Middle Earth inspired metal, too.
Best combo ever. Skar and Dan Vasc! You guys effing rock!!!
Tolkien and metal!!!! Two of my favorite things!!!!!!!
Sir Christopher will be proud of you if he was still live ! Cheers man !
🤘😎🤘
Literally ever power metal band ever
OMG, YES!!!🤘

Just discovered this yesterday and I can’t stop playing it. This is beyond epic
When I hear this version of the song I get goose bumps. The best of both worlds. An epic song, bound by metal.
I have listened to this about 100 times Dan Vasc was a great addition to this song, he is a very talented singer and artist. I love all his witcher songs. I need to check out more on this channel. So good.

LYRICS:
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
With foes ahead, behind us dread
Beneath the sky shall be our bed
Until at last our toil be passed
Our journey done, our errand sped (We must away!)
We ride before the break of day!
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To find our long-forgotten gold
The pines were roaring on the height
The winds were moaning in the night
The fire was red, it flaming spread
The trees like torches blazed with light
Thanks a lot!
@@dag24_d no problem
😁
Some heroes don't wear capes. They walk amongst us.
This Songtext is already within the video description.
You two collabing was EPIC 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Like two gods singing a Valhalla worthy anthem of Battle. Your voices harmonize so well.
Ein Meisterwerk! Ich liebe es! Dieser Song als Metal-Interpretation ist eine Wahnsinnsentdeckung! Absolut Gold wert! Wer die Idee dazu hatte ist ein musikalisches Genie!
This is for sure an Epic goosebump version. With the both of you. Unbelievable 😊😊❤ 😊
As a lifelong fan of both metal AND Tolkien, I gotta say, this is one of the greatest things I've ever heard. And I'm so sorry it took me so damn long to comment lol.
1:13 That voice!!
Huge Tolkien and metal fan here, and I'm incredibly thankful that you did this to Tolkien's lyrics. It's stunning!!!! :) Wonderful!
Ragnar Lothbrok and Uhtred Ragnarsson singing Tolkien. Perfection
This should have been the version used in the Movie!!!!!!!!! Awesome cover Guys!
It fits perfectly because Dwarves are from Nordic Legend. The original song was composed as a Nordic folk song. So to turn it into a Nordic Folk Metal Cover seemed natural and it came out Awesome!!!!!
Please do Hoist the Colors from Pirates of the Caribbean
Pretty Brainless Businessmen yes to this!!
ANYTHING FROM PIRATES WOULD BE METAL AS F***. MAIN THEME, HOIST THE COLOURS, THE KRAKEN, DAVY JONES, WHAT SHALL WE DIE FOR!!!
And the Salazar theme too
With Chris from Alestorm featured on vocals
@@GudHunterYT96 If he does get Alestorm's lead vocalist, I would shit my pants.
Oh, and probably subscribe.
Awesome song, well done ... another one I have not heard before 🙃 ... yous and Dan blend very well together ... 😁
Thank you so much!!!

Skar is Dwalin, Dan is Kili. Just...imagine Dwalin and Kili singing in a metal band together.
He does look like Kili doesn’t he? Haha!
@@SkarProductions yup lol.
true true lmao
Brain explosion
That would be better than AC.DC
That's amazing! Great job guys!
Your light of the seven with Srod was amazing
I really liked this. Dan Vasc is incredible & you guys sound amazing together!
I think this is the best thing ive ever heard on youtube. My favorite movies( LOTR and The Hobbit) with this quality of metal forged to 1 masterpiece. Well done Skar and Dan!

Really want to see more of these guys working together. You two complement each other SO well!
This sounds so much like Nightwish's "Dark Passion Play" album. And I mean that in a good way. Fantastic cover, gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.
I'm a simple man, I see Skar, I click like.
Go look at Dan Vasc to. They do similar stuff and they appear in each other's songs :D
Wow you both should make another awesome amazing video like this again,2incredible power metal artist together,you both Rock dudes ❤🤟
EPIC FULL OF ENERGY!!! Amazing work guys!!!

Smaug's doing the pyrotechnics on the stage
A head banging dragon … terrifying image that
It has been a couple of years since I have listened to anything metal and thanks to this cover by Skar and Dan I think I will get back into it
My... Goodness... This is phenomenal.
Truly an epic collaboration. Loved it!
Orion's Reign was way epic! Just now saw the video. That was sooooo good!! I love that kind of stuff. ❤❤❤
these men have made the ultimate cover! let the journey begin!
I've listened to this so many times and it just dawned on me it's like hearing a dwarf and elf have a metal battle. You both are so special and I'm grateful for both of your music
Dan Vasc is a talented and skill vocalist. Powerful and stead
"And they journeyed, on horses heavy with armour and drwaven steel forged in fire. Flames bursting from their sharp edges, aiming to reclaim the mountain from the slumbering dragon. Metal meets hellfire."
Durin would be proud.
This is what I was looking for 🔥🔥🔥🔥 head blowing !
We and a lot of guys have been waiting for this so long Skar you can't believe how long! THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Dude you guys should definitely collaborate more, you both are awesome
Yo-ho-ho! Wow! So powerfull and mighty! Impressive perfrorm!
How have I been missing out on this greatness for 3 years???
Damn. No matter how many times I hear this song, I still get chills. Very well done.
Anybody else get goosebumps?

I know you can't hear it through my comment but I am cheering on my end of the screen.
😃😃😃😃😃
My inner nerd & metalhead is pleased
Dan & Skar are EPICA
Dan looks like Kili lol
I get that a lot 😂
I'm sorry man :D I didn't want to hurt your feelings :D
Kili is the one who might be offended xD
Tonesz586 Dude, what? Kili is a badass. He is my favorite character from the stories. A close second being thorin. If i could have hair like Kili.... I do god damn nearly anything.
OMG! He does indeed.
Please do more covers together! This was phenomenal.
Yes yes and yes. This is dwarven metal at its finest.
Just amazing! whoa... got goosebumps.. and the boys had fun singing this I can see .... time for me to start watching Hobbit again this holiday season!
Thanks Dan and Skar
This is wonderful! That's how the dwarfs were supposed to sing it!👍👍👍
Эту песню пели люди и гномы перед битвой пяти армий,воинственно звучит.
That's
Absolutely epic guys... Wow❤
Listening Scar's covers increases your strength, armor, agility, overall damage and resilience.
Highly recommended before gym sessions. 💪 💪 💪
Metal is recommended bifore gym Sessions
@@ivancavina750 Highly recommended. 💪
@@3dtemptube amon amarth is in my opinion better for gym :)
@@Lusor_Elges Hey, I said "before" 😉
During heavy sets Amon Amarth is the best 😎
@@3dtemptube :)
Perfect match from both of you, that's how this song should be!
In Germany we call something like this "ein Brett" 💥🤘
I'm so pleased you used the original lyrics that Tolkien wrote in the books!
What voices. Amazing. Merci ⚜️🇨🇦🥰❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤘😈
Toss a coin to you dwarfs, O Valley of Smaug
Just EPIC!!!
First, this cover is incredible! Now I even more want to hear what your version of I See Fire from the second movie would be like. Keep up the great work!
Second, loved the collaboration. Dan was great! One other artist who has a similar style to yours who I would love to hear collaborate with you on a cover/original song is Miracle of Sound.
I would cream my pants if Skar and Gav collaborated.
I love it when skar and dan sing together! ❤
Hell yes this is amazing!
How did it take me this long to find this? Awesome!
Literally had the book next to me and I love the fact you got the verses in order too! Fantastic job 🤘
Ah man, got to get the book from the shelf..
I think that's my favorite cover of you with the rains of castamere. You made those even more epic !
This is one of those times I wish I could like and favorite something more than once. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of this.
Here's to another 6 years to reach 1000 times of listening 😃 Amazing cover!! 🤘🏻
Absolutely incredible Gave me goosebumps ❤
Incredible, perfect.
Noticed the One Ring on Skar's neck. Nice reference to Frodo)
Discovering so many awesome covers today, and so glad to have stumbled onto this one!
Dan and Skar are god tier
This is fantastic! Epic instrumentation and equally intense vocals to match! This is battle worthy!
Amazing cover!!! Very good!😎😎
Best misty mountains cover ever
Dude I didn't even make it past the first two words when I fell in love with this cover. You two did an amazing job of this. I thank you two so much this has made me happy and joyful through this hard day.
This is awesome, beautifully done guys.
honestly, i know the facial expressions affect the sound of the vocals and what not, but... this guy's snarl is quite intimidating.
You guys are true beasts! Keep the fire of metal ablaze 🤘🏻
It's got a really cool Trivium vibe but still orginal at the same time love it.
Stunning

❤ same here.
Y’all killed that cover!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude, please get in touch with Leo Morachiolli, you guys would totally destroy some stuff.
I was just thinking of this while listening to the song! They would make for an epic duo!
I concure that would be an awesome pairing and awesome music for sure
Yes!
It would cause armageddon
@@Miguel23887 But it would be beautiful. I would watch the world burn for it. We would also need Jonathan Young to complete the destruction
I draw 50% energy from this song every morning. Mighty epic!
Damn, those vocals are bloody epic as always! Greetings from Germany
You are badass,man, Dan vasc too.🎸🤘
This still gives me chills! Epic barely gives this cover credit! Fuckin amazing!
definitely prefer this heavy metal version to the original for sure, thanks guys, great work!
Love this song so much.....getting everyone else addicted too 😍
EPIC ⚔️ I love the moments when you Skar uses GROWL in your performances and it gets even more INSANE when combined with Dan's POWERFUL vocals... You guys do a great job together! 🏆😎🤝🏼😎🏆
