Isakaldaz Wulfazizsunus Thats exactly the opposite of what kids in my class say, they just dont know that they are missing one of the gratest bands on europe, the best one in europe and the world is ofcourse queen but skálmöld is just after tjem
Isakaldaz Wulfazizsunus also, they rhink they have good taste in music but they dont even knoe queen, hate skálmold and they love rap and say thats real classic music
Eren Yeager Rap's real music, but the same goes for Skálmöld and Queen. Not a big fan of Queen myself but it's good music nonetheless. They need to learn to be a bit more objective, eh?
I wish you could as well, as good as the music is the lyrics are better. It is absolutely impossible to describe them in English. Some of the songs are poetry, pure and simple.
well i discovered the music around a week ago and have to say ... y es manly tears are shedding :D 0:14 right down corner - the smile of the women after the crowd is impressed. ♥
I will never say this of a live version, I can't stand hearing the crowd. But this. This crowd. This is beautiful. This is a concert where the audience is just as important as the band.
You can tell that the band is amazed that this is even a thing that's happening. Whenever they get a break they take it all in and you can feel the joy radiating off of them
It's hard to pick a favourite moment from this genius performance but for me it's either the nerdy bassoon player or the conductor going absolutely crazy
This is still one of the best versions of any song I've heard. It's so incredibly well done in every aspect. THIS is how you use an orchestra for metal
Drinking beer outdoors with my sword next to me, listening to Skàlmöld when its 22c and sunshine. Still get goosebumps for some reason. Must be cold finnish weather..
I just want to comment on how happy they all like while playing this. That's the feeling that everyone should always have. And then the real world kicks in and we realize it's just fleeting moments like this. Live to your best while you can. Love to all of you.
I was introduced to this by an Icelandic colleague. I understand pretty much nothing of the lyrics, but I don't need to understand to realize it's awesome.
Tbh according to a study scientists have found that metal and classical music induce kinda the same feelings in people. They are both overbearing, loud, somewhat majestic in their ways kinds of music. So while you won't see mosh pits at opera houses (make it happen ppl, with white wigs and period clothing, come on) the feel is there certainly. Especially baroque classical era of music is like thta. Deep, somewhat dark, majesticc, just less intense than metal is and ofc less distorted
+Brother Captain Koravael I wouldn't have thought you would need a scientific study to tell you that, alot of metal musicians were inspired by traditional classical like Beethoven and Bach, so it's not that odd that it conveys the same feelings of grandeur and heavy emotions, imo metal is the true progeny of traditional classical, since most orchestral music written today is best described as musac (music with a purpose, i.e. soundtracks etc. whatever wictionary says it's not necessarily a derogatory term, it's actually a technical term in music describing a certain niche which is being filled currently either by electronica or orchestral music)
I dont unterstand a word! But no matter! Thats so epic!!! The wohle band is happy and laughs! And the islandic symphony orchestra makes a wonderful job! WOW! Need more! My respect. Greetings from switzerland.
Hey guys from Skálmöld. I found the recording of this concert by chance on youtube and watched it six times in full length. Then I bought the recording. So glad I have found you ! I still love to watch the concert on youtube from time to time, it gives me the energy when I am stuck in difficult tasks and need motivation. Please please come on tour soon to Germany!
- Kristoffer - no problem, if you want to meet women for whatever purpose you don't go to a metal concert. I guess that is the one type of concert where there is no queue at the women's loo :D the concert itself was great and I even had a short chat with one member of the band. Yeay!
Ac Boesefrau Yea metal concerts are real sausage fests aren't they. And thanks for the tip but I already have a girlfriend so no searching for women for me. And while we are at it... Witch one of them did you talk to?
- Kristoffer - the guy with the long blond hair, usually right side on the stage. Just paid some compliments for the performance. that is one thing what I love about smaller concerts. Standing in the first row without hassle is one of the other
Best piece of music I've heard in 39 years. I might even start learning some Islandic. Until then... I'll grab my old guitar and play this song until my fingers will start bleeding. Cheers from Romania! You fucking rule, dudes!!!
one of the many things i love about this video is the two, i presume, friends at 7:51 passionately singing along. One does the "barely contained while focused on the show" thing, and the other does his very best Animal impression while singing along.
And the guy in the hoodie next to "Animal" guy just looks around and shrugs his shoulders. He does not seem to know where he is in the time/space continuum.
The majority of folk metal bands are better live, simply for the atmosphere they're in. I saw skalmöld live and I must admit they are quite exceptional even within the folk metal genre.
to be honest, nearly every band sound better with an orchestra. but this is just pure awesomeness. i listen to this every single day since i saw them on december 13th in austria
Why was this band not in my life earlier? It's fantastic! Although a Greek, the Norse history, culture, Sagas and tunes always felt close to my heart... Can't wait to visit Iceland this winter! \m/
Skálmöld got started in 2009.... and they went over the top from the very beginning. This short story just feels so long because all they do feels so damn great....
Mr.P Since my family came from Scotland and Iceland, not Ireland, we aren't scots-irish, it is very near to me. Love it. Starting to actually learn the language. It is really cool.
I love the fact that they're just absolutely loving it, it doesn't matter who they point the camera to, every musician is smiling and really enjoying it
Amazing. I discover Skálmöld today and I like them. When I was young the musical creativity was in California. Now it is in North Atlantic with bands such as Skálmöld but also Týr, Kaleo and others. The World is changing.
aaaaaaaannnd...another amazing example why electric hard guitar riffs and classical music works fine together. Feel your roots my beloved norse brothers and sisters!
Absolutely flawless. I first came across this about 5 years ago, and was so happy it came up as a suggestion again. The whole concert is incredible. Band and orchestra in perfect harmony ❤
In 2012 i went to the Pary.San Open Air in Obermeier, Germany, one of the biggest extrem metal festifals worldwide, and Skalmöld played there... i didnt know them yet, but they played after a grindcore band and opend with Vallöl, and i just stood there and was fllashed by the amazing clear voice opener and the rest of the concert... after that i saw them on Ragnaröck 2013 in Lichtenfels, Germany and on the Eluveitie Origins tour in Geiselwind, Germany and they were always my main act... i try to introduce them to as many people as possible :D :D :D in Geiselwind i could talk to them for a while tell them my story how i got to them... and took some pictures of course :D Übersetzen
Oh Iceland, you beautiful, amazing country. You're gorgeous and have so few people compared to others, but pack so much talent into about 330k people. I love you so much. That's why I'm coming back again. 🇮🇸😘

Rap's real music, but the same goes for Skálmöld and Queen.
Not a big fan of Queen myself but it's good music nonetheless. They need to learn to be a bit more objective, eh?
what else to say than ... "i watched the first fucking 2 minutes of this masterpiece and instantly bought the DVD" ?
I wish I could speak Icelandic so that I could sing along with these guys, because this music is just out of this world. Greetings from Slovakia.

I hope these guys know what a masterpiece they created. I'll love this song forever.
My fave moment is at 6:27. That happy smile the drummer makes when he realises that everyting is working 100%
He is really full of joy and the puppet on his drums construction makes the picture even more beautiful ^^
@@sven5206 thats not a puppet, its a muppet... its animal, the drummer.

Makes me happy too.
Right when he paused he wasn't expecting the symphony to also
