BBC News: "Breaking news: there appears to be an minor earthquake happening in rural Ireland, we are not sure what is causing it at this stage but it has fabulous harmonics."

This man would earn the highest compliments Kratos has to offer: A curt nod followed by a grunt of satisfaction.

You're not just one pale boy. . . . you're a whole freaking orchestra and choir by yourself! Incredible!

People: you need multiple people to create an orchestra Colm: hold my beer.... This mans vocal range is insane!

How many string instruments will be in this song? Colm: Yes

I guess he has now officially earned the title of viking after having to learn old norse to sing this song

I've never hit the "set reminder" button so fast

the vocal range on this guy if put into physical form would be taller than mount everest, he can hit those deepest deeps, and the highest highs, absolutely amazing

Everyone: Can you save any range for us? Colm: No. I'm using all of it.

Hey everyone! Cheers for watching! Here's what I used to make the full orchestral in this track, if anyone was curious: Cinebrass Pro Cineperc Saga Percussion Native Instruments Symphony Strings Live tracked cello (x8) 20 vocal tracks Fart noises pitched down to sound like warhorns (yeah)

After banging my head because I could not discern a single word, I went Googling. . . he's singing in Icelandic! Color me amazed. "Beast mode" does fit the mood of the translated song.

How epic should the cover be? Colm: Yes I showed this cover to my sister and now she has a full beard. Brother, this is sooooooo good!!!

Composer: we need a lot of bass singers This man: I AM THE **BASS** SINGERS

How many instruments do you play? Colm: Yes

At 1:16, it sent chills down my spine! This was the best one that you have done by far!

Imagine listening to GoW4 theme and thinking to yourself "I bet I can sing it even deeper". What an absolute mad lad

[You feel like rebelling against Olympus]

By Odin’s beard! Last time I checked, your subscribers were in the thousands; you’ve grown two magnitudes in the blink of an eye it seems, and rightfully so! Your inspiration is contagious and your voice has the determination to be heard. And as the saying goes, when someone becomes a master at something, it becomes an art form, and your control over the strings is second to none; I had never see someone convey such vivid stories wordlessly until I heard “Before The Storm” and “Welcome To Wildmount”. I don’t know if I have the right to say this but I feel proud to have followed you through the years, and will watch in anticipation for years to come, your talent is truly awe inspiring. Sorry for the long winded message, but I felt like I have been getting greedy with your more frequent uploads and haven’t stopped to appreciate your efforts. I can’t wait to see what else you make, and hopefully more tunes akin to “Before The Storm”, as it is one of my most important writing tools.

Up here in the Swiss Alps we would say : Stupend ! This would be an excellent soundtrack for some of the darker history of my valley, the Engadin. Before 1629 marauding armies kept destroying the villages and stealing whatever they could, so the local farmers lived in constant fear. Never knew when the god of war would haunt them again

Dude, wtf pls don't stop being so epic. This was some of your complexed things, and i know my shit. That was insane. I love your content god damn

my brain wasn't able to convert the number into a correct time yesterday. so I set a timer in my phone to 17 hours. 😄 it served its purpose. I am hear right now. very excited.

I use this song for DND battle music all the time, this rendition is so incredible and definitely being put into rotation!

After that cover Cratos by himself came into his house, put a hand on his shoulder and said: "Not in Sparta, non in all 9 worlds I've never heard the bard better, boy".

Who needs a whole choir if they can have one Colm? This video was incredible!

1:17 always gives me chills on the main soundtrack, and you managed to capture that in this. Well done. Who else can’t wait till the new game comes out?

Sir i stood up and threw my shoe. Then I cried for 30minutes then I slept off. Thats all :) This is beautiful.

Man this hit me hard. I lost my dad 2 years ago and this game is both my favorite and hardest to play now. Thank you for this. Valhalla will absolutely welcome you brother!

DAMN! I’m speechless! I think you’re at the beginning of a very hard, but very successful journey! Your work ethic impresses me. Putting that together cannot be easy.

Wow I was so disappointed when I saw I have to whait 17 hours to hear it. But that only increases the hype. God of war is one of my favourite games. I'm glad you picked this for tomorrow's release

So excited, I had suggested this one on an earlier video! I know it's going to be amazing

Kratos : Read it Boy! Colm : *YES*

Quick premises: Bear McCreary is my favourite modern composer, and the God of War soundtrack is probably in my top 5 scores (especially Ashes and Deliverance). Oh boy, this was INSANE. Truly mind blowing. Spot on. Fire. Chef's kiss. 10/10. Bravissimo!!!!!!

Wow. Very high production effort, so much layering to get that wonderful choral harmony, and even some fancy dust flying around the screen! Well done Colm!

I was half expecting him just to growl *"BOY."* and then stay silent for the remaining 4 minutes and 26 seconds

Just walked out the house with my battleaxe and somehow grew out my hair and beard in seconds. May or may not have to do with this masterpiece.

I love your videos! Also, strict adherence to the dress code of Ireland with that style of sweater is noticed and appreciated.

This is Beautiful. It sounds like Kratos and Jormangander are harmonizing 🔥🔥🔥

The “one pale boy” has me rolling xD

Gonna be honest, there were moments in this that were heavier than most metal songs

It’s awesome how his voice can go from high to low so fast

Listening to this song while playing Elden Ring. -Feel my inner Viking stir -Battle cry and charge into a fort -Jump attack and cave in the skull of the first guard in the gate -Get swarmed by a pack of rats and die -Remember I'm playing Elden Ring

He actually sounds like Kratos. I used to watch my son play God of War so many times. It was like watching a movie, so to hear this is epic. This is crazy good by the way!

Bro this gave me chili’s when he was doing this

Gods, this sounds so absurdly accurate to the original score that, if I didn't know better and couldn't pick up the difference a minute in, I might think it was the original!

Since minute 1:43 i haven't be able to stop having goosebumps!!! everything is insane!!!

Awesome!

I’m so happy I set the reminder for this. I’m so impressed with Colm’s ability to sing beautifully in an entirely different language, with so many different ranges of singing!

Those bass vocals are amazing!! The best of your work yet! A whole one man choir!! Your voice with the orchestra is magnificent, outstanding!! I am becoming emotional while listening ...goose bumps.

My dude you never disappoint, you catch me off guard every time with every song and you nail it! Keep up the good work!

jaw dropping with how good this is

Chills my guy, my surround sound with this video makes my room fuckin tremble 😂😂

That's it, I need a collab between this man, Avi Kaplan, and Geoff Castellucci IMMEDIATELY!

Quick note for Icelandic and old norse: ð is not a d, it makes the voiced th sound where your tongue is against your teeth and you use your vocal chords, great cover ðough

I found you a while ago with your version of hoist the colors. Then I went down the rabbit hole of music you've put out there. I love Sleeping in the cold below and your Norse version of If I Had a Heart. I almost can't believe the range and how low your voice can go. It's amazing and this is the kind of music I can always listen to. I don't know what genre of music it is but the kind you've put out is the kind I can listen to on end and even sing along with. Sadly I cannot hit your low notes but I can appreciate them all the same. Thank you for the beautiful music you've made, I really feel at home listening to it.

Goosebump inducing bass, new format, good sweater, cello, mandolin, lyre, epic backing horns... Need I say more?

Thank you for another phenomenal video and I appreciate all the work you put into making it! 🍻Cheers for more to come and truly hoping you never get burnt out!!!

This was fantastic. You can tell you put a lot of work into this, it's soooo good. Thank you for making these!

you are a god.. people can't sing like that.. every time you sing that deepest note, i get goosebumps everywhere)) magical mesmerizing voice.. you stole my heart)) please never stop doing it! p.s. impressive how much work, time invested in each video.. amazing man..

Omg what an amazing cover your voice is just amazing the low notes the high notes the instruments you can play everything just amazing.

I listen to this almost EVERYDAY, thank you so much. You have no idea how much this makes me happy🤍

I love the bass

Saw this for a split second and set a reminder, didn't wake up in time for premiere but listened the moment I awoke and loved it! Perfect as always.

Amazing!!! This is the best cover of the main theme that I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for your performance!!!

Oh Thor, it's just the beginning and Ialready know I'm gonna love it.

The Swiss Army knife of the orchestral/choir in one man

Looking forward to this! [may edit later] My first time hearing any version of this. Amazement & curiosity abound! This is the first video by Colm McGuinness using his new seamless backdrop and lighting. The video production values are nothing less than top-rate professional! Color saturation, focus, focal length, white balance, contrast & highlights. (The God of War has a dandruff problem? Sorry, I just keep thinking this. It's also a way of watermarking the images, in case someone tries to abscond with them without permission, I would think.) The jumper & cello show up right nice!

I’m confident there is no one in the world as musically well-rounded and gifted as thee💖

Doesn’t matter if it’s edited or natural, it takes talent to pull it off and I’m certainly colored impressed! Good job mate

Dang, if your vocal low notes aren't electronically assisted, you've got serious range! Awesome stuff regardless! Well done! ^^

You never fail to impress. I'm a flower in a book. (Squish)

If this doesn't make the Gods tremble on their thrones, I don't know what will!

My dude, I thought Kratos was actually singing this. Epic job.

Wow, 10 seconds in, and my goodness! This song is awesome! Still want to hear you do "We are all one" but this has made me satisfied.

Dad of Boi would be proud of you Colm!

Our boi is getting better with his video editing. (And sound mixing.) Great work as always!

Missed the premier .There’s only one word to describe this….Phenomenal.

Listening to this as I draw Bubbles from Powerpuff girls :D

Thank you is woefully inadequate to express my gratitude for this piece. Utterly outstanding... Just...no words. Continual repeat for the foreseeable future ❤️❤️❤️

The fact that he doesn't have more subs is a crime!

Absolutely loved this seriously Colm Mcguinness you are amazing and cannot get of watching your incredible music videos.

Wow, just wow… this was absolutely amazing. I think all the gods of war would argue about stealing the bard for their court.
