Name your longboat! GO!

Please tell me there's a chance of us getting Old Norse and folk metal covers in the future. I need more of this in my life

So Colm can scream now too. The man has no limits to his voice... What's next, is he going to admit to us that he also beatboxes. Amazing version of the song and expression of talent.

Interviewer: So Colm, what genre of music do you produce? Colm: Yes. I: umm.. and your vocal range? C: Yes. Damn dude... This got me 🥵😍

Chilling deep vocals? check! Beautiful haunting folk music? check! Brutal growls? check! Bone crunching heavy metal? check! Epicness overload? oh hell yeah!!

Seems he’s not so Colm anymore

Real glad that Colm made a new version of this song, it’s going to be amazing

This is going to epic. When you know it’s Colm singing video you know it’s going to be epic

Colm and Peyton Parrish is the duo we need on some Viking songs

Okay I was wondering if I heard a hurdy-gurdy and then I saw it and yes. I cannot express the yes. Everything about this song is beyond perfect, from the vocals to the instruments. Colm is a modern bard capable of anything and I love it.

Hey guys! This poem, Þat mælti mín móðir, was written in approx year 917 by my great great great... (repeat "great" 26 times hehe) grandfather Egill Skallagrímsson. I am his direct descendant 28 generations up (like probably a large chunk of Icelanders alive today, haha). Egill Skallagrímsson was born in Iceland in the year 910 and is the main character in one of the most famous Icelandic Sagas, "Egils saga Skallagrímssonar". He was the son of Skallagrímur Kveldúlfsson, who emigrated from Norway. They settled in the West of Iceland and the farmhouse Borg is where they made their home. The small town of Borgarnes, a stone's throw away bears the name of farmhouse. Egill was quite the character. At the tender age of 7, he was playing sports with the neighbour's kid, Grímur Heggsson that was a strong 11 year old, and Grímur was giving Egill a hard time so Egill just killed him. As you do... haha. That's what vikings do. haha. After this his mother told him he would make a fine viking and Egill wrote this poem on that occasion. It should be noted that the Icelandic language has changed very little since that time. Here's Egill's original poem (1st vers), followed by the modern Icelandic version: Þat mælti mín móðir, at mér skyldi kaupa fley ok fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svá til hafnar hǫggva mann ok annan, Það mælti mín móðir, að mér skyldi kaupa fley og fagrar árar, fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni, stýra dýrum knerri, halda svo til hafnar höggva mann og annan, Þorsteinn Kolbeinsson

Another cover of an amazing song from the people i can call my own and if it will be in Old Norse it will hit close to home. Knowing you Colm, we listeners will not be disappointed. Keep up your work and god bless your voice i want it so badly. Edit: After hearing this i can truly say that it brought warmth to my cold Scandinavian heart. Hearing you sing with such passion and power in a language that layed the foundation for the language i can call my own. Really amazing work on this one Colm. Worthy of a seat in Valhalla and the halls of Odin.

One of Loki's nicknames was "fire hair". I can't help but feel but he's somehow channeled in the screams of this song. Freaking AWESOME rendition of this song!! Gave me the chills!

The more I listen to your music, the more convinced I am that you can sing literally anything. Your range, showmanship, and ability to cross genres with ease are amazing skills.

dude you should do more songs that includes screaming, your voice is POWERFUL

After your last Celtic Rock video, I am looking forward to this one. I was always interested how one of you Bass-singers fit in the Metal-context. Cant wait for tomorrow 🤘

FUCK YEAH THAT WAS EPIC!!! WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!!

I love Colm's first cover of this song. Simply performed, and all the more beautiful for it. The old Norse version is haunting and powerful, wonderful show case of Colm's lower range. Then there this, I'm not even sure what to say about this third cover but I had a big smile on my face the whole time. A stunning piece of work!

Still listen to your old norse cover on a daily basis and I really can't wait for this one. Gotta admit, I never really listened to a lot of metal so I'm just getting into this genre but the combination sounds great:)

Like I wasn’t already obsessed with your first two versions enough you had to go and add a third. Amazing!!

So excited to see Colm and John Theodore collab on this; it's going to be amazing!

2:07 caught me off guard so badly 😆. What an incredible moment that was!

Oh my gosh!! I'm already getting chills. This is going to be incredibly epic!

The chills did not leave, only increased with time I'm so glad I get to add this to my spotifly viking list You have a surprisingly good scream-sing voice! Is there anything you CAN'T sing?!

I'm late to commenting but..........................wow. This is my favorite style of this song by far. I was very surprised when you shifted from the clean vocals to the screaming lyrics. I was taken aback by the transformation of your makeup as well. Showed the intensity of metal in a wonderful display. Awesome as usual!

Coooolm please sign my pillaging ax

I already know this will be excellent! I absolutely love war paint! It really suits you!

People : How far your voice can go ? Colm Mc Guiness : F*CK YES

My mother told me, that many versions of this song I shall listen to, As I don my headphones, judgement I shall pass, I close my eyes to feel more hairs rise on my arms, This version slays the most, head rolls one by one, rolling one by one.

this version is so-so norse-epic that it couldn't be spoken! music is incredible, voice and all it's changes are gourgeous - and visuals, icluding makeup, are just amazing. thank you for this art, it was all i needed tonight.

I have been listening to this on repeat since the premier, and I have to say, this song is powerful and already one of my favorites. Thank you Colm for making such amazing and breathtaking music for others to enjoy.

The best version of My Mother Told Me ever. Period.

I love your music man. the way you go from high pitched to deep is bliss to my ears

I somehow haven't gotten around to listening to this one until now, which is odd because metal is my favorite genre, and all I can say is HOLY SHIT MAN THAT WAS GLORIOUS!!! I never new you could metal scream with that level of intensity!!

Вау, вышло потрясающе. Не думала, что можно так органично совместить фолк и метал

I wish I could have liked this multiple times, both for the hurdy gurdy playing AND the norse metal singing. I think this next album drop might be the most epic yet.

So very hard keeping my excitement for this one under wraps. I love everything about this. You are extraordinary ❤️

Your metal covers are by far some of your best work. That's saying something too because the other stuff is epic as hell to begin with.

The Hurdy Gurdy is now a new obsession of mine!

This cover and the Gingertail one have to be my absolute favorite versions of this song! 🤘

Anyone else get the urge to start a mosh with that amazing vocals? Or is it just me

That was awesome, 10/10 as usual and it was a metal version of one of my favorite songs covered by you so that just made it better

I hoped a long time, you will create a cover song for (my mother told) in norse folk METAL version, it´s awesome. :) and i love your style of music . epic!. I wish you well. Be health you, your family and friends. May what you desire most come true. You are my inspiration and I appreciate you :) Tom

I've never heard this as a metal song. That was brilliant!!!!

As I got thrown out of chat... Again 🤣 This was 🤘🔥 you and Theodore shook the world and the Colmpany did show again why it is the nicest and most fun live chat on the internet. 🫶

Love the costume and face paint. I'm always impressed by your sheer vocal ability... this blew me away.

I'm literally listening this versions for 3 weeks in a roll 4234x a day. I loved so much this song, gods! Listening during the work it's the best choice. Love you Colm, always continue with this wonderful work ❤️❤️

I am not usually into anything screamy, but it's hard not to like it when it's Colm. Well done, lad.

Never thought I'd get slightly jumpscared in a Colm video. That was a fun surprise honestly? I dig the makeover change at the screamo part. As always, love your work! I'll be jamming this for a long time

This is the best version I've heard! I'll need more of this, please and thank you 👏🏻💙

not me missing the premiere by 8 minutes, lol goddamit. but when you said viking metal last week, I was beyond hoping it'd be for this song. but in old norse? complete mad lad! and we love to see it. absolutely insane. 12/10. another one to add to the repeat spotify history!!

The way you project emotion is absolutely amazing. Funny enough, that tells me you are probably a very kind man in person.

How did this turn out more epic then I already expected is to be?😳

The part starting around 2 minutes goes SO. HARD. The makeup design change was sick too! You need to do more stuff like this!!

That was absolutely AMAZING. Took me from still sleepy to ready for battle in less than 3 minutes

This may be the best of your covers ever. I love it. Loved the metal, so much. This is amazing.

C'est magnifique comme prévu !!!!!!!!!

Thundering lows and screams? I wonder what a mix of the two could create. Can't wait to hear more of this in the future!

Like if Atreus from God of War grew up, listened to one metal song and said... I'll create my own Ragnarok... with my voice.

What a brilliant song! Very epic and it very much suits your voice. And, as I'm finding out right now, a lovely piece of music to write heroic battle scenes to! I also just subscribed to John's channel, because who doesn't like a grand bit of hurdy gurdy playing? ;) Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the great work.

DAMN that send shivvers down my spine. Absolutely awesome cover.

Well this is going on the gym workout playlist. Thank you Colm!

Folk metal, hello there :D The hurdy gurdy addition sounds great.

Wow! That was incredible! I was not expecting that! Awesome Job, Colm!👍🏾👍🏾

Officially my fav version of this song

Aye Colm McGuinness, great job as always, I see improvements in your vocals and usage of light combined with transition in appearance! Personally I was stunned by seeing you screaming in metal and still it is on point. Keep it rollin 🤙🏻.

I didn't know he could sound like that. Holy crap, this is amazing

Got to be one of my favorite covers so far of this, the music and the power behind the vocals is so good, love everything about it !

Holy... Those screams were f-in AMAZING! MOOOORE METAL, BROTHER! and some growls could be great too) So good to see (or, I think, to hear) you in a new style.

Viking metal plus Colm's really deep voice? Sign me up!

...Holy shit, man. This is incredible.

What have I just witnessed? The growls man!! Please do more growls!

SO EXCITED!

Amazing video and song. Could you possibly sing Bink’s Sake. It would be amazing with your voice.

man, upvoting before it even starts ... I already know I'll like it

Ohhh it's doing things. Oh no... this is absolutely badass!!! I know I'm going to be listening to this on repeat on spotify. And sadly I can't keep Colm and carry on, this is too good!

У тебя самые мощная музыка на тему викингов, пожалуйста продолжай...

Iconic performance! Took my breath away!

Dramatic metal arrangement of an ancient chant... as another offering says in Old Norse, gef mér meirr! Well done, sir.

This is a mix of everything I like about music and I could not thank you more. Love it!

The pronunciation is a bit off with a couple of the words, particularly in the vowels (which is understandable if you're not a native speaker of the language), but all in all, good effort!

Excuse my language..... But this is.... FUCKING BADASS !!! If i could like this a million times, i would with no hesitation.

By Thors beard.. I peed myself a lil. It's so fcking good *chef's kiss* Please Colm, we need more of this norse folk metal!!

From what I heard on Spotify. This will be grand

You could make 300 versions of that song and I'd love every single one of them

Please do more metal covers! your screams are amazing!

Par odin tu sais screamé !!! Mais magnifique c'est génial !!!!! Colm+ du folk pagan metal je crois rêver merci infiniment !!!!

Oh my god. More of this please! Absolutely stunning.

Nooo I just missed it oh well incredible as always colm

Wooo woooo wôoooooo ça va être troooop bien !

Truly mind blowing!!! Perfect!!! Hail from Greece!!!!!!

My second favorite thing this week. The first was the post about Crested Geckos.

Going to be epic.

Man, I love your work, but no lie, I particularly enjoy you bringing some metal thunder to your style. More of this wouldn't bother me one bit. But like I said, I love your work across the board! Keep creating and stay strong out there!

The way the instruments come in at 3:00 caught me off guard! Sick riff from the electric guitar and the double pedal? Love it!

Fuck yes!

This is thunderously epic!!!

Доброго вечора, я з України. Давно підписана на ваш канал, і мені подобаються пісні у вашому виконані. Таке відчуття, що завдяки вам у цих композицій відкривається інший бік характеру. Дякую за виконання)

Whoa!!!! That was crazy awesome!!! Yarl Colm bringing all the battle inspirstu9n with that one!!!

Can't wait Colm! SO excited!!
