As much as I love Omar Cardona, my favorite Voiceplay lineup is this one…Geoff, Eli, Layne, J and Caesar. They can do no wrong

Miracle of Sound actually commented on their video telling them how it was one of the most creative versions of the song. He loved it

“You didn’t know Vikings could spit, did you?” Favorite thing you’ve ever said

It's difficult to pick one moment out of VoicePlay's amazing arrangement of this amazing song - but the glint in Geoff's eyes and that slight smile as he sings: "Shields and spears" is worth a *shiver* or two. :D

I love that they have J returning home in this. He’s been away and now he’s coming back where he belongs. Note to Geoff: Heimdahl called. He wants his Gjallarhorn back. ☄️ Among their tattoos are runes spelling out VoicePlay. Cesar’s is on his face, Geoff has one on his forearm and there’s too much going on for me to figure out where everybody else has one. A lot of the costuming is from MMTM. Patrons have been privy to it for a while now and have started growing back brain cells so we’re able to watch it again and enjoy the rest of you having your brains ooze out your ears. Layne did the arrangement and Eli the amazing backgrounds. It was filmed, not green screen, but at a studio with immense (Full wall!) led screens. In My Mother Told Me Eli was a beserker. He obviously has recruited the whole group now. Even Cesar was scary.

Voiceplay parked Geoff in the basement for this one and he formed the bedrock that lets the others soar like that. I’m not sure he ever got out of his lowest range during the song. Add to that he looks like the Kurgan’s even meaner brother (look it up). Eli and J None, especially J None make this one fly.

Thank you Dave! Geoff's "Shields and spears" he's got that glint in his eyes and that little eyebrow raise 😄 it hits you right deep in the core

Thought you'd enjoy. This is so ridiculously epic, when it dropped on Patreon I swear I watched it through without drawing a breath! I love all Voiceplay's collaborators but these are THE FIVE & it's brilliant when J gets leave & flies in to make a video!! Geoff's new one's out next Friday plenty of bass & a sweet video.

Layne did the arrangement, but Eli moved mountains on this one. Only one word for this song. Epic. Really hoping we get another installment. They do Vikings so well!

You are one of the few that have caught that long bass note from Geoff. It's crazy lol

This is single handedly one of the best covers ever, i mean J NONE's rap, Eli and Cesear with their amazing rock tenor side lanes betboxing and of course Geoffs mega low B0's were absolutely amazing - I'm kinda scared how easy that soudned and how long he held it for, Great reaction Dave. Loving the new content!

Such an epic song! Loved Cesar in this one too, his acting was on par with how he was in Hoist the Colours. So intense! And he wore the same cloak Jose wore in my mother told me 😊

I thought they wouldn't get it any better, than last (their cover My mother told me) ... but... this is VOICEPLAY!!! these guys will never let you down. as far as I'm used to Geoff, but I'm surprised again)

Ever since watching the premiere I've been waiting for reactors to explode when they watch this & you - as usual - did not disappoint! This is such an epic production in every way from Eli's backgrounds to seeing the whites of our favorite "berserkers" eyes. I've lost count of how many times I've watched/listened to this in the past day and I can't imagine getting tired of it. I'm hoping that the imagery of J None returning to the group from the sea is just foreshadowing what will come, because these 5 together are mind bending!! Love from Texas! ❤💜💙

I love the increased tempo when compared to the original. It Makes me want to go to war. Cesar and Layne both went fierce warrior that surprised me but shouldn't have. This is epic from everyone

"The amount of stuff that these guys can do with just their mouth is just phenomenal" WHATITDODAVE 2023.

Epic song and video, epic series of stank faces, epic enjoyment! Loved it, Dave.

Ceasar was basically the crazed berserker viking of the group. The one that runs in first, dual wielding axes and just taking out the whole enemy army.

Vikings would do what was called "flighting", which was basically poetic rap battles, so don't let anyone say that the rap is out of place! I love your reactions Dave! ❤💜💙

Layne is actually of Scandinavian (Viking) ancestry, so this is likely right up his alley. Man is connecting with his ancestors on this one. This could legit be a soundtrack of a movie. Eli went up to Asgard to grab his notes, Geoff went down to Helheim to grab his notes, J.None borrowed his smooth melody from the realm of Alfheim, Caesar has the bloodlust of Thor in his eyes, and Layne has the cool calmness of Heimdall guarding the percussion ready to sound the horn for Ragnarök.

How does one end up with the vocal cords of a giant in a normal human frame? This is absolutely amazing!

J.NONE learned about Viking flyting and said, "Hold my beer."

This is one of the best things I've ever heard in my life! They got Folk & Metal & Rap & A Capella! This is just F**KING AWESOME!

Honestly, as a long-time VoicePlay fan, they could totally do no wrong in my eyes. Every cover is pure fire, but this one...this one has absolutely taken the top spot for me as one of their very best.

Your reaction to this is one I've been waiting for since it was released yesterday!! Loved it! 👍 Miracle of Sound has 4 versions of this on his channel - his original, a duet with Peyton, a trio with Peyton and Eric Holloway (That Bass Voice) and a metal version. Jonathan Young has also done a stonking metal version. And now along comes VoicePlay with their epic take on it! When VP put out a "short" heralding this I was excited as I'd been thinking that a cover by them was needed. As expected, they didn't disappoint! (MoS has commented on VP's video that this is the most creative version he's heard/seen.) Geoff's bass, outstanding as ever, made me come over all unnecessary 😍- it seemed somehow richer and more powerful than ever in this mix. Eli brought out his inner rock god - always welcome! Cesar scared me!! He can look so sweet and playful yet here he was so intense in his characterisation and he brought out an inner rock god I didn't realise he possessed! Even Layne's vocals had a touch of rock god rasp to them and his beatboxing was as insane as always. And then J None came in with some rap! Now I'm an old bird who loves rock (as you might have guessed from my comments about rock gods and rock rasp!) and doesn't tend to like rap but this just seemed to fit so well. Acappella Vikings with rock and rap? 🤨Surely that shouldn't work 😵‍💫but it did! There are now 6 versions of this song on my Viking playlist. All very different yet all, to my mind, epic in their own way

As Much as I ADORE Peyton Parrish, Miracle of Sound, and Eric Holloway’s version-THIS version has incredible depth and is the ONLY version that has given me goosebumps.

I love this song and I have no choice but to admit J.None throwing down gave this some serious new flavor.

VoicePlayers are having a whale of a time watching reactors being destroyed, one after another. LOL

Yes! Some Dave Stank Face to make my day! I so love your reactions

I am just like you Dave. Bass will ALWAYS have my heart. You just gotta have it WAY down deep with a good bass voice in the mix. ❤ Also, Dave, you are my FAVORITE person to watch for reactions. Your analysis and ability to look at ALL aspects of a song is so amazing unto its own. An absolute production analyst/performance master analyzing technician you are, Dave!

I have been refreshing my feed WAITING for this since yesterday 😂 I knew you'd lose your mind and couldn't wait to see it!! 😂❤🎉

I was waiting for your reaction, you always deliver very nice ones, and I love to watch you react to this kind of songs... And after watching the Voiceplay video the first time, I knew it would blow you away. 😅 This video, anyway, IMHO, raises the bar AGAIN. They're doing it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I don't know what they'll be doing at the end of the year at this pace, but heck am I curious! 😁 One thing that hits me is that ALL THEM seem to improve time after time. Cesar "ferocious" grit was a nice surprise. Eli was in "full Rock God mode". Layne was making sounds I never thought possible. Geoff hit B0, not only at the beginning, but ,if I'm not mistaken, THREE times (the other two are a bit "hidden" in the TON of incredible vocal stuff that's happening at any given time). And J None... Well, he's J Noneing all over the place, and that rap! 😱 Makes me want to switch to Norge creed and worship Odin 😅. See you next time! And remember Geoff is said to be releasing his new video on Friday 😉

Everyone was epic in this and I can't choose who to spotlight. Layne killing the perc, Cesar channeling his inner warrior, Eli the rock god, Geoff the earthquake with THREE B0s, or J and those bars. Eli did a ton of production work on this and Layne's arranging was jaw dropping. I'm kinda thinking it would be smart to invest in CPR equipment for any future songs. This is savage, pun intended. I would love to see the MIDI on this to see all the layers my ear can't catch even with repeated listening.

That note that Geoff was just holding before his solo in the beginning was a B0. The lowest note on the piano. The good majority of the time, Geoff was in the 1st octave

Thank you, I have listened to this song several times but because of your analysis I heard more of the sounds in the texture of the song. Expanding my appreciation of music that I already loved. Thank you very much

By Vikings for VIKINGS!!!! We shall have you on our ship Dave! Get ready to raid!

this song gave me Chills!! they did an incredible job!

I'm not gonna lie, this song put a real fire in my belly! *VALHALLAAAA!!*

They killed it as usual!!!!❤❤❤

Im glad I'm not the only one biased to Bass I like voiceplay but Geoff is definitely the one I always show up to see 😂

The best a capella reactions I’ve found so far are nearly always on your channel. Thanks for your passion.

He was invited to do a tour with the USO and felt that was something he could not turn down, they went over the details in one of their behind the scenes videos just after he left.

B0 guys😮!

Perfection! It doesn't get any better than this! No other acappella group can touch them. Everything they put into all of their videos! Absolutely amazing! A masterpiece! Love all of your voiceplay reactions! My favorite part - bass, of course.

Jezzzzeeeeeee. That last spears. damn, I had to hit my desk. I love when u can still hear the base underneath.

That was a lot of stank face, Dave. Love the energy of your reaction.

Every time I hear a new Voiceplay song, I think "This is the best they've ever done, they can't possibly top this..." And then they do top it, and some. But this one... HOW could they ever top this one? There's no more sky above this one, it's only ceiling! They'd have to break something.... reality maybe...!

Odin, Thor, Loki, Freya, Frigga and all the rest of the Norse gods and goddesses will welcome these amazing gentlemen into Valhalla any day! SKOL and Hail the Travelers! To Valhalla

These men are worthy of the title of SKALD!

I fell in love with watching reaction videos. And I got to say I really like watching yours. You just really crack me up sometimes

An epic voices arrangement way out there, Dave love ur approach of explain always ur reaction is the best, let me tell u boy i have seen a lots of others, u are funny at the same time, from Caribbean Island U.S. Puerto Rico Blessings to you , family and friends Amen

I was so eager for your reaction to this. You and VoicePlay never disappoint.

letsgoooo voiceplay

I know how good they are, and I'm still stunned!

The ‘huhhh??’ After the dubstep drop was my exact reaction too 😂

I was waiting for your reaction for this video! I😁 awesome reaction as always 😊

all the faces you make make me smile each time i see your reactions

I think I've listened to this 100 times since it came out, OMG!! Eli is giving me major Floki vibes (Vikings) in this and My Mother Told Me.

These guy did a really good cover of an amazing song

You said they make it their own. To me, that is what music is all about. Theme and variation. Good music has so much in it that no performance can capture it all. One of the reasons I come to your reactions is that you respond to each piece on it's own. Talking about how that performance speaks to you. I knew you would like the rap. And I was surprised at how well it fit the Viking theme. Be well.

knew you would love this one it’s amazing ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is one of those epic VoicePlay performances! Really gets your blood flowing! 🔥🔥🔥 Loved you're reaction, Dave ❤❤

Geoff taught Lane how to beat box. He’s the og for beatboxing too.

Its such a perfect spotlight song for all of the chaps talents. Every single noise is perfection.

I can't get over this performance, man. Every 10 seconds something else surprises us more than the last. Great reaction--earned a sub from me!

Dave, I simply enjoy how much you get intot he music with every reaction you do!

Great reaction, Dave 👊🏾👍🏾

The word epic was created for this piece.

J. None is straight up going off. Geoff is going below the basement, Definitely a favorite now They all just knocked it out of the park.

I love this cover almost more than I like the original. For some reason, acapella is almost always better than with instruments.

I knew you would love this one.

I can't even..........! This is absolutely EPIC! And for some oddly mindblowing reason I don't even understand, I'm finding myself wishing to hear Angelina Jordan or Aurora (both from Norwegian Viking country) cover this song!

I love that Eli, Cesar, and J added that gritty vocal texture. We all know Geoff can do that, but they really brought it to the upper registers. Layne was amazing. J tapping!!!!!!

Valhalla Calling is now definitely lightning in a bottle.

Love to see how VoicePlay makes you so 'Giddy' Dave.....love your reactions.......>^^

Voice play I tip my hat to all you guys, you smash anything you do out the park

The theater kids of acapella did it again! EPIC! 🔥🤯💯🔥🤯💯

Cesar's wolf was howling on this one! LOVED it - and reusing Jose's cloak from "My Mother Told Me".

Knew I had to see your reaction to this. You're one of the only reactors I normally watch who knows flow.

I'll be right back, gotta add this to my Spotify playlist

I knew this would break you, especially J None!! This was epic in every way!

Yes, he did one with Peyton and then they did a trio with Eric Holloway. If you check out the comments on Voiceplay's post, Gavin (Miracle of Sound) left them a comment on what he thought.

This is sickingly AWESOME. The harmony is ridiculous. This is their new top video. Move over, Hoist the Colours.

OK, Dave..... There are lots of good reactors in youtubeland. We all know that. BUT.... you are, without a doubt, my very favorite of them all. I look forward to every reaction you do, but I especially love the VoicePlay reactions. The comments, the faces, the insights... the SMILES. You never fail to make my day. Please never stop!

and the oscars goes to Caesar and Eli .. they were IN IT

Thank you for your reactions, you are the reason that I have been looking at music differently. You are a amazing reactor and I like your animated personality

Your reactions always give me goosebumps all over again after the the first ones from the drop of the cover. I love to see people who love and feel music as much as I do!

Lol dude your awesome, I'm sorry I didn't see this video

9:00 fun fact, the vikings invented the first rap battles lol, they would roast eachother and build themselves up in the forms of improvised poetry, it was one of the Norseman's biggest social hobbies, its oddly fitting to have a rap verse here.

@10:10 those headphones looked awfully heavy for a second 😂 what an emotional ride

This one......... da boom!!!!

your face told everything!

Who are these guys? I'm frickin BLOWN AWAY. Those harmonies and how they blend WOW

Holy crap. I'm still new to the group and this was outstanding!!

The fact Eli was singing whole phrases in B4-D5(i think) from 7:08 is crazy

Hahahaaa...I was waiting for your reaction to J.s solo.

I was just wondering how Dave was going to handle this one! You didn't disappoint us! I don't know how they do it but they stunned us yet again.😊

The first time I watched this it was like being under attack but with music. So much was happening that you need a moment to process all of it. And they were not holding back. Loved it

Dave, I so love your reactions. Much love for being honest and heartfelt as you feel the music and share it with us.

i love this one
