Eventhough I don't listen to metal I think that it is so nice to see that you can use the violin in all kinds of music :) this is an good example for it :) and for me Alexander didn't need to play metal on his violin to prove that he is a man ;)
@JohnZackarias Then please tell me why this is suppose to be black metal. Is it the music?? because it has more in common with thrash metal then black metal with an exeption of the drums. Is it the lyrics??? No the lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with black metal at all. The lyrics have more in common with power and folk metal than anything else. So please tell me why this is black metal?? Just because the vocalist is screaming and the band is norwegian dosent make it black metal.
@heavytom89 The main riff leans heavily toward thrash metal, yes, but the first black metal was like that too. Where do you want to go to define black metal anyway? Darkthrone? Mayhem? They were greatly influenced by other genres of metal. Emperor? This song sounds like a largely compressed and produced Anthems of the Welkin b-side. In the verse and chorus there's a great deal of black metal musicality, just listen to the chord progression and lead guitar.
@JohnZackarias I know that black metal are influenced by other genres of metal, but when a genre is firmly established then it has its rules. And i personally think that black metal has to be OPEN STRING oriented and satanic. But that those not mean that this band dont have any black metal influences in there music, but they are not a black metal band and should be happy that they are not just repeating the past..
@heavytom89 Furthermore, since when is folk imagery something new in black metal? Just look at Burzum, Immortal, Emperor and early Dimmu Borgir. There's a sea of black metal lyrics out there dealing with old Scandinavian folk tales about the forest, evil spirits, mountains and all that.
@JohnZackarias thats not the lyrics tath make those bands black metal, and besides those folk like lyrics are mostly based on real mythology while keep of kalessins lyrics are inspired by computer games and movies. There is a big difference there. And another thing that make those bands black metal are the MUSIC, open strings and a dark evil atmosphere. And ass for dimmu borgir I dont really consider them black metal anymore either
@JohnZackarias Yes computer games and movies said so themselfs. No I am not narrow minded a genre has some rules or else it would not be a genre at all. They should be happy that they are not just another black metal band
@JohnZackarias Yeah but when they do evolve they more then often turn into their own sug- genres to seperate the differences. Black metal is a sub genre of other kinds of heavy metal to.why do you so desperatly label them as black metal???
@JohnZackarias I have given you many arguments to why this is not black metal and you know it. Your only argument to my previous comment is simply: this is black metal. So i guess your the one who dont know what he is talking about :)
@heavytom89 No, you provided arguments that I debunked and since then you've been saying "NO IT ISN'T DEAL WITH IT".
They've got the barre chords, the chord progressions, the guitar licks, the blast beats and the vocal style down. Easily comparable with Emperor and some Dark Funeral.
@JohnZackarias you had some really good and intelligent comments until you just wrote that this simply is black metal. And what else can i say than since i disagree: no its not?? Emperor is not really a pure black metal band either in my opinion, with the exception of there first to albums
@JohnZackarias Keep of Kalessin is actually Extreme Metal, which is a very close genre Black Metal, so It's not easy to hear the difference. I also thought that it was Black Metal before I wrote about the band as homework.
@znowman909 Homework? What are you, thirteen? Did you look it up on Wikipedia or something?
I'm not trying to be a dick but god damn it, man. Extreme metal isn't one specific spectrum of sounds that define a genre, it's a collective term to describe, for example, death and black metal.
All these variations of riffs and melodies can be found in early examples of Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal and other music as well. Music that most would consider being "true black metal". It's just sped up.
@xBliiTzG4M3Rx This is just sped up, it totally fits in Black Metal scene, it has all the variations from Bathory to Immortal and/or from Venom to Darkthrone, just played at a faster pace, this is just one of those bands that widen the BM scene to make it a liable genre, there is no one thing that makes BM, and pleace Extreme metal isn't a genre it's just a collective term to describe bands from Death, Black, Gothenburg Metal and other that folk might feel "Extreme"ly heavy genres
The best part is the lady saying "hoish!!" at the end : D she makes me laugh every time : ) (That sound, hoish or whatever, means the same as "phew!" or something in English)
@DrakoGigante Well, many say that metal is the classical music of the future, and I have to agree! I must admit, I generally don't listen to black metal, I usually listen to power metal or heavy metal, but this is one of those songs that just touches your heart! I still think that bands like Iron Maiden will be remembered longer then Keep of Kalessin, but then again, Mozart is more known then say Strauss (or anyone else then Beethoven I think), but they both made beautiful music.
@dAziks Well it's simply all about what defines these genres.Keep of Kalessin has stated themselves to be Epic "BLACK" metal, which means they use elements of black metal in their songs, and alexander uses the violin a very common instrument to classical music and is also said to play classical/folk music. So isn't this a nice mix of the two?
Woooow...I never thought that Rybak will play metal since he said that metal is the furthest music genre for him...however he looks so powerful while playing it, and I definately think that this is best genre for him, because he can actually fully express his energy and show all his talent . He should keep on playing it :D
Great... Well,the band is queit good. The song sounds fucked up.. Why would anyone have a Violin!? It doens't sound good at all.. My Opption, my problem..
@Blackmetal8000 I love how you actually admit that its your opinion and therefore your problem. There should be more people like you on this world :D Stay true dude!
@oldhammie The sound is fucked up with that violin.. The song sounds even more fucked up, you can't hear the guitars, the drummer and you can't almost not hear the vocalist.
holy shit, this is fucking amazing never heard before of that violin guy but he's great and keep of kalessin is an awesome band, I wish in my coutry we had tv like this...
God this song is just beautiful. The chorus and the way he sings clearly in the intro... And of course, Rybak's amazing skills. He is truly the only pop artist that I respect this much.
What is so god damn funny is that I do belive most of the people there really hate metal... and then this happens xP I dont complain.. Pure metal fan :3 and Norwegian.. so watching Rybak doing this was like... -He became a man... finaly!!!-
Y'know, this was pretty killer. I love it when Metal bands go outside the norm on some things, and this was pretty badass. Plus, they seemed to be enjoying themselves, so that's an added bonus. That was probably pretty fun for them to be able to step outside the normal boundaries and do something most people would never expect. It shows open-mindedness and a will to bend the rules. And that Alexander Rybak kid was pretty enthusiastic about it, so more power to 'em lol :D
When I saw Rybak first time(with his Fairytale) never would I though that he will once play a metal genre. Especially with the guys from Keep of Kallesin. It would be interesting to see him also with another norwegian hordes.
Man, Norway television seems so great, if I see music like this gets mainstream broadcast time, as well as bands like Shining and Enslaved, that's the kind of music we need on television in Belgium!
@legendsteff0 Nobody gives a damn what you think anyway. Alexander shows that he has an open mind towards other kinds of genres, even so much as he collaborates with a metal band (a black metal band on that note). Now that is openmindedness! musicians and composers speak one language they play and compose what ever they want. shame on those who judge their taste in music and shame on those musicians who give a fuck to people like u & force them selves to stick to something just because of you
It's a pleasure to see music like this set in scene with such high production value. The live choir and all really does it good. Please more of this in Eurovision!
Respect to Alexander Rybak, sometimes random musicians or singers get thrown in with a metal band even though they may not be fans of the music but Alexander genuinely looks comfortable on the stage with them and rocking out.
Whats with all the bashing of this track. I really like it. It's got awesome blast beats, great vocals, and violins etc. Why is it faggot metal etc? Violins and fiddles and harmonic vocals have been used in underground metal for years. This isn't like it's the first time underground metal has been seen over ground. And if this alexandra guy enjoyed himself working with the band then great, good on him and good on KOK..it's still a good atmospheric track!!
hello people! Would you check out my band Cretura? We're a band from Bergen, Norway, and we play this melodic metal with both female vocals and growling, aswell as we have fast / beautiful solos, and also nice melodies, even acoustic parts. We just got our songs from the studio, and we'd be happy if you used a couple of minutes to check us out and tell us what you think! \m/
I met these guys last friday and got to hang out with them after their show in Atlanta Georgia. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Really made my night :)
It makes me really happy to see how a norwegian blackmetal-band can reach a huge audience through ESC. Nice performance, even how they fittet Rybaks solo in there. For my taste it could have been a bit more nifty, but it's nice and well done anyways.
Most of Pop artists in the World barely can play an instrument, So they can't make a good Intrumental colaboration with a metal band, Think about it next time you complaint about Rybak...
@promenot let me guess why, bacuse your spandex pants can't keep your fat ass in??? metal will never be gay, unless you think that emo is metal, metal isn't look, is attitude you sissy...
They should be playing every MGP so I can rest assured that there will be something good each time!

Amazing band. Norwegian black metal rules. You should also check out a band called Subliritum featuring some of the guys from Keep of Kalessin

Whats with all the bashing of this track. I really like it. It's got awesome blast beats, great vocals, and violins etc. Why is it faggot metal etc? Violins and fiddles and harmonic vocals have been used in underground metal for years. This isn't like it's the first time underground metal has been seen over ground. And if this alexandra guy enjoyed himself working with the band then great, good on him and good on KOK..it's still a good atmospheric track!!

This is hell of a remarkable, especially keeping in mind that violin is an absolute ass to play.

hello people! Would you check out my band Cretura? We're a band from Bergen, Norway, and we play this melodic metal with both female vocals and growling, aswell as we have fast / beautiful solos, and also nice melodies, even acoustic parts. We just got our songs from the studio, and we'd be happy if you used a couple of minutes to check us out and tell us what you think! \m/

I met these guys last friday and got to hang out with them after their show in Atlanta Georgia. They are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Really made my night :)
And they played an amazing show as well :)

It makes me really happy to see how a norwegian blackmetal-band can reach a huge audience through ESC. Nice performance, even how they fittet Rybaks solo in there. For my taste it could have been a bit more nifty, but it's nice and well done anyways.

Interesting! Cool indeed, I suspect playback but still killer performance and fun.

Most of Pop artists in the World barely can play an instrument, So they can't make a good Intrumental colaboration with a metal band, Think about it next time you complaint about Rybak...
Awesome Performance ...Fuck Haters .|.
