Tyr - Hold the heathen Hammer high - guitar cover

[TheKirkhammett96]

Hi , Great cover man , i just found this amazing band by accident , and i just wanna tell u if u can do a cover of ''by the light of the northern star'' :D thx

[StoneCOLDstefan]

awesome covers dude!

[ThorvaldEinWindir]

Finally a great Cover!After few watched the very best!

[AjaxTheYeti]

dude, this is a fantastic piece of work! very very well done!!

[IUVENTIU]

You got emotioned at 3:14 or smth

[IUVENTIU]

That is perfect!!!!All you need is headbang while singing

[JuGgAloactionPIRATE]

probably as close as you can get to a perfect cover. great job.

also, i dont want to sound like a douche or anything, and i may have imagined it, but for like 2 measures near the beginning you seemed a teeny bit slow. if it really was there, then you fixed it quickly so not a real problem. but yeah. stay metal.

[lovham89]

var bra trommer og guitar solos. wow nice

[JamesHeadbangerfield]

Asphyx is this in normal tuning?

[Asphyx123]

@JamesHeadbangerfield It's 7-string standard tuning (B)

[xypho666]

wow, that guitar is killer, is it an Ibanez?

Also epic cover man!

[Asphyx123]

@xypho666 It's a custom made guitar by a swiss luthier called Patrick Hufschmid.

[shani7899]

You're fucking amazing man :D

Well done! (y)

[walshy0001]

Speaking of Folk Metal, one of the best folk metal bands I have ever heard just released their first album. the band's called Shadowblade and their real hard to find, I don't even know how I discovered them. but I got a hold of their Demo a couple of months before their first album and that blew me away just like the new album did. I'm posting the link to the band's myspace and the lead guitarist/singer's youtube here cause they deserve recognition

"clink"

[TheDrumChannel]

Great job Seb and great playing as well - you vids are always top notch!

[arwi55]

Good job seb, you play this song very well.

I love the 7 strings its very nice, you can have many kind of sound with it its very good !

Good cover !

[GeorgiosZaimis]

Simply fantastic! You have very solid playing and sound!

[Asphyx123]

@GeorgiosZaimis Thanks Georgios.

[j3090]

sweetness dude, good job! yeah i saw these guys live last year and it was an awesome show and just had to do a cover haha

[lastzoltar]

Hi Seb,

The solos looks amazing, you must have practicing a lot I guess. I know Tyr for quiet long time, but didn't check them so much yet.

Stay viking!

Zoltar

[robibm2003]

As usual, dude, you killed. Too bad you don't have the time to have your own band. Keep the vids coming!

[Buchoass]

That looks like fun.

Your playing inspires me to pick it up and clean the dust off of it.

maybe even play it again. lol

Right on!

~Cheers~

[fafnirunderscore6]

Awesomeness, as usual :). Have you checked out other folk metal bands like Ensiferum or Falconer? I've been kind of hoping you would do a folk metal cover since I discovered your channel. Today my prayer was answered :). Cheers!

[MusicIzMyDrug656]

i have no clue who tyr is, but you make them sound badass

[Erithlon]

Fuck yeah! TYR is not a viking metal band... it is THE viking metal band!! =D

Awesome job man!

[golfrick007]

Nothing like music from the north, All hale our viking forfathers!

[Cheesedtd]

I just saw them at progpower great job!

[PDXguitarfreak]

Wow Seb, that was awesome! I particularly enjoyed the leads -- 1:55-2:06 for example was so cool!

[Asphyx123]

@PDXguitarfreak Thanks Dave. Btw. any news from the WASP front? =)

[PDXguitarfreak]

@Asphyx123 ... recently Joe asked me about it, and I said I was waiting for the vids (I only have yours)... I think JC/Joe may have lost interest. Maybe I will just end up doing the video with you and me.

[LeopardJoy]

Another awesome band to check out....TYR! You sure can pick them, Seb. And I love what you were doing around 2:00...just crazy stuff. And the ending too! And again, the video itself with the green screen is absolutely perfect...it's nice because when those vid production details are taken care of, the perfectionist in me can really concentrate on the music and not some stray pixel up in a corner! lol FAVEd of course...stay METAL! \m/

Hugs,

Joy/the Leopard Lounge

[Asphyx123]

@LeopardJoy Thanks for the nice comment and continuous support, Joy. My greenscreen always comes out best if I can shoot the videos in the morning hours, as in my "music room" it is bright and sunny then. When I record videos in the evening hours I usually also have to deal with the occasional pixel.

[YokoHimura08]

Wow, this is great! Never knew you liked/played TYR. Great band (saw them live earlier this year), and excellent cover! It really rounds out your repertoire nicely.

[CannibalZombieKiller]

good job man.

[mghecea]

Fancy finger work on some of the fills...Awesome harmonizer sound too! :)

[Asphyx123]

@mghecea Thanks Azazel.

[warheart454]

Viking music

[MrBIOSkunk]

most excellent!

[godkillshot]

Geniales Cover !!!

[leganewu]

Hell yeah!!! Great cover of a great song, hats off to you Seb!!!

How about a co-op with J.C., Zoltar and your recent drummer? Please think about it, guess that would be reeeaaal awesome

Güüüße!!

\m/ö\m/

[Asphyx123]

@leganewu Collab with Zoltar would be cool on a King Diamond song, I'm still busy with some other stuff and so is he at the moment. But eventually we'll get to it. I'm sure about that.

[godkillshot]

yeah mal etwas was ich gern hör!!!!!!!!

Viking and Tyr 4ever!!!

[DennisFors]

Funfact: Did you know that Tyr is a nordic god, and that tuesday is named after him?

[RasputinsFate]

This a pretty cool tune. Nice guitar. Peace Rasputin. UP!!!

[hufschmidguitars1]

very nice cover Sebastian, going to link it up now!

[Asphyx123]

@hufschmidguitars1 Thanks Patrick. Your piece of art is still playing so nice. I'm about to have the first string change. I didn't get the original ones. Will try slightly thinner gauge or a hybrid set. The high E string can hurt quite a bit with the current string gauge if I have to do higher bends. Will probably go for a set with a 0.009 gauge e.

[Death8498]

Damn,dude your covers always are so professional and spot on. This makes me wanna run out and get a seven string just to learn some Tyr, been dying to but can't for I don't have a 7 string haha. I did learn the Rune though. Anyways, great cover dude!!

[Asphyx123]

@Death8498 Thanks for the nice comment.

[TonyTkD30]

awesome play!

[BozKiller]

Good choice Sebastian! And well covered, as always. It's always a pleasure to get your weekly realisations ^^ Keep on Rockin'!!!

[Asphyx123]

@BozKiller Thanks Boz, glad you like it.

[JamesHeadbangerfield]

All hail King Asphyx God of Shred

another nice song man never heard of the band but ill chek other songs

and maybe learn this one

and nice background

vikings all the way

[Asphyx123]

@JamesHeadbangerfield Thanks man. Have a great weekend!

[POwnz1991]

Awesome dude. Cover some Manowar please.

[Asphyx123]

@POwnz1991 Thanks. Well Manowar isn't right top of my list. But it's likely gonna happen some day =)
