Keep Of Kalessin Spellemann 2008

[batdog3]

This honestly reminds me of metalocalypse in the form of Keep Of Kalessin for some reason... chronic \m/

[RemySin]

The applause of this regular audience really surprised me! 

[Metalblackify]

aqui suena mejor que el propio video hd oficial de ascendant.

[TheSimontheblastbeat]

Haha, Great to see a black-metal band perform on a huge national music event!:)

[rodpantera]

@Acguarnica fuck yeah

[erdnis82]

bæste trønderske kongan<3

[Archeron33]

Kollossus was their best album, period.

[Corrosive1]

@Archeron33 Armada and Kolossus are fucking perfect. I don't think the new one is bad either, and I'm willing to hear new stuff! This band deserves more respect and listeners

[TheSimontheblastbeat]

@Archeron33 No, Armarda was

[marorococa]

sooo good!!!

[davidpeder2]

AWESOME :D:D:D:D Fuckinghhh awesome Live ;D

[wolfman1234]

I just love how he massacre the double pedals at 2:36!! Gotta love Norway for this!!!

[rodpantera]

i voted a million times on them maybe because the drummer is my cousin but iam sure that they rock as fuck

[derossi13]

@rodpantera Vyl is your cousin? wow that rocks! greetings from a big german fan, and respect for his flawless drumming!!

[Acguarnica]

@rodpantera then you and I should form a band and call it cousins of KoK. what do you say brother in arms?

[DarkBodom666]

hail black metal

[Punki31415]

richtig geil band

[cockynoodle]

How awesome is this? Norway is finally realizing what our main export is

[PREDFoR]

@cockynoodle dont forget dimmu borgir ;P

[birdkiller776]

if the grammy's in the US were it fuckin sweet

[ometdd]

Norwegian grammy's, the best and holy solution to the fanatic stave church burnings and ephemeral teen riots…

[fnaset]

damn this is not good, hail Watain!

[Knottyboyayb]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i met these guys. Soo nice people.

Bah, the audience are terrified........

[Metalfluh1n666]

Keep of Kalessin & Duncan Winterbourne, 2 awesome bands in one City, Trondheim rules!!

[GuardianOfFate12]

I wish our (US) grammys were this badass.

[drksdofthmoon]

@GuardianOfFate12 US grammy's will never be this bad ass. Not in a million years!

[MissMaidenElf]

Why the Heck didn't every other Norwegian vote for them???? that awful Didrik won over Keep of Kalessin???? OMG!!!!!

[HailThyDrumKit]

@MissMaidenElf you see because no one in Norway really likes black metal. you just hear about the small number that does.

[Shaitan111]

@HailThyDrumKit Might be so, but Norways biggest musical export is black metal which is a billion dollar industry as a whole.

[EliteWoWDotCom]

@Shaitan111 billion dollar? hahahaha

[wowebest]

@MissMaidenElf "The Dragontower", the song that KoK used in eurovision wasn´t as good as this song. "Help me! bla bla bla bla bla dragontower! Save me bla bla bla bla bla blaaa!"

[MissMaidenElf]

@wowebest No, I also think this song is WAY better, but ''The Dragontower'' don't got awfully hard lyrics, They're actually kind of cool! (The lyrics)

[xXxGarukoxXx]

his singing is so much better when its live.

[Crying11Wolf]

@xXxGarukoxXx my thoughts exactly

[thetis555]

in our days in greece only OLYMPUS have the power for something like this!!!!

pure f....ing dark metal!!!check their promo video ODIUM ERA.......HORNS UP!!!!

[VegetaSasuke89]

Dam cool shit.I wish Greece send Aeklypsis on Eurovision one day!

[iFinni]

I really lol'd at 1:10. I bet the crowd is thinking. Wtf is this shit? xD Awesome band and song tho :D

[Themgoroth616]

i hope it will look like this on ESC

[ostemanni]

no they got 3rd in norway...

[Themgoroth616]

@ostemanni

oh really?

Norway don´t send them`?

[MrThomasfs]

no we dont and thats just fucking shit. i mean, we are the land of BLACK METAL!!!! what are the reason for why we should NOT send them??? anyone who agrees???

[Themgoroth616]

Yeah, i mean...the song was really catchy, hearable for metal and non-metal fans.

[0owirtao0]

yea i know it sucks that Norway wont send them this year :(

\m/ greetings from Finland!

[FutileExistence]

These guys rule!! Fuck the elitist assholes!!

[xylo87]

when can i listen "The Dragontower"?

the song for the esc ^^

[Bloodredwinter]

I think i've read that the album reptilian will be out in may but I'm not sure if that's correct.

[Zeetana]

The song snippet is online NOW on nrk dot no

The song is GREAT and I hope they win the whole thing! All metal fans unite and vote for them this Friday! Even if you are not a fan of them, we need MORE metal in Eurovision, so vote, vote, vote!

Tomorrow at 09:00 CET you can also listen to the full song being presented on the radio P1. You can listen to it on the same website.

[Zeetana]

nrk . no / mgp

without the spaces

[SteelSkin667]

And where are we supposed to vote? I can't read Norwegian :s

I notice they have some high quality opponements.

[Zeetana]

Well, you can only televote if you're in Norway on Friday. That is when the semi final they are in is on TV.

[sirmarnor]

Oh yessireee! I'll vote like hell! Don't worry! The best song by far this year!

[Hamstray]

What's with all the wannabe BM fans claiming their stuff with Attila was better? Anything on their first two albums with Ghâsh is better than Reclaim in any sort of way. What's that you never heard of it? A bit ironic that you must be complaining about their current commercial style.

[marorococa]

holy fuck theyre actually amazing live!!!!

[Goreminator]

Yes, they play very well live. Last time I saw them was in 2006 though.

Unfortunately, they suck nowadays.

[TheRationalRant]

Well they really DON'T suck now do they.

[Goreminator]

They actually do, and don't as well. You don't seem to be brainless (based on your channel), so you'll probably get my meaning.

[MrThomasfs]

im from norway and have a little surprise>) i know one who works with the sound and music stuff, and it is NOT playback XDXDXD. they are really good live toXD

[reactor4music]

hahaha everybody is like WTF?!

[MetallAndy]

Looking forward to hearing these guys in eurovision song contest.

[TonyMiiros92]

are you kidding?? god, that would be awesome!

[MetallAndy]

@TonyMiiros92 No, I'm not kidding. They got my vote thats for sure! :p

[sponflex]

So, the second a metalband does good and makes it in the international market, it becomes commercial? Thats just idiotic. KoK is a great band, Armada was especially a masterpiece with few equals, and if you're saying these guys lack talent, you're just being a dick. I guess change scares the shit out of you. If the sound differs from album to album, it just shows that they're constantly trying new things and further developing their music. How is that a bad thing? Anyways, nice vid!

[Georgeriffraff]

Dude

They're better than in the studio

[Lammikkovalas]

Oh please, this is a singback version of the song, only the vocals are performed live.

[rhysbevansexyboy]

this is completely different to the normal song

firstly its missing 2 minutes of it

no guitar intro

added effects like guitar screams

[Lammikkovalas]

Srsly, WTF? Ever heard of editing songs for the radio etc? Did you happen to think that this might be an edited version of the song?

[xXNecrophantXx]

na they just had 3 minutes to play a song.

i saw them play a 8 minute song in 6 minute at legacy fest.. though they didnt cut much down but played much faster

[kurtig]

Wrong. They are playing live.

[kautoare]

helt sykt bra!! fucking awesome!!

[kautoare]

helt sykt bra! fucking awsome!

[C0bfan666]

yeah enig!

[hercules730]

esta chido

[C0bfan666]

fucking awesome

[C0bfan666]

hell fucking no ^^

[3BDRR7MAN]

Where did that monkey come from? :D

[mikroHAUSstudio]

I prefer the attila days, this is pure commercial

[ChocoboCrap]

*I prefer being a pretentious douchebag because they're getting recognition for their work now

That's what he meant

[ezln25]

hail kok!!!

[Vggamegod]

epic, one of my favorite black metal bands

[reddeltasev07]

Where the hell did the fiddlers come from, and why are they there?

[hermanessences]

I bet they were hired for the occasion, it was sent live on TV. It makes it sound more epic, I thought it was a synth at first, but I guess it's them.

[KmfvD]

They were from another band, performing later. Remember I saw this live, and had no idea KoK were playing. Kind of blew me away since black metal is very, very underground in Norway. More than in most other countries.

[Mib228]

They kinda "Opened" Keep of Kalessin, theire walking off just before the 'curtains' go up. Plus the fiddle is kickass and goes very well with metal imo and im sure im not alone in thinking that so^^

[suffiice]

they arent posers they are a black metal band that can actually compose for once

[MetalFreakPirate666]

GROOOOOAAAAAWL !!!!!!

[ZetsubouBlack]

I don't think they're posers, come on, Black Metal in Norway is as big as pop music in lots of other countries.

[ridah223]

This is a lot different than normal Norwegian black metal tho man, a lot better IMO too.

[psychosis25]

pop is only big in the US

[KmfvD]

That is not true. It is more underground here in Norway than most countries

[annibalchabal]

wow lucky they show this stuff in their grammys...

In France they always show big lumps of shit and crap...

btw terrific song and performance

[selbstmord82]

Superb EPICNESS!!

[nukproo]

the word 'poser' is only for stupid pioners. maybe you think black metal need to be with the worst underground sound, blasbit and and one rif, then i think you need to begin your way from the begining. may be your brain will understand this music later..

[theinmortal6]

they aren´t posers...they are something NEW,what metal really needs,something NEW

They aren´t the best,but this song (Ascendant) is quite good,in my opinion

[voorish]

posing faggots.

[gigel2006]

This is pathetic. Posers.....

[Behemoth782]

obsidian c is an inspiring musician

[masterman500]

You're retarded. ALL BASS DRUMS IN METAL ARE TRIGGERED. Well, unless you're talking about bands so underground they can't afford triggers... are black metal elitists that picky these days?

[GNCD666]

NOT THAT MUCH! Please shut up... I gave my opinion and that's it... This is not and never will be BM. First of all I listen all that comes in my possession. And "Armada" wasn't that bad, but it still isn't BM. I don's say they are not good musicians, especially their guitarist, but this type of music should stay strictly underground as much as it can.

[masterman500]

Why should it? Most well-known black metal bands are very good musicians, while most underground black metal in my opinion sounds like balls. I understand liking the "atmosphere" that SOME bad production can have, like 1996 Stormblast, but overall I think underground black metal sounds like shit.

[GNCD666]

Because it isnt music for all. You really didnt listen to real UGBM,

[GNCD666]

And i forgot, not only BM, thrash and death too, those are the real genres, the rest can fuck off, expect for some band who play heavy metal. Punk too is underground music, no compromises.

[spites1]

lol, yeah man TR00 KVLT LIKE ITS 1994!!!

I'm tired of this whole "its not cool unless you and your only 3 friends have heard this album/band". nobody cares dude

[GNCD666]

And im tired of internet warriors. End of discussion.

[spites1]

zzzzzzzz

[FutileExistence]

Shouldn't underground music be considered good??? If so... then Keep Of Kalessin is good!!! Enough with the underground bullshit, these guys are great regardless of what you think...

[ForestOfBlasphemy]

This actually sounds better than the album version of this song...

[Poeheej]

Holy shit, i want grammy's with metal aswell.

[SneekyWeasel]

Absolutely beautiful. Just goes to show how much of a commercialised joke the music Industry is here in Australia where I come from. Our music awards night, the ARIA awards doesn't even have a metal category let alone let metal bands perform. You Norwegians are a beautiful people, a shining example to us all

[Ilakretsfengsel]

thnx. xtreamly proud aswell! I love that we finnaly have opened for our huge scene of metal. It grows every year.

Stay Heavy

[aWalkingAnomaly]

Its the same here in America, and I agree entirely.

[djeikop]

Haha, awesome performance, but I laugh a bit at how the concert is, people in smokings sitting sophisticatedly by their tables, while there's this epic black metal band on stage, probably the heaviest thing most of them have ever heard

[Ansuz793]

I prefer Eld, Blodheim and Isa. and yes, Vertebrae is good, but isn't better than some other norwegian releases

[Ansuz793]

yeah, I agree. they should have won

their last album is better than Vertebrae

[C0bfan666]

they wasent comparing.. it's just the opening show thingy im norwegian and i saw it on tv

[KamenRiderNecro]

Sounds live to me. The ambience suggests that it is, with its extra warmth and the vocals are definitely live. That and the big crashing ending is definitely not canned. Sounds awesome, dunnit? How sad that the Grammys in America are so stale and corny that they'd never allow something like this on air, something dangerous and vital and yes, epic.

[FinnMetal4Life]

dont quote me on this but...im pretty sure that all performers at this ceromony are required to perform to a backing track. not that they arent this good live... cuz they fucking are epic!

[blow1977]

his singing, the whole song...it sounds so much better live than the studio version

[HyenaHaze91]

They sounds great Live. I lol at how it is at spellemannprisen though xD

[dragul777]

this is fucking awesome, a black metal/ extreme metal band plays live on spellemannsprisen, now cant get much better than tat, can it? xD

[C0bfan666]

well.. if you saw the audience's face's after they'r done performing.. that would be epic

[Derzza]

The fact that black metal is on the Norwegian Grammys made Norway like 34567 times cooler than it was like 30 seconds ago which was already amazing.

'course I see no reason as to why black metal wouldn't be on there. But you put something like this on the Grammys here in the states.. and there'd be an uproar.

[777drummerofdeath777]

This is so EPIC, I love Keep of Kalessin, great performers, great studio recorders, incredible musicians, amazing band.

[kingkongster]

stuff like this shows why the American grammy's are lame

[scamboogeryjohn]

what was really lame about american grammy's was in 2005 was that Slipknot took home a grammy when shadows fall was also nominated

[badseed136]

But the best metal award is not important enough for it to be given during the actual ceremony.

[demorgas]

AWESOME LIVE PERFORMANCE!

[kief4diamonds]

i saw them live playing this and it was awesome. dimmu borgir still blew them and bohemeth away...yeah mispelled who cares. dont waste remainging character count

[oskoret]

You would NEVER hear something like this on Canadian television... Kind Of weird for me :D

[ThrashAnthems]

HAHAHA!!!!:D

[enumaelisenlil]

NEVER as well in spanish TV!!

great!!

[C0bfan666]

when i saw this on the TV i thought it was enslaved rofl

[abaddoneth]

What is this???? All people sitting on chair and watch as nerd:/

If you thing is fantastic live come for Keep Of Kalessin concert in Poland. You will see what those mean "fantastic live" concert and hell

[MariusHS]

It is the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammy Awards. They are simply not allowed to stand.

[CRVZS]

I was at a Keep of kalessin three years ago in Portugal. This year, I will go again in Spain, they are amazing!

[DamianDurionOFFICIAL]

Amazing band fantastic live

[777drummerofdeath777]

favorite metal band of all time!

I'm telling you vyl is my inspiration for drumming, they are so good, yet they dont get the credit they deserve :/

[C0bfan666]

wooooohooo ^^

[777drummerofdeath777]

Vyl is my favorite drummer of all time and my inspiration! KoK 5/5

[meweg33]

you said vyl inspirates you

for what does he inspirate you? please answer exactly

[777drummerofdeath777]

he inspires me to grow hair...

no he inspires me to play drums

[deopisi]

OMG AMAZING! a black metal band at grammys... wow! I'm Italian and here it's impossible, we have only shitty pop and rap... Norway is infinite steps forward

[ih8makinusernames]

Join the Club same shit in america

[stian20012]

xD.,......

[Christianholt911]

This ain't the first Black Metal band that has performed on the norwegian grammys. We in Norway got plenty of Black Metalers =D Hail True Norwegian Black Metal TNBM \m/,

[deopisi]

I know I know, I envy your country for that

[yashatono]

hail, yes. and though keep is awesome (seen them live myself), they arent "TNBM."

[Christianholt911]

i know, but they used to be more black metalish. Just like Dimmu, they evolved their music genre to another level

[yashatono]

fuck me, that was fast..

they sure did, and its a shame they changed. but very few bands get the honour of being TNBM. being a norwegian black metal band is not all thats required. ;)

personally i blame nuclear blast, ive seen so many good bands turn to shaite under their wings. :(

[Christianholt911]

still my favourite black metal never turned any mainstream: Emperor.

Okay.. they got more orchestral and added more clean singing, but that just made the music better in my opinion.

The only bad thing about Emperor is that they are disbanded :(

[yashatono]

Ihsahn is still going though;)

i kind of like that they are, dont get me wrong, i love Emperor, but quitting at the top of ones game is a good thing.

Emperor left behind enough to keep fans satisfied for years to come.

for them to scatter and make new projects i see as a positive thing.

personlig synes jeg det mest negative med emperor er at anthems to the welkins at dusk hadde tilnærmet null volum på vokal. lol

[Christianholt911]

I understand what ya mean, and they still did some reunion concerts. Maybe they'll do some concerts in the future :)

Forresten, en kul ting er at Ihsahn jobber som musikklærer på en ungdomskole i Notodden, er bare til å dra dit :)

[yashatono]

å møte Ihsahn ville være kult det, men da møter jeg heller en annen musikk-lærer; King ov Hell. :P

[Christianholt911]

alle har sine favoritter vettu ;P

Personlig er jeg ikke så veldig glad i Gorgororoth og den aller mørkeste delen av Black Metal, men det går mer på at det tekniske blir litt repeterende til tider (gitar-riff, trommer etc)

Men selvfølgelig mye atmosfære og slikt i sangene deres!

[yashatono]

hvis du liker variasjon og originalitet burde du prøve Limbonic Art. ;)

favoritt bandet, hvis jeg skulle måtte velge.

tenker da spesielt på In Abhorrence Dementia.

[Christianholt911]

okay, takk for tipset, skal sjekke de ut når jeg har tid ;)

[stian20012]

i love the song i was ther xD it was funny all ppl just frozen xD

and norway rocks

[theblackpacomurder]

imagine a black metal band performing at the American Grammys??????

good quality and great band 5 stars

[ChildOfBodomy]

haha bad ass.

[C0bfan666]

your right.. so awesome it being played on the grammys.. also! i watched this on the tv.. so awesome!

[Hulkas666]

I saw Keep of Kalessin live in their hometown Trondheim yesterday. I keep getting more and more impressed by how insanely great musicians they actually are and the general quality of the performance itself. On stage they really act as professionals.

[Pearlbrk]

de er proffer to the bone ;)

[fisketruten]

faen ass, jeg hadde så JÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆVLIG lyst å dra på den konserten, men jeg var ikke 18 enda...

fylte 18 den 2.mai, litt surt at de hadde 18års-grense konsert ca 1 uke før jeg ble 18...

og forresten... KOK RULER

[MortemCP666]

Great

[C0bfan666]

got that right

[Revenaant]

hahahahah where the hell is this from? ppl just sit there frozen with a cuppa coffee in hand goin :O GAAAAAAAHHH

Brilliant music tho

[C0bfan666]

it's from the norwegian grammy awards...

[sardonicmind]

they would never have a good metal band at the american grammys, expcet for horrible rappers snd shitty emo bands like fall out boy =[

[hooliganSKATE]

when i saw this band live, we got to the venue and went to the bathroom and standing there is keep of kalessen!! it was fuckin awesome

[777drummerofdeath777]

I think they should have one an "Epic" award for being so epic and awesome

[bardia1923]

Great, another fucking pop metal. Fuck this piece of garbage

[WitchOvAgnesi]

Retard.
