I don't even remember what else I was watching when Ancient Bards popped up on the right. As a power/prog/fantasy metal fan, sci-fantasy reader and old AD&D player I just had to see.
After I got over my first impression of the video, I really started to appreciate this band.
First, the downsides: The story behind this album is silly & amazingly generic.
Upsides: Catchy tunes, Each artist is excellent, and I have a complete CRUSH on Sara. LOVE her vocals and accent. Great stuff - check it out!
wow being a huge power metal fan i love this song, i really expected some depressing black metal. but then i realized one or two of the members are wearing tight leather which explains the power metal lol. but really great band
Im really sorry but this song kinda sounds like a Christmas carol. It might be her voice. I don't mind the song at all but there's just that little something ...
This is an all-round good song! The problem is really the mixing and mastering...they suck big time! There's no headroom for all the instruments being played. The voice is not equalized to pull it's full potential. The music just seems to tight with no definition!
I keep getting this stuck in my head. Except in the second half of the chorus, my mind takes the lead guitar, and turns it into the King of the Hill theme.
The key, the tempo ... it fits TOO WELL. I'm slowly going mad.
I wonder... what if the budget was so tight that they didn't actually hire that small section of castle (or whatever) in this video? I've got a wonderful image of them all sneaking in in the dead of night with camera, instruments and sections of drum kit slung over their backs to film the video as quickly as possible before the 95 year old caretaker shows up...
When I started to watch this video, I thought to myself:
This is an Italian band! The way they look and perform the music is singular.The singer calls my attention for sure, and she sings more aggressive in some parts, like the chorus for example.I like it! Cheers from Brazil!
Hmm not too bad. I like the compositions but not too sure about her voice, but perhaps the more I listen to them, the more it'll grow on me. I felt the same about Quorthon's voice the first time I listened to 'One Rode To Asa Bay' by Bathory and now I love that band. \m/
I'd like to point out to all who are saying this bunch are bad... 2,827 likes... against 116 dislikes... Hmm... out of the two, I wonder which is more likely to be the better one? I wish people would stop thinking that saying "These guys suck" automatically makes you a professional music critic. If you don't like the Ancient Bards, then don't bloody watch them! Get a life, I, myself, really like them and I love this song! \m/ :D
wow very epic very victorious and amazing voice i was looking for a new music for my ipod this song will surely will be added to my playlist keep rockin
I love their sound, its great. However I am not a fan of the singer, she just doesn't seem to have a proper sound, like fictionfodder had said it would be great if they had a dude singer
they say they arent just rhapsody copycats but in their bio it says "The Black Crystal Sword Saga BEGINS!!!" ... sounds a bit like rhapsody's "emerald sword saga" and "a new saga begins" lol
It's amazing how good these metal bands are and it's a total shame that today's popular music culture glorifies empty, soulless music *coughbiebercough*
@knmurphy1 You know what's amazing? I hear neither country nor western music in this song whatsoever. And I live in Tennessee, USA (considered the country music capitol of the world) just in case you were wondering whether I know what they sound like. I guess some people just want to find a reason to be a jackass.
@pcvolwarrior81 leave the troll alone. It's more then likely not his fault he has no taste and or sense for music, much less what good music should sound like. let him scamper away to the forest of youtube where he can continue to look for his Nirvana of bad taste. Your full reward is knowing in his failure to be cultured. Just enjoy the music. XD
check out the band Wuthering heights.... they have a diff singer on the few more recent albums... i find he's better than the old singer... all the albums are good tho. the singer's other band is Astral Doors, he sounds exactly like Dio on vocals. it's awsome
Love this song, love the sound of the chorus. Don't know what you guys are talking about. 8D
I noticed that the poor girl looks as if she's about to drop in half of these shots though.
