Epica - In The Hall Of The Mountain King

[BZegraph]

Actually it is "Prelude to madness",the track before the "Hall of the M.K.",in the Savatage album.

[TheJuanpiferco]

o my god is the Cullen brothers band!!

[penisfish93]

the song is called "Peter and the Wolf" by Sergej Prokofjew.

[VoxAndBass3592]

@penisfish93 No it's not.

[39Lawliet]

honestly it's just in the hall of the mountain king with a few very half hearted drum beats now and then THEN the drum beat changes

[jomase6154]

you guys are wrong about it being a cover of savatages song. It's Rainbows.

[troll226]

good version,but savatage are gods,noone can touch them.

[jomase6154]

@troll226 wrong.. Rainbow's version is better. actually same music just better.

[orestious17]

thought that was a cover from savatage "hall of the mountain king"

[northidahonudist]

It is their cover of hall of the mountain king, i should know, its my favorite song. I love how it starts out really slow and builds up till the end. it gives you the feeling that your trying to escape the mountain king. apocalyptica did a very good version of this as well.

[Uglimusashi]

@northidahonudist

That Simply says that its a cover of the original composers mind...

Thats the way the song was originally written

[EvilFunnyFace]

anderledes

[Hyperion81]

this is NOT "Hal of the Mountain King", but "Prelude to Madness" you fu*ing ignorants.

[imperiallover]

@Hyperion81 Ignorants? Hark at the kettle calling the pot black. This is Edvard Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'...composed in 1875.

[Desatio]

@Hyperion81

Fu**ing ignorants? Moron. This is Hall of the Mountain King (Dovregubbens Hall) by Grieg. You should really check things out before you insult people.

[supermeuhmeuh]

this is actually Prelude to madness, not Hall of the mountain king, ffs

[crazytrain58]

@supermeuhmeuh IT really sounds like hall of the mountain king though... hm

[imperiallover]

@supermeuhmeuh No...it's actually In The Hall of the Mountain King...composed in 1875 by Edvard Grieg...check it out, Grieg beat this lot of clowns to this tune by about a century...ffs.

[budamon82]

@imperiallover with drums

[RHARDBC]

superior version. Epica much better then Apocalyptica. Peace from Ukraine

[axxartz]

its ok actually

[ClimbingFre4k]

I want to be Simone Simons boyfriend...

Cause she is beautiful and she got perfect boobs...not too small and not too big

:D

[Metalhead073]

@ClimbingFre4k *facepalm*

[centinexslays]

@ClimbingFre4k I'm willing to bet that if she reads this, you have a serious chance with her, bro. ;)

[Rocke1985Rs]

Cover´s mother fuckers

[schwebbo]

worst version of this song I've ever heard -.-

[shuckins]

Savatage did a superior version.



[1iveOnEvi1]

Much prefer Rainbows version

[Dirtspawn064]

i was hoping this was a savatage cover. dont like it

[OptimusPrime75]

A cool rendition of Edvard Grieg's 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' from Peer Gynt. As for the rest of you talking about Savatage, yes, Savatage (subsequently Trans-Siberian Orchestra also did it later) did a version of this song on their 'Hall of the Mountain King' album, however, it was titled 'Prelude to Madness.'

[carterspencer]

Apocalypitca did a awsome job at it, but i think Epic kept it in character, so to speak

[FPwoper]

When did they play it?

[smileyorb]

Apocalyptica did it better...still good though.

[GestapoPussyRanch]

Absolutely ferocious!

[02breakthru]

1:47 my favourite part <3

[pireynedor]

Epica is Epic

[msumungo]

Qualified. In everything they do.

[Just11Percent]

J'aime! :D

[deandro985]

edvard grieg <3

[rafaelantonionegrete]

buena version me gusta pero el maestro edvard grieg sigue siendo la mejor de todas

[designerhell]

mustve been played in europe. theyre so well behaved at shows compared to U.S....jussayin

[Fuuin]

Now whoever said instrumental music can't be good?!

[evilspaceinvader]

@Fuuin I doubt anyone in their right mind would say anything that stupid.

[Fuuin]

@evilspaceinvader I would agree, but... this IS youtube.

[Just11Percent]

@Fuuin Not I sir. ^.^

[danielwhitman]

@Fuuin faggy rap kids

[Entrayalicious]

This is great O.o Best of two kinds of music :b

[pacman13434]

ok i'm listening to a savatage vid and notice Epiac is doing a cover version of "hall of the mountain king" which has been releasted be savatage. so, i decide to check it out. i never paid attention to time on the vid. sound really awesome and getting into it, out of nowhere as would think the song would break wild, the fucking thing stopped dead. with damn people applauding. fuck me!!!!! ;(.....

[dansleslimbes]

This song was 49 593 times listened to, and I, I have to listen to it 49 000 times ! Certain musics are too short....

[MrCashizlo]

2:23 the guy on the far right looks like metal micheal cera lol

[cwellerding]

Thumbs up if you know this song from Atari 2600?

[yomammasjokes]

i liked the apocolipita version way better because its like oh my fucking god i cant hear my self think and with this one its all like "that's it???"

[wolfpup233]

As a fan of both Apocalyptica and Epica, allow me to explain how you can tell them apart from not only each other, but the Vitamin String Quartet as well.

The Vitamin String Quartet has two violins, a viola, and a cello,

Apocalyptica is cello and drums.

Epica is guitars, drums, and lots of other instruments depending on the song.

Is it REALLY that hard?

[kw92o]

Kto z Polski, łapka w górę!!!

[greatpowered]

What's so epic about this?I really don't see why this song deserves so many prayers...

[homegrowntomatoe90]

Like it..? LOVE IT! :D

[blasterTC]

i really love it how little the altered it but still made it a really good metal version, gratsh and keep it up

[TheAmazingZdog]

Goes a little too slow for me :(

[David291982ful]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[WitcherRage]

Doesnt sound like epica :(

[NtrMssionHurricane]

Apocalyptica is way better.

[Sotirizz]

Such an intimidating song....

[Helliorn]

foto 2:00 <3



[1983maharba]

Just close your eyes and listen to the drums. Bit a bit... bit a bit playin' with the 'metronomo'... is not a original one, but it's truly a big cover. I said. ;)

[MrCjb1993]

Personally I think its original > Apocaliptica's cover > then this. But that's just me

[Bhazulle]

Good stuff. Thanks for the upload. I have yet to hear a version I dislike, but some I like more then others. Kudos.

[FranzAttlee]

Wow this is shite.

[TheSindrex]

I DOVREGUBBENS HALL!

[Dablid77]

@orions1349 EPICA you asshole

[eyenoose]

@Dablid77 Actually I regret about posting negatively about this, but the only "capslocked" band is SLAYER! ;P Peace, bro!

[GlassDeviant]

@orions1349 If you are so stupid that you can't tell the Apocaliptica version of In the Hall of the Mountain King from the Epica version, you should just stick a hot poker in each ear since they obviously don't work properly anyway.

[Penguincracker]

@GlassDeviant a hot poker? strip poker or poker on a lit candle?

[MasterFeradon]

In The Hall Of The Mountain King belongs to the songs wich everybody knows but nobody knows the name of it. :D

[Dablid77]

@MasterFeradon true! xD

[MarvelReviews117]

@MasterFeradon ive been looking 4 this forever but never knew the name lmao

[noghi]

@MasterFeradon

Edvard Grieg - Dovregubbens hall :p

[GlassDeviant]

@MasterFeradon Maybe nobody in your crowd. Everyone I know can identify nearly any classical piece you can come up with, and none of them are particularly fans of the genre.



[MasterFeradon]

@GlassDeviant Really? :P

[thatswedishguy100]

@MasterFeradon I played this song on my guitar in school, everybody said " oyeah, i know that song, but what is it called?"

My grandmother could tell the name of the song and the writher in about 2 seconds...

[SirCorrino]

@thatswedishguy100 Because it's very well known here in Scandinavia. Most people here in Norway should be able to name both the title and the composer in a heartbeat. Same with Morning Mood (Edvard Grieg if anyone's wondering)

[EDWARDCR]

@MasterFeradon Imagine if sopa passes the congress, then noone would know the name of the song cause there would be nowhere to listen to it and therefore transmit suck knowledge, even for trivial things sopa seems to be a douche law, made by douchebags.

[Uglimusashi]

@MasterFeradon

Nope i fell in love with the Peer Gynt original in 3rd grade music class 30 years ago I know it like an old wife

[MrFjellnord]

@MasterFeradon more like Dovregubbens Hall

[wildbill1]

@MasterFeradon Yeah it belongs to the mighty SAVATAGE!.nobody does it better.

[cubby3o5]

@MasterFeradon Reminds me of most band's albums. Every Motley Crue or Iron Maiden fan knows "Home Sweet Home" and "The Trooper", but do they know the album? Unless they look it up, probably not. I know other examples where people don't know the song name, but I can't think of any names.

[MasterFeradon]

@cubby3o5 Yes, there are many classical songs like Ride Of The Valkyries or that italian song that goes like "Duh! Duduh! Dudududududuh!".

[Sargonarhes]

@MasterFeradon I know it, by Edward Grieg from his Peer Gynt suite #1.

Must say I like Epica's version of it better than Apocalyptia's. Now have they do a version of Gustav Holst's Mars, Bringer of War.

[capatronful]

@MasterFeradon Edvard Grieg? XD

[MasterFeradon]

@capatronful Of course. :D

[irinethehurricane]

BAM!

[TheBrando382]

at 1:37 the last guy to the right looks like jack white

[Arenvir]

5 Intruders were crushed by the mountain king ^^

[quietcountry1]

i love edvard grieg but i must say they can turn classics like this song in a masterpiece!!!!!!!

[WolfgangOrpheus]

[ElCanaldeZomb]

Thumbs up if you think Simones Simmons has a big boobs.

[PurePower025]

[Zurimbarai]

pozdrawiam :) na prawdę nasz język jest chyba stworzony do przeklinania i wyzywania :D

[GOLDIIish]

@Zurimbarai Masz słuszność bracie! :D No cóż w polskim języku jest około 20 przekleństw + te które doszły w ubiegłym stuleciu :)

[LocoRico89]

Makes me more insane...thanks :-)

[TheDirtdiver101]

[richar1979]

[MrSimpsonDude]

[Roman6080]

[Racko94]

@TheMorbidSlayer not even close, unless i wasnt playing Hall of the Mountain King every year for 4 years, and all the Hall of the Mountain King songs are wrong

[JoviAero]

@TheMorbidSlayer do some research dude.

[VicenzoVengeance]

[Dablid77]

@VicenzoVengeance yes it was live, they're awesome!

[jipjipjip2]

@Dablid77 then how in the hell did they get the crowd to shut up?!? :OOO

[Dablid77]

@jipjipjip2 obedient crowd xD

[jipjipjip2]

@Dablid77 xD

[Uglimusashi]

@Dablid77

Mesmerised

[gensNormannorum]

@jipjipjip2 : There are certain pieces of music so brilliant, inspiring or so well performed that respect for musical genius requires nothing less that your complete attention.

I think that's actually written into our DNA.

[ReneIsSoCool101Yes]

@jipjipjip2 Haha either the Sound Engineers recorded it so that while on certain parts of the songs the crowd was silent, or maybe the people just wanted to enjoy good music, which is most likely haha

[DuncanMcLe0d]

@jipjipjip2 With the power of Edvard Grieg, of course! :)

Everybody shuts up when this music is being played!

[hahahajman]

inspector gadget in hell?

[wesmeister1000]

The only thing that I don't like about this version is the pick bass.

[Andrew3434ify]

EPIC (a) !!! <3

[DreamerofArt]

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! ITS SOO AWESOME I COULD CRY :D

[whyUsadbr0]

0 DISLIKES LETS KEEP THIS SHIT THAT WAY

[kollikick]

@whyUsadbr0 you reminded the idiots about the dislikes :( 

[StellatheKat]

@whyUsadbr0 thats no 1900 bro. This generation have: Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. ¿You understand me? This generation music = SHIT.

[TrinTheTarkington]

yes! I love this more than the apocalyptica one!

[CrimsonsDeath12]

Being from Norway i find this really creepy with our troll culture and shit

[enquay]

@CrimsonsDeath12 Not sure if you knew this, but this song was written in Norway I believe :)

[IJPRayaBinSaeng]

Epica is so epic

[martrocksnuts]

Nine Inch Nails version from the soundtrack to the Social Network is my favourite rendition, but this one is a VERY close 2nd!! nicely done :)

[Magic1999992]

I'm a big fan of Hall of the Mountain King, and I have been searching for ages for a good version of a bit of heavy... This is quiet epic! Keep it up! five thumps up from me

[Dablid77]

@Magic1999992 thanks :)

[burnmyfish]

@Magic1999992

Savatage does a mean ,heavy version.

[satanicrawrofdoom]
