Hey rockers! As requested here's my cover of Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name.
A big shout out to the amazing musicians (mentioned below) who helped me perform this beast, especially since the majority of the song is instrumental... but hey... who need singers?

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low
Running low, yeah
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
Take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that there's some sort of error?
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears fall, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end?
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you"
If there's a God, why has He let me go?
As I walk, my life drifts before me
And though the end is near, I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words, believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah
Being a old-ish time Maiden fan (since 1982), I think this version is awesome. One of Maiden's best songs, performed beautifully. 5 brödrostar!
He's awesome. Hoping for a new Swedish Lemmy Killmister 😂. En legend som är kommer glömmas bort.
Bara här förstår man varför han är där han är idag ❤️🙏
❤️
Trist för originalgrabbarna, men den här sången, och the iron maidens 😅 på yxorna hade varit best ever 😎😁
@@stefanryden7014 why ?
Holy BISCUITS! You held the "running low" note. He held the note! No one holds the note. That was brilliant.
Eric does, easy for him....I have follow Eric since 2010...🇸🇪
I’m a long time fan. Currently 53 and I’ve seen them 8 times. I appreciate the band more than anyone can imagine and that just simply blew my mind . Every singer in the world who thinks his poop doesn’t stink should be wary because Erik sings everything better than they can😊
haha..yes agree..I am 80 and well, I just love them
I'm 47 and grew up with Iron Maiden. Eric is literally the definitely of EPIC.
Agree 100%
@quitondoll@karenschuyler1342 The option to reply to your comments wasn't even there/ available. 🤷🏼♀️ My comments were to you both in order to your comments...
This is insane. One of the best rock voices out there. Can be compared with the greats and there is no question about it.
🙏🏻🤘🏻
He is now the singer in skid row
@ Nagyon nagy vagy, haver ! Az új Skid Row cd-t már rendelem is ! Október? 🤘
Incredible singer!
First time when he tried to do "IDOL" in sweden...they said NO...all 3
Second time..they ALL: ua-cam.com/video/wDIVkeBH8hc/v-deo.html
He is really good singer!
100% agree been a fan for a long time. Second skid row concert within 2 weeks for me in 2 days time
Not only does he have a great voice but he has given the heart back to Skid Row 👍
You might say he’s given a voice back to Skid Row…
😄
Iron Maiden? RESPECT!!!
This guy is an amazing singer. I found him by accident and I'm glad I did.
I found him by accident also ! while surfing the net, and the only reason I found out Skid Row are still going, woohoo ! ! What an awsom singer with a great backstory. Finally they got someone that can actually sing live consistently !
me too
Being a Maiden fan since 1981,Erik killed this,I’ve heard a lot of people trying to cover this and this is one of the best I’ve heard
WOW. I went to a Skid Row concert last night in Reno and that was my first introduction to this amazing young man. I mean, I knew nothing about him but what a live performance he put on! I mean this dudes voice is incredible live and he brought such energy and passion to the stage from the first to the last song, just non stop! I am a fan!
he deliver perfect justice to the song!!! love from nepal 🇳🇵
As a guy who grew up in the 80's listening to Maiden, Priest, Van Halen, AC/DC and Motley Crue to name a few, you just crush their songs and really do them justice and honor them all! Your band is top notch and super talented! Awesome job, gentlemen!
@SinCityVillain absolutely awesome!
Native talent a rise and shine ❤
As An die Hard Maiden Fan I must Say This Cover Is Real Amazing!!! Deep Respect
The old Stars die off and the new ones are Born!
Very few people can take on such a legendary song and not sound foolish attempting it. Then along comes Erik who makes it seem easy! Excellent rendition! Your voice is as legendary as this song!
Beautifull Peace, Ty Great whale that saved jonah so we could be here to hear this! great job erik and jona and rest. Luv the light your artestry puts on the world around.
There is no song, no genre, no style that this young man cannot sing. Stunningly good!
Super talented guy loves music surrounded by super talented friends. It’s Magic 😮
Erik is awesome!
❤️🔥A masterpiece 🤘Your voice is absolutely amazing, and the guys 🎸🥁 are really great❤️🔥
Best cover of this song I ever heard... Vocals, guitar, bass, drums - all top notch!
It’s hard to do Justice to a Bruce song and you did my friend. Killer!!!
The bassist is 100% on the money. Not just the playing, but the look too! I think dude is surfing in the Caribbean as I comment! :)
I love how he gets into it like we all did in our bedrooms back in the day when we would blast this one.
ChatGPT:s resume of this cover: Erik Grönwall's cover of Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is widely considered to be one of the best covers of the song. Many fans appreciate his powerful and passionate vocal performance, which adds a new dimension to the classic track. He brings his own style and energy to the song while still maintaining the original's essence. The cover has also garnered praise for its production quality and musicianship.
Truly the best cover I’ve ever seen/heard… EVER!! Immaculate vocals, spotless instrumentals, and he looks like he’s having so much fun!! Up the irons, with perfection, Sir Grönwell! You, my friend, have captured brilliance!🤘🏻🤘🏻
Have to agree , one of the very best..
Agree, the only band that can do it better, well it's Iron Maiden
Now this is real talent, no auto tune, no computer crap. Just pure raw instruments and singing! This guy is awesome, Mr Gronwell if u see this, can U please do a cover of Come Sail Away? That would be awesome
Yes I mean the Styx song come sail away
Look at his audition on Sweden’s Got Talent when he does 18 and Life acoustic…it’s not human. The judges just laugh and Magnus Carlsson says “I’ll put it this way: I’d give my right arm to have your voice”.
@@thatsmeinthepic❤
Erik is so damn good everyone is forgetting to mention how good the instrumentals are 😂
Thing is, countless people can play the instrumental but very few can sing like this…
Yes! INSANELY GOOD.
This happens when professional swedes are locked in a recording studio long enough. It is the musical equivalent of "Stockholm Syndrome".
Sometimes they call it ABBA.
Sometimes the world doesn't get to now 💔
Reference: I am a swede who works in the entertainment industry.
@@TheDavidist the musical equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome would be a rock singer locked in a studio with trap rappers and finally recording a grime album😂😂
I'm late to the Erik party, but so glad I found you when looking for "Run to the HIlls" covers. From there I've begun an incredible journey listening to your remarkable talent. Your tones shake up everything! So glad your professional life has brought you the fore. I'm an old guy who lived and loved the heavy metal days, and you have resurrected them - with a new twist that does you so much credit. The musicians you have are totally gifted, too, and I've replayed the videos with them just to hear each of their skills. Good luck, thank you, and I am a total supporter!
I only discovered Erik now that he's with Skid Row. Incredible singer and performer.
Same here I am going to see skid row in September. Erik is without a doubt the best vocalist I've heard in recent memory. Amazing, there is nothing he can't nail. Not many can pull off maiden simply because Bruce is in a class above but, bygod Erik did it without a doubt
Oh yeah! Keep Rockin’ Erik! This song is on the gold standard “can you rock” list for me!
I ddn't know Erik had health issues. Prayers, for full recovery.... We need talent like this in this world...
Recovered from his cancer recently and just finished some new covers; 'Holy Night' and 'House of the Rising Sun', for example.
Brilliant. Erik is one of the most talented singers in all of metal! What a great performance!
In all metal!? 😂
My favourite song performed by an incredible voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, well done to all of you. You all did this awesome song justice, and the singer was excellent. His mixed voice was awesome, and very hard to do.
Well done 👏
I've said on another maiden cover that he was the best metal vocalist and you more than smashed it. The more I listen, your vocals are incredibly similar to the point I don't think a purist could tell the difference. Awesome
First time I heard this song was last week through you. I was freaking blown away!!!!
Holy hell, you've got some pipes, Erik. Like many others, I heard about you through Skid Row, and you've gained a new, life long fan out of me.
That note held. 😱
How are you so precise with replicating the original ... but, have far more crisp and intelligible articulation. Extraordinary!
This is the best cover of this Maiden song I have heard I have been a Maiden since 81 and seen many of their concerts from the 80s I'm 58 and still go see their shows
I’m 60 and I still go and see Maiden. Been a fan since the early 80’s too
Have you heard machine head version
@@owen2948 😆
😄
I have seldom heard anyone who can match Bruce, especially the long note... It's a very difficult song to sing..
Bravo sir, Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏
Love it! Nailed the vocals🤘🏼
Phenomenal
Thanks Erik from bring new air to those classic anthems !!!!
Herrejävlar !!!!! Du e så sjukt duktig och du har en röst och ett register som vi vanliga dödliga inte ens funderar på ! Hoppas på en Sverige turne ..
Holy shit! Just when i think your vocals can't get any better.... you are the man! You all did a fantastic job!
Ummm,wait, what? Dooood! I'm so glad I stumbled onto this epic cover. You totally slayed this song! The vocal was outstanding, the band was Schralping! And y'all nailed it down! Great job! May I suggest a cover of "Where eagles dare"? 👏 Bravo,buds!
Badass.
His voice is transcending! ❤
I've watched this video a dozen times. And I'm just commenting now. And everything I watch it gets better and better. Erik, your voice is off the hook!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Wow! And the joy on Eric's face says everything.
You are not from this planet.
I'm amazed.
what a voice 🤟
Shocked, man! I'm just in shock! Great vocal on HBTN, Erik!! Wonderful, bro!! Oh, and of course, congratulations to the musicians too. Bravo!
The original vocals by Bruce are truly awesome and very hard to beat but you've came a very close second indeed with this version...brilliant
I saw Maiden when I was 19 years old and met the band and well let's say we had a great time! Steve was the best! Flew me back to Seattle from Portland 😊
Man this is so good...the best vocal cover of this classic! Cheers!
Absolutely Beautiful job covering this ERIK GRÖNWALL AND BAND!!❤❤❤❤❤
I LOVE THIS! 🤍 I had the biggest smile through the whole song - I’ll come back to this video anytime I need a real power boost! Thank you for existing and sharing your talent, Erik! And hell - thank you Iron Maiden for creating such a killer song! 😃👏👏👏
And the musicians in the video surely did an awesome job too - THANK YOU ALL!
Hell yes and he something special and his band. They kick ass and song just good as Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden was an iconic band in my life time and in the 70-80's. Thanks for the awesome performance Eric.
Holy sh*t. Nailed it. What an amazing voice, one of the best rock voices in the world I think.
Maiden fan I 100% approve ❤
Brilliant 🎉
Hey man,CONGRATULATIONS on getting the spot in Skid Row!! A true testament to vignot only the vox but also the huge SAVVY to be able to hang with the big boys. Press,writing,interviews, and general professionalism that the industry requires. Godspeed to tou for.a very lo g and successful career!!
Uffffff Guauuuuuu¡¡¡ Erik the Great fantastic cover brutal 👋👋🤘🤘
I caught myself holding my breath when you started that "running looooooo...www" at 00:53, because it felt like you would never stop. Genius. Brilliant singing. Props also to ur fellow musicians. You all do a fantastic job!
WOW! Glad I had the chance to see those pipes two weeks ago! Those pipes don't leak!
WOW!!!! I LOVE this cover so much….You have a GREAT voice Erik!! 🔝🔝🔝❤️😎💪🏽 FANTASTIC performance!
ZERO butcher to this one, awesome job brother! WOW up the irons 🤘
Hello Erick, I see that you are fully and recovered, I am very happy and that you have not lost an iota of your strength, encouragement and congratulations for the new version, as always, of 10.
Mind-blowing😲
Amazing 🤩
Usually not a fan of vocal covers but this is great! Good job!
AWESOME ❤🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is the first cover of this song that reaches to the original - very well done!!! If Bruce Dickinson should ever get troubles singing, Erik could help out…
Bruce's best Voice is Raphael
Watch this -> ua-cam.com/video/oCs53FJgI64/v-deo.htmlsi=9CUfeLV63UaaOPqh
Erik, du borde verkligen släppa den här versionen till fler plattformar som Spotify och Apple Music! Sjukt bra version!!

Brilliant no more words to add
Thanks for keeping rock like this alive! You were great in H.E.A.T. But I love that your with Skidrow! Keep killin it!
DUDE YOU RIVAL THE BEST 100%
Men jävlar Erik! Om Bruce behöver en stand in så.. jävligt fett! Gillar att du körde ditt ”egna” sound, funkar svinbra! Och Big up till grabbarna på instrument såklart!
Instämmer till 100% med föregående talare! 🤘😀
Eric makes so much pride of being swedish!! Eric, du gör oss stolta!!!
Excelente tributo a Maiden, saludos desde Argentina, Hell yhea!!!!
The band is great. Not easy to make a good Iron Maiden cover but they did. Many props to all of you!
Best musicians and singer in the world!! Amazing ❤❤
You are too kind! Sorry for the delay on this comment ;)
First concert, Fresno, California spring 1984. Iron Maiden on the powerslave tour, Twisted Sister opened. Bad ass show. Aces high was the opening number. This was one of their last songs. Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner was surreal. Eddie running on stage 8 feet tall. Last song the Sphinx behind the drums slip vertically and an Eddie torso 30 feet tall wrapped like a mummy tilted forward and shot fireworks out both eyes over the crowd. EPIC.
As a long time Maiden fan, this was awesome!
Fantastic. 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome and fantastic Job! Bruce will be jealous about your voice! You bring me back to the time when I was a teenager listening to my first Heavy Metal Album. Big compliment also to your colleges on the instruments!
I don’t think Bruce will be jealous!!
Bruce jealous 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Better than the original.
Favorite song of the familly at home...
Amazing cover of one of Maidens best songs.
Fantasic vocal range, the drums though…
Fantastic Eric!
Your voice is one of the best in the world that could come out from a talent. Great Erik!!
One word to describe this respectfully covered Maiden song, , , Inspirational. I haven't heard, or even been interested in anyone covering them,. , Until now. Excellent control and support while navigating this song brother. Congratulations on landing the Skid Row gig, an old fan here that only liked their "studio stuff" back in the day, again until now ? ! ! Look after yourself and all the best for your recovery from your marrow transplant ,future career and family, you got a new fan here in Australia, well done . Troy
How enjoyable was that ? Well, very ! Amazing singing as always, this is a song that I´ve carried with me almost 40 years now., it is just so special. Props to the musicians too, guitar solo was refreshing, he made it his own, without loosing too much originality. And bonus point goes to Jens, as I´m listening this with my AKG K 240 headset, it looked good on you too, Jens :-)
Erik’s vocal control is absolutely insane
Outstanding performance, guys! Erik, what can I say.. I just think that, your voice is one of the best in the music world!
Wacka... thanks Alessandro. Amazing compliment.
Awesome......been a fan of Iron Maiden since 1980...now I am 51...🤟🤟🤟
Awesome to see, my favorite current singer singing my favorite band of all time.. amazing
Min favoritlåt med Maiden. Inte många kan konkurrera med Bruces fantastiska pipa, men Erik kommer så nära det går! 👌🏻🙌🏻
Omg now your talking ❤️ covering one of best bands around, your voice is absolutely amazing you could sing anything also the musicians playing are amazing too🤘
The musicians are amazing! Thank you for the comment.

Iron’s Up!!!….My fav band…and you did amazing with the vocals, and the bass and guitar were so fkn good as well!!! Rock on!🤘🏻🤘🏻
This is Life!.....What`s supposed to Be......Love.....Fire.....and Power......Thank You Erik.....Just Thank you for everything....❤
I really have no words. Amazing rendition.
No doubt that you are one of the best rock singer in the world.
All the best for u Erik ❤️
