I'll never forget the first time I heard this song live, at a gig in Antioch back in 1123. Good times.
At the castle Aaaaagh.... i was there too.
All the 1100's kids remember
I was there too i was drinking beer with the king and queen
Yeh me too my favourite bard lol
Were you the one in the multi colour pantaloons eating the leg of mutton?
Imagine chilling in a tavern in skyrim and this starts playing
My wife plays FF14 and there's a dude who made a bard. Just so he could max out the music skills and play popular music. Just like this channel.
Modders, your turn
How about not in a video game
@@JB-sc3fr Yeah
YES
It's almost as if Metallica covered this version. Goosebumps man 👌
Only took a few centuries....
@@WellImThatGuy And by hitting pebbles of different sizes between them, does it make you go back in time even more 🙉
Them: "What kind of music do you like?"
Me: " 'Tis a bit of a quandary."
Underrated comment.
"I dub thee unforgiven". Even Metallica knew this cover would be done some day.
except he plays: "I dub thee unforgiv" which annoys me a little bit.
@@glp.1337 it's because it's pronounced as "unforgiv'n"
@@TheSignatureK Right? So why doesn't he play "unforgiv'n" instead of "unforgiv"?
Metallica does a cover of this. It’s OK.
That's funny thank you for your humor.
Comment of the day🎯
I'm amazed at Metallica's passion for bringing historical music with a modern twist. Inspirational
@@ScottJB if only I had 10% of Metallica's interpetration skills...
Simply awesome 😎😎
This is what Aragorn was listening to in the corner of The Prancing Pony
Truly a testament to Metallica's composing at the time. When you can do something like this and it translates like it was meant for it, melodies that touch thy soul.
Agreed. I think this is exactly why Symphony and Metallica was so awesome as well.
@@Valyn And why Apocalyptica's covers also work so well!
The first time I saw Metallica was at a party and Temecula California and they were playing in somebody's freaking backyard. This was long before garage days and I knew in an instant that they were special
Why does Metallica fit this style so well
Theres an orchestra band that covers their songs too. Also see Gabriela and Rodrigo
The original version almost sounds medieval. All three parts should be done
Because, while lacking proper music theory education, their composition style leans heavily into classical scales. They sound great with orchestral accompaniment too, check out their live album "S&M"
Music theory is not necessary, in fact not knowing it may lead to greater creativity and originality
Iron Horse also did bluegrass covers of like 20 Metallica songs. It's great
In 1996 my english teacher in Brazil told me: “Metallica always used a medieval language and sound in their songs”! It’s awesome.
@Pedro Sepulveda it's not big, it's huge
Right he was.
COME TO BRAZIL
New songs, old instruments.
It makes me realize that if these instruments were commonplace hundreds of years ago, then people playing them skillfully and collaboratively must have made melodies like these with them. How many such tunes must we have lost to the centuries? Countless no doubt.
But hearing this one I can imagine what it was like to be there, in the corner of a smoky room, where a troupe of itinerant troubadours would regale the peasants with news from afar, stories, and music.
I can imagine what it was like to be there... and I can imagine what it was like to be them. They weren't much different from you and I, just born with different ressources and technology.
I've always fantasized about taking one of them on a tour of our world. Of showing them all the marvelous things we discovered, invented, and built; Of showing them how the windmills transmit their power to copper wires and light up my apartment; How freshwater is pumped through pipes, and wastewater collected; How my computer beams information to satellites hurled around the earth at a speed matching gravity.
And in a way, I can.
Because they were homo sapiens, just like me. We are what they were.
My story is a continuation of their story. All the wonders I experience now, they experience them through us, in a way.

If you are over 30 you'd already be dead back then 🤔😂
@@gen-xboomer9489 nope. Child mortality was high, but tnose that survived their teens could expect to live to their 60s, though half of them probably died due to war, starvation, diseases, or accidents. Still, there were enough people who saw their grand children and a few even their great grandchildren...
The problem is that music sheets were only invented many centuries after writing was... Food recipes survive longer, but even they were rather inprecise as making tutorials was an evolving skill. The same goes for noting down music...
How high are you right now ?
i knew this was gonna be awesome, but dayum... these should in all seriousness be used in medieval movies or something. how awesome would it be to have period music, sort of, but metal in battle scenes? this guy deserves way more subscribers, absolutely amazing.
A Knight's Tale.
Ele merece é dinheiro 😎
YES, It Seriously BREAKS the Normal🥰
Just imagine a medival battle with a bardcore version of Sabaton in the background😂
@@angryhairpeiceI was just gonna say, this would have been perfect for that movie 😂
10 seconds in and it's already perfect
Lol
Hells yes.
it was perfect before it even started
This dude is perfection
Me and the boys jamming out before we go on a Crusade!
DEUS VULT.
@An Appeal to Heaven and to yon lads of pride I say: stay thy hand, and remain e'er vigilant
*sits on horse and weeps*
To me this sounds more like the melody of a prince shamefully traveling home after losing most of his men in battle. No glory, no spoils of war, unforgiven.
And then you hear la ilaha ilalah allah hu akbar from behind the mountains with marching sounds and run away.
Metallica is VERY classically based , James Hatfield is trained in classical composition and it shows through most of their songs, but to transcribe one Metallica song to a instrument that it was not originally intended for is an accomplishment in itself, but this ARTIST has transcribed it across multiple instruments and wow , it just makes what was a already beautiful melody into something 100x greater, congratulations for all your efforts, this piece is absolutely amazing
One of my favorite songs off The Black Plague Album.
Haha, underrated comment! 🤣
Cackled like a witch i did
I bet the king was impressed.
the king went headbanging
@@luthfieyudhairawan3883 yes !!
The King is James
He was Indeed impressed and Impressed he shall be
and as a result he chose not to behead them
Bardcore is slowly becoming my favorite music genre.
Mine too!
There's a part of me that would rather listen to my usual genres/favorite songs in this style rather than their originals. 💞💕
Perfect for my medieval Great Hall themed living room!
I've always loved this song anyway, but there's something particularly haunting about it when it's played this way.
This is perfect for relaxing to after a hard days pillaging.
I would love to hear a Bardcore version of Fade to Black, if you have the time good sir.
Yes!!! 🤘🏻
I second this
Yes please!!!
BEST, most emotive Metallica song ever written. Circa 1984.
Abso frikkin lutely!! 🤘🤘
Шедевр остаётся шедевром на любом музыкальном инструменте!!!!!
0:50 the way the flute does the vocal part is Justice. Brings me back to the medieval times
The boys just passed me the aux. Perfect timing
I laughed at this more than I would like to admit... :D
@@GeorgeD1 glad my Comment had a positive outcome. Travel safe My friend
The boys better like it and ask for a repeat. Otherwise, they are heathens
*Weird thing* : People back in 1077 would appreciate this strange and unique melody
Beautiful thought.
Still do Renny Festivals are awesome. ⚔️
I'm sure this would be a freakin musical success back then
tis unnatural to be so heavenly, best burn them so thy pain, might liberate them of any demons doing the playing of such music. tis what's best for them, it is.
aye a successful they would be, going from town to town they would each have a portion of food and nay go hungry. achieve the greatest success they can, they might catch the eye of a noble that would give them frequent food and trade them among the other nobles when they grew board of them. the lifestyle of success back then is less then on par with the lifestyle of failure now.
going to play this at my dad's wake
died July 30 2022 song fits his life very well
and this acoustic version is just awesome
Sorry I'm late. I just now fell down this rabbit hole. This is, by far, my favorite arrangement of this song.

"You see painting of that legendary knight there? He wasn't born a knight. Far from it. There was a time when no one recognizes him; he was only another innocent child waited to be slain in this cruel cold world. He lost his parents in a very young age, no other warrior trainee can understand him. He almost drink himself to death. But he never stops and drown in it; he fought it out. He fought wholeheartedly, win so many, and lost some too. And in the process, he became the legend that other knight respected, adored by so many as their savior and patron.
And that, young warrior, is why now he is a legend. That is the way of the knight. The way of warrior.
The way of Metal."
The melodies from your mystical lute have left this fair maiden moist and wanting.
Tenac
I will always prefer the one who put himself out there, playing actual instruments and proving he is the actual author of the video, to the ones who hide themselves behind an image more or less related to the content of the video; good job bard.
This song has always had a medieval Celtic sound to my ears, and now someone has made it reality.
I hope everyone out there read "Keltic", not "Seltic" as the former is correct pronunciation.
When a priest cometh to thy hovel to tell thee that thou art sentenced to death because of thy hideous crimes:
Finally the pronouns are used correctly! 😂 (I´m not a grammar nazi btw)
But what hideous crime witchery, owning a hovel, or just being a woman. Thy needs details before putting thou to trial.
@@iwishyouhappinnes1125 For being a woman wearing red no doubt.
@@Motor_Cackle no no if memory serves red is lover, she has otherworldy powers, she is a follower of the virigin Mary, or she is loaded(rich).
Lo, a goode red of swich hue as is hir kyrtle be ful preciouse and costli to attaine! If sche be poure and dwelleth in hovel, thanne hir cryme moste be theft of the aforesaid kyrtle, me thinketh.
This was the best pre- black plague Metallica album.
This channel is weirdly underrated
Forgive me, I have but one like to give and this deserves so many more.
I'd give this a like... But it's already perfect 👌 (69....niiiiccceee)
Thy needest more accounts.
Totally 100% beautiful. Wouldn't be amazing to go back in time and play this song to a medieval audience?
that's right
they'd be like
Hear ye, Hear Ye
Thoust shall here my message
Birth
Life
Metallica
Death
in the year of our lord 1432 it shall be so
I was thinking the same thing, but in truth they'd probably not be onboard, just because it's too far out there for the period. With that said, I'm sure a few medieval peasants would buy into it.
@@banzy3 I think they would
@@banzy3 Why not? It isn't a technology, it is a music. It is available to human brain instantly. They would get it like child who hear modern music first time
Hell yeah 👍
What's so cool about this is that this is a headspace. When a lot of us were kids, these songs were on the radio at the same time we were playing D&D or reading our modules. Our minds were already here, and hearing these tracks done like this feels so natural.
Your music is truly exceptional.
damn thank you for phrasing this, it was a feeling I had but couldn't quite wrap my fingers around it.
exactly... it fits perfectly
Gen X I was a 15 year old Goth when The Black Album was released, Had read LOTR for the 9th time ( making notes in the margin) and played D&D on the Library balcony 3 x a week. Now Im 45 and getting sentimental! 🥲
Boy would I love to hear Unforgiven II and Unforgiven III with the same treatment! Good stuff!
My favorite Metallica song. This version is so soothing.
You have reached the metallica headquarters, please hold, your call is important to us and we will get to you as soon as possible.
Просто потрясающе красиво и прекрасно исполнено.
Я заслушалась.
Спасибо вам!)
Medieval eargasm. Splendid
This song takes me back... 15 years old drinking cherry cokes, dipping skoal berry, playing Starcraft with my friends all night with this playing on the Aiwa. Best of times.
Protoss Master Race!
I'd like to have a CD of this guy's music.
rock edition may be.
Listening to this in 1340s London.
Rings so true😢
30 ans de Metallica et je trouve ça extra ! Bravo ! 👍
This is that kind of pureness this world needs so desperately
Now I need to hear "One".
This way, it sounds better, there is more richness to the sound and the atmosphere of composition is elevated thanks to this. Distortion posing only tramples on the composition quality.
Metal music is timeless.
As always, the format gets stolen. 5 months ago, as if it were a coalition, several medieval cover channels have appeared on UA-cam, but I'll never forget who started it all. As always, the guy who puts a lot of effort gets the least recognition. You're actually playin accurate instruments rahter than midi bases, creating videos rather than using a single pic. I'm sorry man, I'll keep following you rather than them. Never free, never me, won't see what might have been
There is no substitute for real instruments with real talent playing them!
The OG rarely get the dues they deserve
I was about to like this comment, but then I realized it must remain at the perfect like count. Until balance is broken, only then will I like
his sound is way better than those posers anyway...I only listen to his covers :)
There so much bad "medieval styles" out there. Often using modern instruments like synths as well.
Late nineties me would have loved listening to this while playing Baldur's Gate. Also, you nailed that solo!
You're a man of honour. I respect your integrity.
This is so epic!!! This is the type of talent that should pass the 1M subscribers…
I ' ve spent all my day painting the house. This was a true treat
You know something is done good when you can feel like this actually could've been played back in medieval times. Well freaking done!
One of my favorite Metallica songs. Sat here listening to it and singing along.
So true and so beautiful.
If series like The Witcher had such music in it, would be absolutely worth watching neverminding the rest. Such an amazing experience, shifting time and reality, totally dig it
This is the coolest thing I have ever discovered! I've been a huge Metallica fan since middle school (now I'm 40). I think this did Metallica proud!
да в таком исполнении эта песня стала еще более душевной
Two songs in… and I NEED your album!
I’ve wanted to hear this for so long and you actually did it. Thank you! ♥️
ah western guys' music, i heard this song first time while i was gettin' back jarussalem for saladin
Офигено) Как будто саундтрек к Ведьмаку послушал)
Incredible work man, this really retains the emotional tone of the song. It always amazes me how natural these songs sound in this style. Reminds me that across time periods, we're still human and beauty is still beauty. You connect past and present for us in the way that all great bards should. Keep up the amazing work!
I discovered your channel 3 hours ago, and i can't stop hearing this. Old instruments gives so much emotions to songs.
Thank you for doing this.
This is amazing, instantly transports me back in time. Well done ser!
He deserves 100 million followers.
At first I could not believe my ears. Then I could not believe my eyes. When I realized that these songs are not simply instrumental, because you actually play the vocals on the flute I subscribed.
Man if I could go back in time!!! bring this guy with me, get him to teach and spread these songs everywhere, WHERE would music be today?!
That's it, I just discovered your channel and you're quickly among my favorites. I love rock/metal and medieval melodies ❤️
What can I say except "THANK YOU!!!"? You've just given one of the most beautiful songs ever created a lifting. AMAZING!!!
Браво!!! Талантище!!!
You are quite literally the greatest thing to be discovered on UA-cam. Perfect in every way
Absolutely Beautiful
This Is Bardcore Vol2 is coming together quite nicely.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, click one of those first couple links that Algal put in the description.
Clicked the Instagram link, guess I'm doing it wrong.
@@nonfique429 Oops! I only saw the first 2 links.
@@SmartCatDad Nps! I've got what you've meant but wanted to point that out. I see now that is has been edited, I'll take my leave!
I didn't realize that was a thing. Went and bought the first volume right away!
How does a heavy metal band create such beautiful melodies.
the melody was always there, its what drew people to the song to begin with. its just that when pulled out of the trappings of a specific genre you can see that a melody is more than just something that sounds good on a specific set of instruments, it is itself a thing to be admired, music is more than the instruments that make it, there is something primal and ethereal about good music that trancends any one set of rules of how to play it, or cultural set of tools with which to make it.
By being creative. Heavy metal, trash, or death metal all have the potential to create the most beautiful and extravagant harmonies. They just need to have an open mind to find them.
@@patrickcrabb6212 that’s one of the reasons I love heavy metal. And why I tend to gravitate toward symphonic and progressive personally.
Yeah, I'm gonna start using this for DND whenever we're in a tavern
I absolutely LOVE this version!!!
I got shivers listening to this... That, for me, is the highest praise. Great job!
This song really lends itself to the style. 🖤
The Medievaltallica,perfect!Greetings from Brazil!
this is absolutely unbelievable, your talent is unique, i'm shocked by the music, its relaxing, "simple", confortable for my ears, thank you so much for this.
honestly, the unforgiven feels so much sadder in bardcore.
I bet james himself really enjoys this i hope he has seen this
So peaceful and beautiful.
Oh my goodness. Love it!
That's actually really good. I'm surprised how good it sounds. Hat's off!!!!
I would have loved to listen to the medieval solo.
This is one wonderful version of the unforgiven.
Bravo!
Amazing! Great! BRAVO!
You know you have great songs, when they sound just as epic in different formats. This was awesome.
outstanding performance! this only proofs how awsome Mettalica songs are
You made my day... An already perfect song from my favorite band... covered in master-style 👍🏻🤟🏼
Beautiful!
100% captured James's voice in that flute. Absolutely perfect
Just discovered your videos. it is amazing how good the music sounds even on the different instruments. I can imagine the knights of the crusades rockin out to Metallica and SOAD!
I cried .... standing ovation for you , good work, im still crying
Man you just took a beautiful song, and made an all other level of brilliance and beauty into it. Amazing work, please keep them coming!
How class is this?! Goosebumps my dude 🔥🔥🔥
