Much of metal bands like Dio, Iron Maiden, and Helloween were inspired by or pay homage to those medieval times singing and making music about legends and myth.
When travelling in Tallinn, Estonia in 2001, I saw a trio playing 'heavy metal' with medieval instruments...That was magical to see this great performance in the old city.
I saw something similar in the Dutch city of 's-Hertogenbosch. A medieval city where annual parades are organized around the famous painter Hieronymus Bosch. a band also played metal songs on period instruments. Also a great light show on the historical square.

Iron Maiden, especially bass player Steve Harris, love Celtic and traditional music. I’d love to hear Algal do some Led Zeppelin songs for the same reason
This version of the song is way funkier because of the slower pace of the beat. Instead of having this running sensation where something is chasing you, it's more like Sneaking through the dark trying not to get noticed by the horrors that lurk within it.

you know what the saddest thing about music is? All the amazing music that got lost in time by various musicians and we will never know what those songs were
I got in a big argument with my Music Teacher when I was 13...

It was just about the people's mentality at the time, so even if somebody composed stuff like this, nobody wanted to hear it back then... It is so nice to see this, and to know that I was right is just the cherry on top.
I had a similar argument with my freshman year music teacher.. I asked him "if "modern music" is still using the same notes and scales from the ages of chamber music and gregorian chants, then why would ANY instrument from past civilizations, capable of playing those same notes and tones, have an inability to play music from today, which is arranged and utilized in a relatively less complicated manner than music from those time periods?"

Name: Algal Class: Bard Skill: Fear of the Dark - Activates Frenzy in allies in a fight against all dark type enemies, decreasing 25% of def and increasing 50% of attack power, 50% of attack speed and 15% of crit chance.
New name idea. "Rage of Dying Light." The buffs don't sound like a "Fear", but more of a berserker losing his control, and deciding that the dark whatevers don't need to exist anymore. As to the numbers, a -25% on Defense is fair, as a frenzied berserker doesn't care who is trying to hit them. All he wants is to stomp a crater in whatever has his attention at the time. +50% to Attack Power and Speed is also fair. When a berserker awakens the fire that sleeps within the blood, he becomes a force not to be trifled with. The +15% to Crit is a bit high, in my opinion, as he really doesn't "aim" it's more of a "damage whatever's in the way at the time."

В Средние века король подарил бы барду кольцо со своей руки и почёт за такое исполнение! Восхищение из России! In the Middle Ages, the king would have given the bard a ring from his hand and an honor for such a performance! Rapture from Russia!
Traveling back in time and showing the people in the 13th century something about real, honest and good music while raising horns up!

@@Segundo_Grande because beer as we know doesn't exist yet, i'm i Right?
the first appearance of beer, was around 4,000 BC, so ... we can say that in a tavern, there was beer. or not?
Well that escalated quickly 🍻
@@eduardomarquesrodrigues7419 Ok My mystake, It's beer as we know it nowadays that's is appearing around 1200-1300 AC, im I right that time?
Always from Iron Maiden, you should cover "Afraid to shoot strangers", the melody and the chord progression are amazingly melancholic.
Fr
holy crap ... i could imagine a whole album of iron maiden like this .... so beautiful
This guy is incredible. I bet Bruce himself would be blown away by this stuff tbh
My God this is impressive.
Fear of the dark is one of my all time favourite songs. Well played this is beautiful.
Iron Maiden's music does not have an age. It has always existed and Mr. Harris, Mr. Murray, Mr. Dickinson gave it light from the Universe's darkness
They're the personal bards of the Emperor of Man
The number of wasted years phantom dance
Goes to show how a great song sounds wonderful on any kind of instrumentation, in the hands of a skilled musician.
Thank you for taking the time to create this version, that means that even without electricity we could still enjoy cool modern music just in case civilization ceased to exist as we know it and instead we had to start living like many centuries ago we did...
Fear of the Harp. Fear of the Harp. I have a constant fear that someone's always playing near.
puritan... ¬_¬
jk
Them twins don't scare me at all... Them Harp Twins...
Sounds Lethal
Fear of the Baaard. Fear of the Baaaaard...
This group really gets the listener involved
Master of all instruments and a high level bard, I salute you!!
The bardic inspiration is high with this one
@@alexbutts2687 That was a level 20 bard rolling nat 20 on performance with expertise, +6 Charisma and 12 on bardic inspiration.
Critical hit
Only thing that would make this better is having Bruce sing with him 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Oh man that would be so magical
I think this would be the most wonderful thing since EVER!
In ancient Gaelic
No, he's singing in our heads..
Listen closely
@@mdzaidhassan8996 oh man, it's true!
1:48 and forward: Absolutely amazing when the flute joins in the medieval tunes
Чувак - ты мастер это шедеврально
Sou brasileiro. E este canal tem o dever de continuar esse trabalho. Por Favor mais músicas de metal no estilo medieval. Por Favor não parem.
This is insanely outstanding. The amount of talent it takes to makes this, man... and the dedication. Holy shit, THANK YOU
Nothing short of magnificent 💥🏆💪
this song has been redone in multiple styles , they all work , Orchestral , medieval , it’s it doesn’t matter all great
This is by far your best bardcore adaptation!
I like his nothing else matters midieval version better
It seems to me that Iron Maiden was made to be Bardcore😂. Amazing
Yes, their music is so good. Also, check out Iron Maiden classical music, it works surprisingly well you won’t believe it!
charles ockholmes I remember seeing a video of Bruce Dickinson and Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) together with a medieval acoustic kind of band backing them and it sounded great
charles ockholmes metal is structured similar to classical music so no surprise it does work.
@@_VenusV jep, especially Maiden uses a lot of medieval modes.
with those 3 guitars no doubt Maiden sounds melodically classic
Wow. This is just freaking epic!
dang right
Alguém fala pra ele fazer o The Devil Went Down To Georgia estilo medieval
@@Carlors01 what?
I never realized how Celtic this song and a lot of Iron Maiden actually sounds. Neat! I love both versions of this song
Imagine eating a meat pie to this in a pub smoking on a long pipe filled with morrocan hash and drinking mead and this guy comes in the tavern
Mead and hash at the same place during medieval times? Seems like a stretch
Youre boring historically accurate comment is stretching out the whole fun of the comment. Here since you like to be picky I'll reword that for ya
Imagine eating a meat pie to this in a modern pub because we got hipsters like this loser who gotta be right, and youre sipping on some good house mead since this isnt medieval times, and smoking on some fuckin loud, and randomly this guy walks in and his music is so badass all the butthurt critics shut the fuck up and listen to the song
Sounds a *tad* too specific...time traveler
@@tristencollins6852 😂😂😂
В Средние века король подарил бы барду кольцо со своей руки и почёт за такое исполнение!
Восхищение из России!
In the Middle Ages, the king would have given the bard a ring from his hand and an honor for such a performance!
Rapture from Russia!
This sounds like it should play during the end credits scroll for a fantasy game / movie / show, and I love it.
Blessed be the algorithm that led me here... I think this was how this song was meant to be performed.
Traveling back in time and showing the people in the 13th century something about real, honest and good music while raising horns up! Getting caught by the inqisition and facing the inquisitor eye to eye. Cursing im and his family, spiting into his face and being burned alive shouting out this song in pride and honor! Very well done.
People like this guy, make the world a little bit better....
Sitting in the Great Hall, listening to this would not have been so bad at all. People must have had fun back in the old times, too!
I've listened to Algal the Bard in my medieval Great Hall themed living room; at last I have the right music to suit my ambience. Thanks Algal!
This man's music ties my heart to his music ❤️
Это лучший кавер. Мне очень нравится Iron Maiden. Спасибо этому парню.
O instrumental mais incrível que já vi do Iron Maidem ❤! Diferente de tudo...fantastico! Saudações 🇧🇷 Brasil!
An excellent production: beautiful, balanced, and elaborate
Love this version 💜🤘🎶it made me feel like i was back in my deceased lovers arms for a short moment in time , until we meet again on the other ...R.I.P CRAIG 💙😇🥺💔 you are deeply missed xo ENCORE 🤗
I never thought "Fear of the dark" would suite for relaxing music , guess i am wrong. Kudos dude. Your interpretations never cease to amaze me. Keep the good work!
Просто и прекрасно... Побольше бы таких музыкантов в наш темный век..
cyka blyat vodka
