Swedish "viking metal" band Thyrfing, 2000.
If you look this up on YouTube, there are versions accredited to other bands, but they are errors. The one alleged to be by Rammstein is actually Nightwish, and the one that's supposed to be Sonata Arctica is really Thyrfing.
I like that song, too. The cover's good, but the pipes and fiddles in the original sound much better than the synth.
ReplyDeleteThe original is still my favorite, too, but I have nothing against the other versions. I found one other cover last night after I made this post, so I updated it (and changed the title). I think I'll make this a recurring feature.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that Thyrfing version is cool. I'll grant that.
