A bit of background: It's the first single from Saltatio Mortis' upcoming concept album Finsterwacht ("dark watch"), an hommage to German tabletop RPG Das Schwarze Auge (DSA)/The Dark Eye (TDE) for it's 40 years aniversary. The box contains the CD, a novel (one of the authors - Bernhard Hennen - is the one, who dies on the field after handing out the map), a tabletop adventure book (choose your own adventure style) and dice. Saltatio Mortis is a German medieval rock band, but they also mix in different music styles. The second single (Schwarzer Strand/"black beach") and the third single (Feuer und Erz/Fire Ore) are already out, and there are 2 more. There are also (German) making of videos for all of the music videos. Rondra is the goddess of war etc. Finsterwacht (Darkenguard) are a line of towers/beacons in the mountains of Finsterkamm, as last line of defense between the lands of humans and orcs (those are the creatures in the video) at Heldentrutz, a part of Weiden in the Middenrealm at the continent of Aventuria. Their function is to warn the people as seen in the video. Saltatio Mortis (latin for "dance of the death") is the group trying to reach this goal in the video. The video took 4 days of shooting, with a lot of LARPers - which is why they have such good costumes. The choir at the beginning and end is from Prague orchestra. Hansi from Blind Guardian sings at the chorus, sometimes alone, sometimes with Saltatio Mortis' lead singer Alea (the blonde, bearded guy).
The game also comes with ambient music. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a try. Imho a hidden gem. I like "Herzogtum Weiden", "Der Weg Ins Abenteuer", "Uralte Steine" and "Die Schwarzfedern". I've listened to it roughly as much as to the Finsterwacht album itself.
There are several movie-like videos of Saltatio Mortis, with a lot of them referring to Video games. (Not mentioned already was "God of War" with Peyton Parrish.) Now the amazing thing is that up to this one, they did all the productions completely on their own, with help by friends in the LARP- and Cosplay community (save the special effects). "Pray to the hunter" was done that way and it just looks amazing. This time, for the first time, they hired a camera crew as they had to shoot a lot of scenes at night and also could not do this completely on their own anymore. I think it was well worth it. :)
Bruce Dickinson is the singer with Iron Maiden! Hansi Kürsch is the Blind Guardian vocalist and Alea is the singer of Soltatio Mortis, he's the guy with the blond hair. It's an epic song and based on Lord of the Rings I think.
Puno puno hvala, jako sam sretan... ♥️😘☺️☺️☺️ Saltatio Mortis is a German medieval metal group. The Latin name means "dance of death". It is an allusion to the Danse Macabre, and a motto of the band is: "He who dances does not die." Jako te molim da poslušaš obavezno asap Saltatio Mortis - My mother told me i Saltatio Mortis ft. Elder Scrolls Online - Pray to the hunter.... Katastrofalno dobro.. . . 🫣😆 And btw. ova pjesma je danas rereleased na engleskom, samo ako nekoga zanima kako se na engleskom čuje.... Saltatio Mortis ft. Blindguardian - DARKENGUARD Srdačan pozdrav iz Njemačke Edit: zaboravio sam... Prekrasna si... ☺️☺️🫣🫣
Try "pray to the hunter" "my mother told me" or "the dragonborn comes" from Saltatio Mortis. All 3 of them have epic Videos just shorter than rhis one 😊

And there is a 16 minutes version with the story (but only in German atm).
Gut erklärt...👍👍👍
The moment i heard the name Rondra, i knew what is going on. :)

Saltatio Mortis released the english version of the video just yesterday: th-cam.com/video/GPOzqI57d2s/w-d-xo.html
