Continuously coming back for the last 10 years. And will keep coming back in the hopes this will never be deleted. Why on earth isn't this on Spotify (or anywhere else)? Just beautiful.
I come back here as well (but I also downloaded the song from here, just to be sure...)

Seriously... who the fuck dislikes this kind of music? My mind can not comprehend why would someone, who likes the original, would not like this amazing cover.
_I literally listened over a hunderd times to this._ I fucking love the way emotions are expressed in this video, instruments and vocals. *This is simply brilliant.*
I would have guessed that instrument would be Russian Gusli, because I've seen one that looks just like your instrument. More traditional kanteles (Finnish kantele / Estonian kannel / Latvian kokle / Lithunian kanklė) look a little different in shape. It's hard to keep track of these instruments because the shapes of their bodies vary a little and they can also be tuned to each other differently, like guitars. But anyways, those are perfect instrument for Folk Music.
We are releasing our original music video tomorrow featuring one of our folkier songs; we just like to make music, whether it falls into one category or another doesnt concern us!
Yeah, the really high notes are on the mandolin and melody harp. Also, the song is played with the capo on the 3rd fret. We forgot to bring the capo with us on the trip to film the video, so...
We LOVE Wintersun... we listened to Time I on the way to the hospital when our son was born... and now I'll be walking down the aisle to this version of my favorite Wintersun song... though it's super hard to pick a favorite song from them for me...Xanthochroid could not have done a better more beautiful rendition of this song, they kept the integrity and meaning of the original while giving it a different sound, they're voices are so majestically beautiful, and they're instrumental playing just makes you lean back and close your eyes... beyond perfect gentlemen!

Where's the 14 hours long sleeping version of this?
The version of this song is so damn good it makes me feel like I'm just gonna pass out because I just can't handle how fucking beautiful this is! Keep it up guys!
Thank you Wintersun, for introducing me to Xanthochroid. Cheers from Rio Grande do Sul, south of Brazil (where we have cold and snow, believe it or not)
Linda versão, não me canso de ouvi-la. Achei muito superior à versão do original, bem harmoniosa e as vozes são igualmente encantadoras. Parabéns vocês possuem muito talento. Sucesso e vida longa.
@turskakuikelo well, since the melody harp was in g minor and that's an annoying key on guitar for this we needed the guitar in GCFBbDG and we didn't have a capo so we tuned the fucker UP and minor 3rd haha
Night gathers, and now my watch begins It shall not end until my death I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children I shall wear no crowns and win no glory I shall live and die at my post I am the sword in the darkness I am the watcher on the walls I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn，the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come...
Any chance you guys are gonna do a full folk album? Your symphonic stuff is great, but I keep coming back to the Covers EP because it's fucking awesome.
I am an American and I grew up in the 1970s'. I do not think that I can listen to American bands again after this. You people are so much more... amazing, musically. I grew up on early metal (back then it was Black Sabbath, Deep Purple ). OK, Five Finger Death Punch is OK but.... they are nowhere in your league. I understand that you are not playing metal but, you are.
+Dale Subic It's the spirit of people, ancestors and lands enchanting this song.... The original is pretty epic and powerful (the entire Time album of Wintersun is epic and symphonic). But thhis rendition is still carrying the level of feeling higher. It's so mezmerising. I am part Nordic, hearing such song is so chilling and touching. It makes me cry, laugh, feel humble and great at the same time.....
+ServantOfOdin I know what you mean as well, I'm from The Netherlands the pagan brother country and the feelings you have is what I feel. To get to know partly what our ancestors must have felt :) Which is personally why Heidevolk is my favorite along with others (obviously). It's great for me to see everytime people recognizing the wonder and beauty their own country has ^^
OppertunisTzz _ So true. After returning to the spiritual ways of my ancestors, I feel far better than ever before. Seeing the modern world, with it's twisted and egocentric workings, I am more and more abhored at what we created.
Originally it's by a melodic/symphonic death metal band called Wintersun, the singer used to be in a legendary folk metal band called Ensiferum, Wintersun mainly do epic symphonic ballads with awesome harmonies and melodies.
its like an octave and a half. and I don't think it is truly a kantele. I bought it at a children's toy store it was called a 'Melody Harp' but it is the same idea :)
This cover is awesome. Fortunately bands like yours exist to save the honour of music. I fall asleep every night with this song in the ears, with smile. Your band is fantastic, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and sorry for my bad english. A french, who loves Xanthochroid.
@@elrohir0 Folk music is pretty fucking awesome, well anything sounds good when compared to black metal which is pretty much the worst style in the world.
@@AgreeToNotAgree it can be done well sometimes. It’s just always mixed really poorly except ironically these guys who did a really good cover of harvest (still not a huge fan of black metal vocals though)
An epic cover, with this amazing accoustic sound, capturing all the solenity, like I'm feeling the pure whiteness of snow. And surprisingly enough, a very good use of accordion, probably the instrument I hate the most but not here.
god damn it, i was looking for wintersun's land of snow and sorrow 'cause i was missing my hard drive, and i found this. and this is way above awesome. i'm gonna go check the rest of this bands stuff, seems pretty awesome :D
Agreed, well done! ;) We enjoy this cover!

You should gibe them a record deal🥰

Really?! :)

Back in 1199 , when I was young this song was really popular.

Wow 10 years old, but gold! 🙂👏
As a Finn, I salute this band for using the national instrument of my country. Glorious kantele!

this is probably the best and the most original WIntersun cover by now!
Most original cover in general! I'm haunted by this version.

indeed!
wow this was past its time. this is the peak of music.
_I literally listened over a hunderd times to this._
I fucking love the way emotions are expressed in this video, instruments and vocals.
*This is simply brilliant.*
Totally agree!!
I love Wintersun and this cover not only respects their work but adds a more atmospheric and folk mood to the song! Superb!
4ish years later, I'm still listening to this.
Seit gut drei Jahren das letzte Mal hier verweilt und nun weder hier. Ein Cover das Erinnerungen weckt.
The instrument everyone is asking about is called a "Melody Harp", and yea it is just a really small Kantele. You can bay one for about $40
I would have guessed that instrument would be Russian Gusli, because I've seen one that looks just like your instrument.

I was skeptical at first, with Winterusn being one of my favorite bands. But damn. Good job.
Please check out more of our original stuff :) links are in the description
ALL DAY
I just melted, it sound so cold to me, but gives me a warm feeling at the same time. Just wow....
The version of this song is so damn good it makes me feel like I'm just gonna pass out because I just can't handle how fucking beautiful this is! Keep it up guys!
Perfect description of how I feel about this song 🖤
So Beautiful...
3:29 I laughed my ass off.
"Snowball fight, Muthafuh!!"
I still can´t believe how perfect is this!
All respect from Turkey. It's winter and snowing.
Thank you Wintersun, for introducing me to Xanthochroid.
Cheers from Rio Grande do Sul, south of Brazil (where we have cold and snow, believe it or not)
Great cover! this version is magnificent...
Its soooo fucking awesome, guys! Especially both voices together.
fuck, need to play it over and over
Synchronized. ;)
Więcej Tego!
Zajebisty cover ale najlepszy ich to Harvest
Najlepszy utwór tego oto zespołu.
I've known this song for a few years now and I always keep coming back to it because it's so damn pretty
I'm a writer and I must say that this song always inspires me when I'm writing. Amazing, guys.
Paola Cardoso Bit late but what do you write about? I'm a writer too!
I write high fantasy campaigns for dnd
This song inspires me to keep writing even when I hit a barrier that halts me
Me toooooo!!!!
I come back every now and then to listen to this awesome cover
Really good cover!
absolutamente :))
Much better than the original one.
Juan Palacios lol... ok the stupid comparisons started..
Juan Palacios how the fuck can you compare this with original?!
This isn't even metal song!!(not saying it is bad tho)
It's been so many years and I still love this version! ❤️
Linda versão, não me canso de ouvi-la. Achei muito superior à versão do original, bem harmoniosa e as vozes são igualmente encantadoras. Parabéns vocês possuem muito talento. Sucesso e vida longa.
Superior? Excelente, mas diferente, não superior.
Holy Odin! That's awesome! Perfect!
love the guy with dark hair, his voice is awesome
i can listen to this all day merrymaking in the woods, so beautiful
@turskakuikelo well, since the melody harp was in g minor and that's an annoying key on guitar for this we needed the guitar in GCFBbDG and we didn't have a capo so we tuned the fucker UP and minor 3rd haha
Still coming back to this masterpiece!
Eu amo tanto essa música ❤️❤️
i cannot decide which part of the video/ song should i fall in love with.
Night gathers, and now my watch begins
It shall not end until my death
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory
I shall live and die at my post
I am the sword in the darkness
I am the watcher on the walls
I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn，the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,
for this night
and all the nights to come...
congrats on wintersun finding this and advertising it! truly an honor.

Vacker tolkning av Wintersuns låt!!!

ah it's so beautiful! i listen to this nearly every day
Still listen?

Amazing I want to learn this song on acoustic but i need tabs :/
I'm attempting to learn it by ear, but it's pretty tough
Bruce Bales It's in Drop C if that helps at all.
DiffusalGaming It is in the wintersun version. But is it in drop c here?
It's in Standard E in this version
This is seriously the greatest thing ever.
TABS PLEASE!
love that sound at 0:00 when his hand is like swiping against the strings. Dont know why, i just love it when ever i start this song.
what a beautiful sadness....... :´)
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.
Maybe it was the song choice, very well could have been their faces; but I instantly like these guys.
i love vocal, video, all exept 3:30 in the video...
Its typical for metal guys :D
Mati Bolesta LOL :P
Hahahahha! I know, right? Damn xD
i saw these guys at last nights wintersun concert in Anaheim. they handed me a free sticker and business and told me to check them out. here I am. :)
They're so much better as a folk band than as a black metal band
But they're both? It's not like they're anywhere near raw black metal...

Sam looks like Khal Drogo. And Matti looks like Viserys with longer hair. Anyway, awesome cover!
Beautiful voices, beautiful faces and so much talent. Like damn.
Why do you guys make black metal when your clean vocals are that awesome? o.O
There's a really good variety of cleans and shrieks in their original stuff, and Sam's harsh vocals are also pretty awesome
because their black metal vocals are equally as awesome
also why not both?
It'll be a while before we tour, but we do have plans to in the future!
We are pretty normal, non-important loser musicians. Though we are kind of funny-lookin'
SILLY GUYS, THIS IS A GIANT LIE 🤥
It's amazing how much Ensiferum there is in this version, Jari you sneaky beast.
ragnar and rollo

You guys need to make more folk music! I love this song and I need more! Thanks for the awesome tunes and please make more!
