Vox Vulgaris - Rokatan (Medieval Metal cover)

[Rhiza]

Hi guys, today it's going to be something different.
I always liked folk/medieval styled metal, but rarely play it. My culturural background is filled with folk lore and folk music and we uphold cultural traditions as well.
My brother showed me this song and I enjoyed it so much and saw a huge potential in making a metal cover out of it, but still using the original song along the cover itself. Worked out pretty good!
Had to sync the audio via Ableton since they are not playing with a metronome.



This is the original


And I just found out that I misspelled the name of the song, ain't that shit just typical...

This could set a new trend, fine piece of work.

Thanks mate
Have to say that folk metal is very popular in scandinavia.
A local band I know is called "Týr" and they have a record deal with napalm Records.

I must say I really appreciate this kind of genre.... The triggered kickdrum and bagpipes combination got me.

Marrafat, Lol that is just awesome!

Thanks for the kind words.
There are many great folk/viking metal bands out there
