Interviewer: So Colm, what genre of music do you produce?
Colm: Yes.
I: umm.. and your vocal range?
C: Yes.

Damn dude... This got me 🥵😍

So Colm can scream now too. The man has no limits to his voice... What's next, is he going to admit to us that he also beatboxes.
Amazing version of the song and expression of talent.

Hey guys!

This poem, Þat mælti mín móðir, was written in approx year 917 by my great great great... (repeat "great" 26 times hehe) grandfather Egill Skallagrímsson. I am his direct descendant 28 generations up (like probably a large chunk of Icelanders alive today, haha).

Egill Skallagrímsson was born in Iceland in the year 910 and is the main character in one of the most famous Icelandic Sagas, "Egils saga Skallagrímssonar". He was the son of Skallagrímur Kveldúlfsson, who emigrated from Norway. They settled in the West of Iceland and the farmhouse Borg is where they made their home. The small town of Borgarnes, a stone's throw away bears the name of farmhouse. Egill was quite the character. At the tender age of 7, he was playing sports with the neighbour's kid, Grímur Heggsson that was a strong 11 year old, and Grímur was giving Egill a hard time so Egill just killed him. As you do... haha. That's what vikings do. haha. After this his mother told him he would make a fine viking and Egill wrote this poem on that occasion.

It should be noted that the Icelandic language has changed very little since that time. Here's Egill's original poem (1st vers), followed by the modern Icelandic version:

Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupa
fley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa upp í stafni,
stýra dýrum knerri,
halda svá til hafnar
hǫggva mann ok annan,

Það mælti mín móðir,
að mér skyldi kaupa
fley og fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum,
standa upp í stafni,
stýra dýrum knerri,
halda svo til hafnar
höggva mann og annan,

Okay I was wondering if I heard a hurdy-gurdy and then I saw it and yes. I cannot express the yes. Everything about this song is beyond perfect, from the vocals to the instruments. Colm is a modern bard capable of anything and I love it.

Colm and Peyton Parrish is the duo we need on some Viking songs

Another cover of an amazing song from the people i can call my own and if it will be in Old Norse it will hit close to home. Knowing you Colm, we listeners will not be disappointed. Keep up your work and god bless your voice i want it so badly.
Edit: After hearing this i can truly say that it brought warmth to my cold Scandinavian heart. Hearing you sing with such passion and power in a language that layed the foundation for the language i can call my own. Really amazing work on this one Colm. Worthy of a seat in Valhalla and the halls of Odin.

The more I listen to your music, the more convinced I am that you can sing literally anything. Your range, showmanship, and ability to cross genres with ease are amazing skills.

I love Colm's first cover of this song. Simply performed, and all the more beautiful for it. The old Norse version is haunting and powerful, wonderful show case of Colm's lower range. Then there this, I'm not even sure what to say about this third cover but I had a big smile on my face the whole time. A stunning piece of work!

Still listen to your old norse cover on a daily basis and I really can't wait for this one. Gotta admit, I never really listened to a lot of metal so I'm just getting into this genre but the combination sounds great:)

One of Loki's nicknames was "fire hair". I can't help but feel but he's somehow channeled in the screams of this song. Freaking AWESOME rendition of this song!! Gave me the chills!

The pronunciation is a bit off with a couple of the words, particularly in the vowels (which is understandable if you're not a native speaker of the language), but all in all, good effort!

The chills did not leave, only increased with time
I'm so glad I get to add this to my spotifly viking list
You have a surprisingly good scream-sing voice! Is there anything you CAN'T sing?!

After your last Celtic Rock video, I am looking forward to this one. I was always interested how one of you Bass-singers fit in the Metal-context. Cant wait for tomorrow 🤘
