A cover of Skalds And Shadows by Blind Guardian, of their album 'A Twist In The Myth'.
The first Blind Guardian song I ever heard was The Bard's Song (obviously!) and I was instantly hooked to the amazing old folk sound it has, the beautiful melodies, that I had to find more songs like that!
And that's when I discovered Skalds And Shadows! This is definitely one of my favourite Blind Guardian songs, and I hope I'm doing it at least some justice here!
Admittedly I've been short on time recently so I found a pre-existing instrumental version of this, but still filmed some of the guitar parts just to make the cover more interesting to watch!
That said, this is mainly a vocal cover which I have mentioned in other videos, that I am by no means a great vocalist.
So if you do choose to leave a harsh comment or some criticism, at least tell me how I can improve, and I hope you still enjoy this cover!
