December 1528.. still listen to this.. i lost my horse 2 months ago but this song gave me hope again, nothing else matters
So instead of riding, whilst walking you hum to yourself, "Wherever I may roam" to break the monotony...
Man you came from the future... Cause it's still 1521. 😜
That's Renaissance no Medieval
@@pni2009 still kinda close
sucks
imagine this guy time traveling and playing this for the people in the medieval times
This guy would be rich
make the king cry
Imagine the frequent flyer miles....
Squire: Sir, ye odd traveling bard plays once more his music, but Sabbath doth not commence 'til next morrow.
King: 'Tis not the proper work of our Lord. The man is an apostle of the Devil.
Squire: What be thy recommends as remedy?
King: Another crusade
This guy: *playing too well*
The king: BURN HIM, BURM HIM NOW!
Beautiful music is eternal. You can play Metallica on medieval instruments, like you can play Beethoven on rock guitar...
on Please Mr. Postman, the chords are pretty simple:
A
F-sharp minor
D
E
Ever heard Crazy Train played by a string orchestra? Epic.
totally agree 🙏🎵
@@angelamercedes5136gonna check that out thanks for mentioning it.
That is because music speaks to the Heart of all Humankind. Its of our Spirit as Human
It was 1120 to 1123, and those three years were tough all over. It was music from the bards, and the goodness of good folk that pulled us through while the royals made life hell for others.
Medieval style music is as fresh as it gets nowadays.
Ironically
Check out Andrey vinogradov his songs are dope
When everything (very) old is new again!
Word
Unfortunately it's just the sound, not the style. Medieval music is pretty awesome nevertheless.

10/10 comment. Couldn't stop laughing there for a bit
@@inferno0_081 same here. Back to the future qoute. Love it. Needed it when things are so fkd up right now. Grazie!
😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏
This is beautiful. The flute is really soft and not overpowering and ear shattering.
Flute?
I don’t think it is flute, it looks like “Ney”
Low whistle - flute
Flutes are only ear shattering when played wrong
Thats why the internet was made for...
To find gems like this!
I just discovered your channel and its awesome.
the Internet uses a dark section-for the most part...
with spam people get, most companies ignore the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003
Most can agree that Wooddica were an iconic band back in the day

Nice
😂
Okay you deserve a like
Classic heavy wood
When you have survived the Black death plague but all your family died
:'( you made me cry now.
Hats down...You've got my respect mate
Best comments runner up
OMG that is perfect XD
and nothing else matters.
Sitting by the fire, my lover and I listening to this while sipping whiskey. 😌
Wow!! 🤯 And I thought Apocalyptica did an awesome job of this song. This guy makes it sound like this is the way it was originally supposed to be played/heard. Love it ❤️🤟
Yes! Well put. It felt as if this were the original and Metallica's is the cover, and not the other way round.
When your entire party dies and the only one left is the bard
It's not an accident.
That spoony bard!
Favourite comment of the week
I so wish you could bookmark or do something more with great comments on CZcams
FFIII in a nutshell
"Nigh Else is of Import"
Performed by the travelling Bards of the Metallican Region.
*Naught
Nigh is "close" or "near", I think. For example, "The end is nigh". Still, funny :p
The time of contempt is nigh
Best comment of the day ahhaha
Noght Ells Materen
This is not just music.. this is time travelling
There is one thing that matters, this cover is a masterpiece.
I'm thirteen years old. I survived the black plague and my best friend is a goat. We love music like this. We were born in the wrong generation.
Same tho...although my friend is less a goat and more this one large copperhead that wont leave my yard yet has no intention of harming me. He sits in my planter bed in the heather just beside the junipers and lilly of the valley. I feed him sometimes
Im milking a goat right now lmao...no joke
@@FUCKINbobby 🤣🐐
How fortunate then that this is a timeless piece, which Algal the Bard certainly has proven. :)
hahaha! fantastic comment! You dear young sir have won at the internet. Meet my new hero, and his trusty companion the goat! From this day forward I shall listen closely when bards speak and sing of the adventures of Robert the Davidson and his trusty goat!
Ah yes, the medieval LED tom drum. One of my favorites.
The bodrain)sp?) was in ye olde repaireth shop.
I laughed too hard at that one hahaha thanks man
Hahahaha
do better
These are the glowing spirits of the elders
Literally using this channel for modern song requests to a bard in my D&D campaign
a fantastic sound track for my D&D sessions... I have always said that the bard is the coolest D&D class...
Alas, you be mistaken, methinks. Me preferred Dungeons and Dragons class be the Paladin, me friend.
@@leecluster3437 I'm sorry, I'm not from England... This way to speak sounds like Jar Jar Binks from star wars
This bardcore trend is really just humanity shaping itself up for the post-apocalypse.
There is no Golden Age without the Dark Age
but what will we call it today?
@@kylebluch The Core Age

@@jameswellman5381 yes.
I hope every time Metallica covers this you get royalties.
😂

Don’t upload it to Napster whatever you do
Hahaha
:D
Music is truly timeless. I honestly think if Mozart and Beethoven were alive in recent times they would have been Metal.
Let me know what drugs you are using lately 😂😂😂😂😂

@@_MadFox desejo o mesmo pra você, em dobro 🙏 LOL
@@SidneiMV😂😂😂, ты даже не умеешь пользоваться Google Translator?
The main riff of this song was always kind of Bardcore, so this takes it all the way
Ever since Corona became widespread Medieval music started making a comeback
I think you're right. It has started popping up for me only recently aswell 😂
We are destined live the humanity's story agaim
controlled cycle ending - we're going back so the ones 'above' don't reset us themselves
Don't call it a comeback. It's been here for years. Lol.

As with all music written from the heart it will transcend all time forwards and backwards
We need someone to stick this in the background of a banquet scene in a medieval TV show or film. People will be watching and all of a sudden ".....hang on...is...?.....Is that Metallica?!...."
Can definitely see this in Westworld
Season Two of the Witcher should be all Medieval covers of famous songs.
@@hanburgundy4317 They did it in that Heath Ledger movie, so why not?
lolol or "Na, wasn't a fan of anything after puppets to be honest"
I can see this in the Witcher on Netflix for sure
A Metallica song that was practically made to become bardcore. Excellent choice.
Everything was made to become Bardcore.. I am now convinced. Change my mind :D

when i learnt to play i just ended up playing it on my acoustic cus i broke some connections on my electric and needed to get it fixed, i always thought it sounded better acoustic
11 months later, still have this in the morning music rotation to power up for the day.
I'm in love with this version of Nothing Else Matters ❤️

I’d be a lyre if I said I wouldn’t pay some serious lute to see this guy perform live!
haha I love that, I met a lyre player in real life and it only increased my interest in medieval times
I see what you did there 🤣

Ayyyyyyyyyy 👌

now, that is a beautiful version of this song.... very well done!

@Pedro Sepulveda of House Hetfield
ah yes, a great quote from a Poem called Sustenance. just lovely.
Now every tavern in my D&D setting will know the art of the bard trio Mithrallica, led by Algal the bard.
A true minstrel. The loot and harp and flute. God does own 🎶 music. Lovely🐦
Thank you for performing Metallica!!! This Medieval version is a perfect & beautiful Christmas Song! 🎶
If this guy made a "NOW that's what I call mediaval 20" album I'd buy it.
yes! chills
I'd spend the sheckles
😃
Fucking crying
🙌😁😅😂 Yes! 😎
That's a really good adaptation. Normaly people, when trasnposing vocal lines, play that bunch of repeated notes that people do when singing. And when you do, you make it more interesting with sttacato or grace notes.
This ALWAYS bothers me too. Half the time they don't even include small details like already-existing inflections grace notes, etc. This one really did it justice.
Very correct 👍👍👍
The Version of Tarja Turunen is so Amazing too !!!
@E. O. I can't quite tell what you mean, are you saying you don't listen to songs that have people singing them and instead listen to the instrumental version?
Got no music education but know exactly what you mean. Great acoustic interpretation!
I'm imagining back then this was a memorial song for black death victims from the album called Black Death Album.
this song was a big help when my sister was dying, my parents played baroque music and though they have died, this is the kind of lovely dirge they would have played out of grief, very well done, Algal!
If I'm not careful I'm going to find myself fascinated with a whole new genre of metal: bardcore 🤘🤘🤘
Definitely. Bardcore!
When heavy metal meant working the forge all day with your da.
😂😂😂😂😂
Samesies! lol
Save yourself, it is too late for me 😂
can we petition for a movie set in medieval times with exclusively this type of soundtrack?
If you can find a country with government-produced movies, then perhaps. But in private studios, they usually don't take advice.
Thats a super good idea haha
Would sign the petition and go to the cinema for it... ( and last time I went to a cinema was like... when Arrival was in the movies... shesh...)
Toss a coin to your bard ye valley of plenty
A Knight's Tale
The low-whistle sounds especially nice, and I like the way you included the vocal parts in the instrumental which is what is needed with this song. Imagine something like this playing in a forest in Skyrim. You would be transfixed by its beauty, drawn to it like a spell. Absolutely haunting.
I saw Metallica perform this in Marrakesh on August 5, 1531...best show I've ever been to!
Casually throw this in the middle of my D&D game when the players entered the Tavern. Went down well!
Nice😁
Oh, that is an awesome idea. Stealing that :)
May your genius be salute
@@s.nitere3819 Beautiful! Hope it went well
@@s.nitere3819 It's pretty stunning how much emotional impact this game can have isn't it? The theatre of the mind
When the flute kicked in I got chills. Man this is beautiful music.
Low whistle apparently by the description
@@janeleonard985 It appears to be a Susato low d....great whistle if I am right, but the lighting makes it hard to tell for sure. I lament having lost mine in a move years ago.
i did also feel goosebumps
me too!
@@Blackhall_Manor Old comment is old but I think that might be a Dixon low D instead. Hard to say because of the lighting but it looks a lot like mine.
the flute is everything
❤️ wow! Durch Zufall entdeckt.
Könnte ich ewig anhören.
Vielen Dank. 🙋🏻♀️
I can juts imagine it. 5000 peasants holding their torches high for this song.
And burning the bard for the witchery music
I'm dying rn 🤣🤣🤣
Sadly the local lord thought it was an uprising and sent the garrison to put down the rabble-rousers.

Yeah most people just sing about butts now. But the bardcore is pretty lit.
Quite visionary of Metallica to modernize one of the classics and add lyrics.
Great stuff, thanks!
Earth touching.
Those medieval instruments made this song feels like it was written centuries ago...
What are the instruments he uses called please??
If the Black Album was released in 1391.
@@zoldic777 The stringed instruments are Lutes I think. A standard and a 12-string.
well thats kinda the idea of the genre
@@Cosmodiskan it's a bouzuouki
I don't know why, but to me, it's so fascinating that the bards, hundreds of years ago, had the instruments necessary to PLAY METALLICA... Like they could literally play this
Great music is timeless.
*whose to say they didn't...i feel at some point something like this was heard*
Too many minor chords, they would’ve been burned at the stake for devil worship.
@@fuji302 I think they’d actually do that to be honest.
Strings, drums and flutes have been around for A LONG long time. Not sure why this is a surprise to anyway.
This is so well done. There is no better way to explain how amazing Metallica really is.
Takes me back to the summer of 1353
When the Renaissance Fair doesn't play the music you like.
IF THEY DON'T PLAY THIS AT MY FUNERAL IM NOT GOING.
Hahaha I love you for that comment
WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID 61 PEOPLE LIKE THIS COMMENT.

Thank you guys.
This song sounds strangely good in this form. I could definitely imagine this playing in the back ground of some rich guys ball or, perhaps, that legendary bar tucked away in some wayward village
Kind of awesome, to be honest
Simply thanks from Anatolia for Time travel with Metalica . Music is universal
everyone else always says they would kill hitler or something if they had time travel, i would just love to be a travelling minstrel absolutely slaying the peasants with my bardcore remix's of 20th century songs.
Witchcraft! His fingers move in a way impossible. How doth he make the lute make such music unless the boon of Satan!

Do not let Lord Ulrich find you playing this tune, least you may have to face a magistrate and end up paying many pieces of gold.

Ye thinks he takes a mid day napster far from The Prancing Pony most work days.

@@dorkmax7073 There was. I think they've all died by now, though. _If the one I remember is correct (was real) there are no records of it that I could find... it was pre-internet. However, there are two or three of them now. One established in the 90s, one in Australia that changed the "g" to an "x," and one in China that has the word "Krith" in front of the word "Nazgul." Life gets weirder the longer you live...
This is actually the song my husband and I had chosen for our wedding. Unfortunately because of covid we couldn't have the big wedding we wanted so we couldn't dance to this song. We are hoping to have a vow renewal in 2026 and dance to Nothing Else Matters. I actually would LOVE to learn a medieval dance and use this version.
I haven't been a member in so long that I'm not sure if they still exist, but look up The Society for Creative Anachronism. I joined when I was in college in the '70's, and we danced to medieval music. If they're still around, maybe they can help you.

James Hetfield cannot have imagined the numerous genres under which this song has been covered!
I love how this sounds like it could actually be played during medieval times. Shows you how much classical influence both metal and Metallica have!
Nothing Else Matters is timeless. Both the lyrics and the melody.
Hell yeah, giving us great moments since 1535
Agreed
Versão apaixonante de um dos clássicos dos clássicos do rock mundial... 👍🏻🇧🇷
I find most of the "bardcore" a hit and miss, but your Medieval Style covers/music have a clean 100% hit rate.
Synthetic music can't stand up to this level of skill.
Hope to see more of you in the future .
Synthetizer music can be fantastic, but synthetizer instruments very often fail horribly to sound like the real deal and end up feeling oddly uncanny valleyish.
That said, I'm going to fully agree about this guy's videos being some of the best bardcore videos out there.
Aktuvor Im pretty sure I hear synths in this recording. Right after the 30 second mark
Bardcore?
It also helps a lot that this guy has a lot more composing skill than the average bardcore -musician- programmer
So much nicer than the electronically-produced covers that have cropped-up lately.
Right? I guess that the people who need to do more than play a keyboard or a program need time to practice.
midi composed arrangements CAN sound good if you put in the effort, use good samples, and adjust the quantization to be less rigid. This takes time, though.
@@ChrisLeeW00 Yeah, Cornelius Link's covers are the only midi ones that sound good to me, because he uses samples
I understand that your saying this has more talent but saying that one type of music sucks and the other doesn’t just bc they’re composed differently is like saying blue sucks and red is good bc red is more complex. It’s not even true.
I have tried a couple of the electronic 'medieval' songs and I prefer the ones like this that use real instruments. Many of the midi produced tracks sound too much like either modern EDM tracks or like a Casio demo song.
I've always loved both Metallica and medieval style music so this definitely helps to mellow me out.Brilliant work.
Mesmerizing!! This is the first time I've ever heard your work and I love some Medieval music.....you knock it out of the park with this as it seems to transport me to that place!
This song was born to be played this way. The flute stole me. I felt like crying out loud. Literally made me feel like nothing else matters at that moment
Gettin vibes of Nightwish's The Islander from this.
True that!
And that is a huge compliment
Reminds me more of Blind Guardian
True. This coming from a Nightwish Army member.
Indeed! and good music is good music. This is a classic that transposes well.
I clicked on an Algal video just for some fun, and now I've discovered a new world. I can't believe how well these songs are suited to these instruments when in the hands of the right person.
Beautiful!! Happy 2024🥂🙌
