Beim zweiten Teil der sagenhaften Homage fällt meine Wahl auf Vinterriket mit Walhall! Zugegebenermaßen bin ich als Vinterriketfan ein bischen voreingenommen, aber meine Erwartungen wurden sogar übertroffen! Der Sound von zweien meiner absoluten Lieblingsbands kombiniert, ein Traum ist wahr geworden ^^ Allerdings muss ich sagen, dass der Gesang etwas zu weit im Hintergrund steht, um die Lyrics zu verstehen, was aber als typisch Vinterriket gelten muss. Alles in allem, zwei großartige Werke!

Again only very short first impressions, but I have to say that also the second part of the tribute is a wonderful and varied album.
Actually, I can't decide for one song to be my personal favourite, but there are so many wonderful tracks...
I agree that Vinterriket's Walhall is interesting to listen to, but personally I don't like that the vocals are that far in the background. - But to begin with the first track, I was absolutely surprised by Morgan's Galdralag... the atmopshere is so amazing! But also Hordak's When Gjallarhorn Will Sound... - where was the quote at the beginning taken from? - or Geist's Laeknishendr are great interpretations of Falkenbach's songs... Oh, I could go on and on, I think I'll go for another try tomorrow. But I'm really impressed by both parts of the tribute albums that are really worth being called a tribute.

I chose "Hordak - When Gjallarhorn Will Sound" as my favourite. Really great song. But what's up with "Bewitched"? Their version of the Ardent Awaited Land is the one and only track on both the homage-albums, that I didn't like. Maybe I have to listen to it again, but the harmonies sound a bit strange in my ears and the overall sound is a bit "thin".

"Aduatuza", definitely.. Even if it's very close to the original

"Aduatuza", definitely.. Even if it's very close to the original That's right! A wonderful coverversion of the original. My vote goes to Vinterriket because the song is amazing. The Athmosphere, the vocals and the music give a special feeling, I think. 1. Vinterriket - Walhall 2. Diamond Eyed Princess - Aduatuza 3. Forgotten Daylight - Winternight

Galdralag by Morgan the bard is simply amazing, and he was able to change the song so much giving it a lot of personality but not losing the original charme of the song, great!

(First of all I want to thank who spent and will spend such beautiful words 'bout my music and voted me ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ....it has been a great honour for me.) The other bands have done a great work as well but my vote goes to "Bewitched - The Ardent Awaited Land", it's simply so obscure, original and personal, great atmospheres, very evocative...I like it very much. This is the way I like to make covers....twistin' and translatin' the original song in something very different. Great tribute anyway...thanks to V.V. & Semivivus.

So, bin gerade beim zweiten Teil angelangt, und hier mein Ersteindruck: Morgan the Bard - Galdralag Überrascht mich positiv! Mehr fällt mir dazu nicht ein. *g* 9,5/10 Hordak - When Gjallarhorn Will Sound Und gleich das nächste Cover, das begeistern kann. Die Parts mit den rauhen Vocals sind wahre Energiebündel. Sauber! Ich wage sogar zu behaupten, dass es dem Original ebenbürtig ist. 10/10 Geist - Laeknishendr Ähm ja...sehr eigensinniges Ding. Aber hörenswert ist es allemal. 8/10 Diamond Eyed Prinzess - Aduatuza Klingt dem Original sehr ähnlich, fast schon wie ein Remix. Erst gegen Ende fängt das Lied an, mir richtig zu gefallen. 7,5/10 Eluveitie - Vanadis "Ven" hat mir gefallen, umso gespannter war ich auf Vanadis. Die Band hat ihren Stil vollkommen in Vanadis austoben lassen und das Lied klingt deshalb nicht nur sehr anders, sondern auch sehr gut. Übrigens wird hier wieder deutlich, wie gut dem Original eine echte Flöte (und Frauengesang im Hintergrund ;D) guttun würde. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) 9/10 Forgotten Daylight - Winternight Guter Song, besonders die Atmosphäre stimmt hier. 8/10 Vinterriket - Walhall Das Lied mit der besten Atmosphäre der gesamten Tribute-Compilation. Ingesamt aber nur zweitbestes Lied des II. Parts hinter Hordak. 9,5/10 Bewitches - The Ardent Awaited Land Etwas "langweilig", aber das Lied war schon auf der Ok Nefna in meinen Ohren das "schwarze Schaf". 6,5/10 Alles in allem: Diese CDs sind jeden Cent wert! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I like them all of course. But if I have to choose one... then it shall be Geist's interpretation of Laeknishendr.

Welll, well,well. Here the things are most difficult. Morgan the bard did a good job, gave a different spirit to the track, Hordak did also very good job, Diamond Eyed Princess impressed me with the vocals and the Eluveitie one...wow! (I also keep away here Geist as long the guitarist helped me with my cover) ...it is difficult... really difficult to chose... hmmm... I will give my vote to Diamond Eyed Princess and that because of the vocals... really impressed!

3. Diamond Eyed Princess
2. Morgan The Bard
1. Hordak

Well, It was an hard decision, but endly I given my vote to Morgan the Bard, for the original interpretation of this song, typically played in Black Metal version, he give to this song a medieval touch that impressed me for the first time I've listened it. Good job old bard! I like very much also Eluveitie's track, I love the instruments that they plays in a beautiful mode in this song. At last I'm impressed for the interpretation of Walhall of Vinterriket, so dark and obscure a very good track in my opinion. By the way, congratulations to all the artists!
