Steemit Open Mic Week 98 - Cover of Immortal's "Beyond The North Waves"
Greetings Open Mic!
I'm bringing you a classic Black Metal song this week from the band Immortal. I've entertained the idea of making an acoustic version of this one for a while now, so here I present it to you in all its Nordic glory.
lyrics :
[Music: Abbath/Horgh]
[Lyrics: Demonaz]
On many ships I have sailed
Far beyond the north waves
On the high northern seas
We have found our way
The shadowing voices of our gods
Singing on the calling wind
Where the cold waves
And the longboats brought us far
The saga of the warriors from Northland
Speak of greatness and strength
The saga of the warriors from Northland
Are the saga of many great of men
On the seas against the open
We travelled on and on
Through the raging winds
And storms we arrived
The shadowing voices of our gods
Singing on the calling wind
Where the cold waves
And the longboats brought us far
With sword in hand I now stand
On my enemy's land
And with a northern heart
I will fight until the day I die, die
My time will be remembered
My time it will be known
By my sons, by my tribe
And by the sun, the sea and moon
For he who battled for his land,
His pride and for his men
Shall be remembered and stand eternally named
In the legends of our land
In the legends of our land
Breathing in winds
From the essence of a roaring horizon
Breathing in winds
From the cold sea
Call the shores of the north

Awesome! :D I dont want to leave the same comment, but this is really great bro! \m/ Metal On! I liked that deep vocal in between too and the vocal notes which comes after it are really perfect!
the last riff and solo was killer!
Thanks bro! I'm happy you liked this <3
Much love and Hail Oddin \m/
Hi lk666,

I love this song for a long time. And I really enjoyed your version, it's a great transformation from the originals epicness to something epic with a deep sadness.
Thank you <3
It's one of my favorite songs as well. I think songs like this strike something in people because those days are gone for now. That kind of pride, curiosity, and spirit are gone in most folks I dare say. I didn't intend on it sounding sad, but perhaps that's what came through in my interpretation.
Your acoustic version works very well with your strong guitar playing. I've always been a Nordic fan so your song resonated with me. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much and I'm happy you liked it <3
Man, this was awesome 8 min of listen :) loved it.
Respect
Rifat
thank you <3

Thank you my friend <3
Thanks Luzy <3

Sweet, I love it. I just sent this to a buddy of mine. He's pretty big into black metal and Norse anything. The looper on the ending was a really nice touch.
Thank you very much! I love BM and it holds a dear place in my heart as well. I'm actually learning some new Satyricon at the moment "To Your Brethren In The Dark" will be coming up soon.
@lk666, I'm looking forward to it. The acoustic styling on that would be awesome, would you play that in dadgad or just drop D?
I'll be doing that one in drop C.
Dang, that is low. My acoustic would rattle too much, I probably need to have it redone, but it's not on the priority list. Plus its only real value is sentimental.
I actually recorded it today for open mic and ended up doing D standard tuning. Yeah you'd need to get heavier strings for sure and adjust the nut on the guitar accordingly. I've been tuning really low since the 90s.
Probably not exactly your style but we're doing, Sleeping Giant- Enthroned this morning. i'm pulling the piano and the 2nd guitar parts, it should at the very least be interesting.
Love the loop outro ;9)
Thank you <3
