Oh yay! I love Ancient Bards. The whole Black Crystal Sword Saga is epic listening. Pure power metal cheese and I'm here for every second of it.

Yes yes yes yes! I'm so happy people are picking them up. Such an uder appreciated band!

The Ayreon album The theory of everything has Sara Squadrani, Marco Hietala, Cristina Scabbia (from Lacuna Coil), Mike Mills, Tommy Karevik, John Wetton and JB from Grand Magus (cool Swedish band) Just saying

Oh My Word......speechless!!!! This group resoundingly ticks all of the boxes I am looking for. Amazing vocals

The moment where you silently rewind to hear Sara's vocals again while staring the camera dead on is pure gold. SO happy to finally see Ancient Bards on your channel and I hope that they will make some reappearances! One of my personal favorites of theirs is Fantasy's Wings off their latest album. :)

Someone else finally getting to Ancient Bards!!! One of my all-time favorite bands, they get looked past way too much. Her voice is amazing, the double bass is infectious, and the storytelling within the songs is just incredible. I can’t sing their praises enough, I’m so glad to see them starting to gain recognition!

Thanks for another female fronted metal reaction. I’m new to the channel (found you through Julia). Most of the reactor stuff I’ve seen over the last number of months is vocally focussed, but you material is next level, musically. I’m not a musician so I miss a lot of technical aspects when I listen to things. Your observations and explanations open up a completely different perspective, which I truly appreciate. Came for the Nightwish (and UTA, as a proud Canadian) but will be staying for the rest. Thanks for all the work you put into these high quality videos.

Chase, have you reacted to Anette Olzen in Dark Element yet? As soon as I heard Sara sing, I thought of Anette as they have a similar forward placement, nasal twang in parts of their songs. It would be nice to give Anette a little shine outside of Nightwish.

Yes, they have both very warm knife-edge cutting voices, perfect examples that not every singer needs to have an operatic or growl type of voice to be a genius in knowing their instrument in and out.

Please react to “Song the Night Sings”.

liking the video before hearing. ancient bards are so underrated band. they deserve much more

I got to see them live in a small club in germany back in 2014 with like 6 other people. There were many concerts in town and they just weren't enough "well known" (pardon my english) We all felt very sorry for them because we knew what crowd they should have gotten but we also got to hang out with them and have some beers afterwards. Best night of my live! I am so happy to see they still kick ass and become more and more popular.

The best thing about this one is... me! I was there and you can see me in some of the crowd shots. Great band, great performance.

So great to see people finding this amazing band, remember finding them years ago now on KZread shuffle, first song I heard was “Birth of Evil”. Want some other great Italian metal I recommend checking out Elvenking.

Ancient Bards has fast become one of my favourite bands. Their latest album in particular, Origine, is absolutely phenomenal, with a tragic story told throughout. I'm a sucker for narrative style bands. The cheesier, the better.

I had the pleasure to see them live and they were so powerful. My favourite song from this band is only the brave. Great reaction!

Ancient Bards is an underated band as many others in this style, epic power metal... Sara is a very versatile singer aswel... they have one of the most amazing power ballads of last years,.. please react to "Light"

Wohoooo super excited for this one

Ancient Bards is one of the most underrated power/symphonic bands. Sara's voice is incredible, and they are all amazing musicians (I love especially the bass solos, which are quite rare in this metal genre). Check also the Birth of Evil (1st song of their 1st album), or the ballad In My Arms.

In My Arms .

I really loved their song "Daltor the Dragonhunter" . Pure amazing epicness !!

Soulless Child is my favourite song from these guys.

Agree

I am a huge fan of Ancient Bards. I was an early backer of their crowd-funding project to create their album Origine.

Checkout their ballads "In My Arms" and "Light", but also the more epic songs like "Hope Dies Last", "All that is true" and "The Skies Above" And also everything else 😀Great band, just so underrated 😥

Ancient Bards are great! Looking forward to this reaction. Looking even more forward to a reaction to Rhapsody, they are even greater and a big influence to these guys I would say.

the album version of this one is my ringtone - you should hear the screams on the album version... brutal sounding and the lyrics are surprisingly clear all things considered

Through my veins and master of darkness where the 1st two songs that got me into ancient bards from when I was in high school. Such a solid band.

Another band added to my "must listen to" list!!

Damn Chase, I absolutely love your channel, and Tank's as well. Trying to watch everything you guys put out there and through your channels fell in love with Unleash the Archers, Ancient Bards and Nanowar of Steel. I am so thankful for that, and I love learning all new kinds of stuff about music and gear as well. Thank you so much and I hope I get to see so much more. Have a damn good day as well!

Glad you did them. Never heard them before. Loving them and for sure need more of this! ❤️

One of my fav bands since their debut album! Amazing voice and music. I have listened to their songs so many times I have lost count, yet they are always as amazing as the first time! They have so many good songs for you to react too! Hope you will do many more!!

I love this band! I came SO close to getting to see them in Georgia last year at ProgPower USA, but visa issues kicked a bunch of bands asses, including them sadly. Hopefully one day! Glad to see you reacting to them, they're fantastic musicians!

All that is true by them is the most gorgeous Power Metal ballad ever.

If you need more of them to check out, I recommend "In My Arms": kzread.info/dash/bejne/fWmeqtmppNjdf9o.html

And there is "Light", "Impious Dystopia", "Birth of Evil", "Soulless Child" and so on, the problem is to find a live recording that is not monstrous audio quality... maybe you should do them in official videos... or figure out a way to check sound quality in advance without runing the experience.

Had to add another comment! Just re-listened to (In my arms) such amazing vocals from Sara on this one! If you want to have a damn good day, react to this one as soon as possible! :)

Yay, live them! Saw them live last year, amazing performance! Another italian band you may like is Temperance, both with the old and new line up :)

My vote this time goes to "Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment" such a great song, and his clean vocals are so majestic in this one.

Studio is amazing, but Live is always the next level. But the best thing about Ancient Bards - they use EVERY member to the fullest and give moments for everyone to shine, plenty of bass, guitar, keyboard, and drum solos - combined with Sara and choirs it cannot get any better. Here is a link to "In My Arms" from their third album, studio though because I don't think there are any other Live professional videos. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmiixtWcls_adLg.html&ab_channel=LimbMusic

oh, I think this is Sara Squadrani.. I can't remember any of their songs D: well, nice to rediscover them here =P

Chase is on a strong streak of songs here!! let's see if/how much he likes this one

Not sure if it's been recommended but Ragnarok from Brothers of metal Is pretty great.

Since your comments anout a song's composition and structure are always very interesting and enlightening, I would LOVE to see you react to a Diablo Swing Orchestra song some day. Especially "Superhero Jagganath" which has this unpredictable feeling to it. That would make my day/week/year.

I would love u to check out this video "Hate Or Pray For Them" by Fråse! , your very meticulous with your critics and I think u could find a lot to talk about.

15:50 :D

Please react to Sokoninaru! It is a japanese three piece rockband and will blow your mind. One of their songs is called Gou ni moju

Chase, since you liked Sara's voice (or, at least, I got that impression), I think you would like Daísa Munhoz of Vandroya. (Another criminally underrated band, imho.)

Could you do any classic rhapsody ? :D

I believe you

I like her voice but I think she could be even better. I thank Julia Nilon and Floor Jansen for opening my eyes to really listening to what singers are doing. I reckon she has a big potential untapped . I would love to hear Julia's take on this one. I might suggest it to her. Or you and Julia could find another and do a joint react ( I really liked your collaboration. Take about a masterclass)

Check out Lovebites - Swan Song live man..

Loved it, thank you! Can you please please please react to Faun? It's a pagan folk band with amazing singers et lots of ancients instruments (a bit like Eluveitie without the growls). Maybe start with "Odin" (there's a live video), it would also give you a taste of Wardruna as Einar Selvik sings in this song. Also, could you please check out the "This is halloween" cover done by Simone Simons (Epica), her husband Oliver Palotai (Kamelot) and their son. It's really fun and an awesome family project. Can't wait for your next video!

I have never been much for reaction videos. I watch them on occasion... but, honestly, I'm not about a reaction. I need more than a mere reaction. Therefore, I have never subscribed to a reaction channel. Until now. Your analysis is great. In this song, I couldn't help but think as I am hearing the female vocalist that she has a voice that would fit a country song. The twang, the timbre. Of course, you come up with the same statement two minutes later. Because, that's what you do. So... some recommended bands that I have not seen as I went through your videos... Nemophila Lisa-X Band Orphaned Land Sebnem Ferah Mago De Oz Apocalyptic Lovers

It's 8 am here, I've had about three hours sleep. Hoping to still be among the living by 10 am. I've swallowed down 2 xtra strength ASAs, and 2 xtra strength Tylenols, so I may have a slight buzz on. Life is such an adventure!

Very talented bunch there. Wonderful breakdown by you as always. Maybe I'm too old, but I just don't like growls in my metal. Or at least have the growls be smaller, short, accent bits that do not overpower the instrumental sounds, like we see in unleash the archers. Again, this band is talented, just those growls kill the song for my personal tastes.
