Thanks again, Iam very well aware that not many like Death metal but for me its suits very well the Brutality in war like you said V.T Marvin and I also try my best to sync the music with the video.
Iam planing maby to do some more videos to EB2 and definitely to Empire when they release it there Sweden is a playable fraction:)
Cheers

Well done. I'm no fan of death metal, but there was clearly quite a bit of thought and planning put into what happened where, and the whole thing came off quite well, I think.

I especially liked how there was a definite timeframe for the battle, and you knew where the key moments occurred, and the importance of strategic reserves.

I'd like to have seen more cavalry charges, especially as the general got knocked off in melee!

There was one moment where the camera zoomed out to show the front line, and I think a few more of those would have been good, but then again not too many.

Overall, I think I'll watch it again 7 or 8 times a day, but probably not more...

I would love it if you, BirkaViking, released two versions of your videos: heavy metal and some EB/RTW related music. That way, most people would be happy. I'm telling you, its music that makes a video good, as I have found out. Just about any video with the vanilla RTW credits music is very popular due to the outstanding quality of the music.

Yeah I will have something entire different for my other videos for Empire and EB2.
Cheers

Very good video, Birka Viking.

There's just one thing thats not perfect:

the music is far away from being brutal enough.
How about some Agathocles, Haemorrhaege or Nasum?

[serious] The music fits nearly perfect. There's only one band, that would do a better job for this video:
Bolt Thrower. Especially "the 4th crusade" from the album with the same title.

nice video i thought the music fit very well with the battle although i think it would benefit from having some other music build up to the battle and then have the heavy metal kick in when the soldiers charge. just my opinion. keep up the good work.

PS just so everyone knows, AD/DC is the best rock band in the world

just thought i'd let you know

**Birka Viking** · 12-16-2008, 14:27

Hehe Bolt Thrower "the 4th crusade" well that was some heavy music:)
And AD/DC is ok but not my style:)
As I said earlier so will I have something entire different for my other videos for Empire and EB2.
Cheers

I second this post. Death metal doesn't suit the ancient period very well - it's music for Doom 3 techno-bloodbath videos IMO.
