The Bard's Song in Skyrim

[Kanori24]

I'm not exactly their biggest fan, but power metal band Blind Guardian has a song that I keep imagining hearing in Skyrim's taverns, The Bard's Song. I can also picture them doing covers of Skyrim's tavern songs, although Jeff Winner over at YouTube seems to do a good enough job as it is.

 

Anyone else imagine, or actually listen to epic power metal while adventuring? I've seen mods that bring it into the game, but I mostly just background Spotify or something.

I'm not sure what "Epic Power Metal" actually is, but I do better than that! I listen to real rock music!

 

I use Play as a Bard (Become a Bard) and Play 'n' Bash (Playable Instruments, Battleflute) and usually play a wilderness wanderer, Druid-Ranger-Bard type.

 

So as well as Malukah's version of the Skyrim songs and various Skyrim ethnic music used during my Inn performances, I made some short, 10-15 second snippets of some suitable songs for the Bardsong effects when I play my Drums of Panic, Lute of Fury and Flute of Harmony spell effects.

 

Sadly, I can't upload the Add-On here due to copyright concerns.

 

 

Due to the way I had to make the add-on for the mods, and the way the mods work, it also replaces some of the background songs played in taverns and inns.
