Chequez vous: [http://www.sabbatum.com/sound](http://www.sabbatum.com/sound) I am not familiar with any Black Sabbath songs, so this holds no irony for me. But it doesn’t sound bad at all. ---

No “Iron Man”? What’s up with that? ---

Yeah, what about… “Vir Ferri” (Iron Man) “Parvuli Sepulchri” (Children of the Grave) “Caelum et Tartarus” (Heaven and Hell) “Folium Dulce” (Sweet Leaf) ---

Unless a person is fluent in latin, how would anyone even know those are Sabbath tunes translated to Latin and performed on medieval instruments? Call me a skeptic, but how do I know the seller didn’t just take a chant album from a bargain bin and relabel the songs into latin translations of Black Sabbath track titles? I listened to every sample track and couldn’t make out even so much as one similar rhythm pattern. Nada. It’s an intersting concept, had even one track been recognizable, I woulda bought it. ---

Stumbled across this somehow and became intrigued enough to want to hear it, only the link seems to be no longer valid? I realize it’s old but can you remember song titles that I may perhaps use on YouTube to search? ---

I believe this Youtube playlist is the same as what was linked above 23 years ago; https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLRjgteMdQ3zskkhzNjFbXr7wFZP98uG2H&wmode=transparent&rel=0&autohide=1&showinfo=1&enablejsapi=1 ---

I think this style is called bardcore. This channel has a bunch of different covers. I like the All Star one. > **[the\_miracle\_aligner](https://www.youtube.com/@the_miracle_aligner)** > > Who are you? Who am I? What is this? What is that?
