SEA SHANTY METAL - "Northwest Passage" (with @CalebHyles@ColmRMcGuinness & @RichaadEB)

If you four sang a rock/metal version of The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything I think that would be pretty much the greatest thing ever.

Original song: slightly slow dirge about a crew going through some of the most dangerous waters in the world This cover: WE'RE SLAPPING ROCKET BOOSTERS ON THIS SHIT AND F I G H T I N G THAT PASSAGE.

Bro Colm hitting those high notes like a champion in his verse. JESUS CHRIST THAT IS TALENT!

This isn’t just an amazing rock cover of a shanty. This is the anthem of explorers born in an era where every corner of the map has already been filled in.

Four years in a row, this man has been my most listened to artist on Spotify 😅

Too early to explore space, to late to explore the world, too young to travel, too old to change. This song reminds us that one of our primal needs is to travel. The song itself eventually thanks the men who explored the Canadian wilderness, using what was laid out before them. Perhaps there will come a day where people can explore space and come up with our own shanties, finding our own Northwest passage among the stars. But until that day, people like Jon, Caleb, Colm, Richaad will continue to inspire our imaginations

This was deleted from Spotify and my playlist and immediately started to panic because this is such a beautiful cover it saddened me to see it disappear from my playlist. I’m so glad it’s still around to enjoy. Please don’t delete it !

I don't think anyone can take the crown from Brittney Slayes singing this (Unleash the Archers), but it still makes my Canadian heart soar! Fantastic job and rendition!

i lost my fucking SHIT when my buddy shared this in our discord music channel. unleash the archers is in my top 3 metal bands and this song is etched into my god damned soul but you guys SLAYED EVERY PART GAVE MY GOOSEBUMPS IT'S 9AM AND MY NECK/CHEEKS ALREADY HURT ALSO JONATHAN YOUR VOCALS PEAK SO FUCKING HARD RIGHT AFTER 3 MINUTES CHRIS ON A STICK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START MY DAY THANK YOU, NEVER CHANGE

Here's an idea to consider: you guys should start your own animated cartoon about your pirate characters going on adventures on the high seas featuring all of your covers (perhaps the ending song to each episode to set us up for each adventure). I bet it would be a HIT!

I cannot stress enough how fantastic your harmonies are. The combined power of your sea voices is always a pleasure to hear

Please don't ever quit making those sea shantys! Every single on up to now gave me goosebumps. And they are getting better and better!🎉

Those high notes in the chorus🔥🔥🔥

Maybe I've listened to too many of Jonathan's Disney metal covers, but this gives me vibes of like an animated adventure movie in the same vein as The Road to El Dorado or Treasure Planet, except about an expedition to the north pole. - The first guy is the reasonable but stern captain who's leading the voyage. - The second guy is the 20-something protagonist singing about how he wants to leave his port city hometown and explore the world on one of the ships he sees every day. - The third guy is the captain's laid-back Number One who's friendly with the crew and always in good humor. He has a tragic backstory, but never lets it get him down. He helps the protagonist adjust to living on a ship when he first comes aboard and becomes his mentor figure. - The fourth guy is the bittier hardass who's spent his entire life trying to find the Northwest Passage and failed, who initially buts heads with the protagonist but slowly learns to be less cynical over the course of the movie.

Unleash the archers's take on this song cannot be beaten, but this one is absolutely legendary! Phenomenal job!! ❤‍🔥🔥 resumes headbanging

I don't know if it's intentional, but the "Hand Of Franklin" makes me think of the doomed Franklin Expedition.

I wanna CRY at Jonathan's GORGEOUS HARMONY SCREAM at the end!! Matt Heafy must be so proud 😭😭😭

I didn't know you guys were so Canadian! Awesome rendition!

This is unironically something to just vibe out to while you gather and drink with friends, sea shanties in general are but ESPECIALLY this it already makes you feel like youre singing along with an entire crew you all did a great job!

I didn’t think Stan Rogers could probably be improved upon, but then again, I didn’t think Dickens could either until I saw A Muppet Christmas Carol. Good job, boys!
