Hozier and Bear Mccreary Perform Blood Upon Snow From God of War Ragnarok

Bear Mccreary is an absolute beast. Love to see composers getting the recognition they deserve.

Was not prepared for how epic Bear McCreary would look performing.

Everyone is just super serious when performing and Bear McCreary is just there headbanging while playing the goofiest instrument ever and it's fantastic to see!

Hozier’s vocals are insane

I swear hozier is just an ancient forest God reincarnated to sing about his past lives, and its totally perfect for God of war. Stunning 😭

i didn’t expect to get emotional, but the moment the choir started singing, my eyes welled up. the journey i went through with kratos, atreus, freya, sindri. brok, AND mimir in the game will always be in my heart.

I love the Bear is just absolutely vibing up on the stage, you can tell he's so happy to be up there

Bear McCreary: Wins Best Score at Game Awards Also Bear McCreary: Headbangs while playing a Hurdy Gurdy and a Chorus does Nordic Chants

This song fits the game like a glove, it’s carries the themes, the tone, and when the og God of War theme comes on, mmmm🗿👌

Hits harder when you've completed the game.

I just love how Bear is rocking out with a hurdy-gurdy throughout the song. I wish they had more shots of him. It's so badass to see!

Bear McCreary is a beast. After Battlestar Galactica I never imagined he can come out with and OST more impactfull. I was wrong.

Hozier is a phenomenal performer on and off stage. His voice is so consistent between the studio and the stage

Hozier makes it look so easy. His vocals are insanely good. What an amazing performance.

this man just casually belts out the most stunning and chilling vocals ever

This song makes me want to lead an army and take down a pantheon

Absolutely ripping that Hurdy Gurdy

Incredible performance all around but I do want to draw attention to the fact that we just got a live hurdy gurdy performance in 2022, this may be the best timeline

Man. After THAT scene in game when this song started playing i was so emotional.

This song has been stuck in my mind for the last couple weeks, and I love it, I love the theme, red on white, blood upon snow, ofc means literal blood on snow, and Kratos’ red tattoos that he got to honor his dead brother, on his white skin, which his the ashes of his dead wife and daughter, and this might be a reach but, “every bird, gone unheard, starving where the ground has froze” could be talking about Freya, she can transform into a bird, and her “ground froze” when she held her dead son in her arms “starving” could be “starving for revenge” which she is, but again, this might be a huge huge reach, I haven’t seen any videos on what the meaning of the song is, but the main idea is pretty straightforward
