#PaoliniOnTour: Majorly hyped Inheritance-themed rock song will debut online this Sunday (video announcement by Christopher)

By Mike Macauley April 18, 2012 Christopher Paolini, Events 61 Comments

Christopher is currently on in Germany as part of his European and Australian book tour, set to last through July. Christopher’s German publisher ran contest for fans to create a song based on the Inheritance cycle and it looks as though one group has risen to the challenge. Christopher recently met the pair responsible for the song at one of his Germany book tour stops, posing for photos and recording a teaser video for the release of the song and its accompanying music video.

We know very little about the song itself, but the German publisher (and the band responsible for the song) seem to be hyping it a great deal, indicating that the results should be promising! We’ll post the music video when it releases this Sunday. Below is Christopher’s teaser announcement for the video’s reveal:

  • Invincible Shade

    What happened to the 20 words contest?  =(

  • EternalShade

    Its been a month since we’ve had news about anything…. :/

    • John McClymond

      yes, where is new news for us?

  • eragon

    whens the interview going to come out?????????????????????

    • VeryMad

      Probably never. ;( 

      • idjit

         Yeah, it seems like there is no interview to begin with. Oh well.

        • VeryMad

          Unfortunately I think I have to agree with you. That’s a big disappointment! But as you said, ‘oh well’. Nothing we can do. Maybe Paolini didn’t have answers to the tough questions we asked, so he decided not to do the interview.

    Interviewww 😀 

  • I listened to the song last week. I thought it was good. Not perfect, but good nonetheless. The lyrics didn’t seem to fit the genre very well, but it’s way better than most of the garbage on the radio. I offer my congratulations to all of the people involved with this song. It was an enjoyable few minutes.

    • Borna Matosic

       On behalf of all the people that were involved in the production: Thank you! 🙂

  • Mangledpanda

    Did you know: waiting for a simple interview to be released on here takes longer than reading four Wheel of Time novels. Speaking of which, who’s hyped for A Memory of Light?!

  • Aramis343

    Sorry if the comment is off topic, but I can’t seem to find a better place to put it.
    I can’t seem to register for Shurtugal Fanfiction, as I cannot see the image provided on my computer. What’s going on with that?

    • Tooba Salam

      I can’t even access Shurtugal Fanfiction right now. No idea why, though.

  • Hugh Jass

    Its been over a month since Mike and Lauren interviewed CP…

    • OutragedDisappointed

      Yup. 🙁 And it’s not looking good for the interview soon. You’d think they’d at least give us an update!

  • Plzplz

    Mike Macauley please will you give us an update on the interview?

  • Saerina

    interview. Interview! INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!

    • Shade of Shadows

      What interview are you all talking about?   

      • LoicAdlar

  • LoicAdlar

    Yeah. When’s the interview?

  • Hugh Jass

  • GUEST

    • Borna Matosic

       Which interview? 🙂

  • Melanie Marcus

    • Borna Matosic

       Sure! It’s on YouTube and will stay there for your viewing pleasure! 😉 Check it out here: http://youtu.be/wUfGNMjvWoI

  • Jesus

    that song was great i was little apprehensive at first to listen to it fearing that it might be corny but nope it was really good now all we need is a new eragon movie and these guys to compose a song for it because we all know that the eragon movie was horrible  

    • Borna Matosic

       Thanks! 🙂

  • Shade of Shadows

    That was awesome! Good job, Meridian Mind!

    Shade of Shdows

    • Borna Matosic

      Glad to hear, thank you! 🙂

      • Shade of Shadows

        So you’re the guitarist, right? Does your band have any other songs?

        • BornaMatosic

          Yep, that’s me! I do have more songs, but we actually just formed the band a few months ago and immediately started working on the Dragon Riders project. So now that we finished that, it’s time to check our funds and see when we can return to the studio to record more stuff.
          As of now, Dragon Riders is the only professional recording we’ve done, but we do have a pretty high quality demo of another song that you can listen to on our FB page at http://www.facebook.com/MeridianMind (click the “Meridian Mind Music” tab and check out the song “1284 A.D.”).

          • Shade of Shadows

            I listened to it, its good! You’re very talented. I  think I will try learning how to play the guitar.   

          • Borna Matosic

            Thanks! 🙂
            You mean you’ll start learning the song or you’ll start learning guitar from scratch?

          • Shade of Shadows

            I will have to start learning from scratch. How long have you been playing guitar? 

          • Borna Matosic

             I started in late 2005, so about 6.5 years now. But the last couple of years I didn’t focus so much on practicing guitar, I worked on my songwriting skills instead. 🙂

          • Shade of Shadows

            That’s neat that you’re a guitarist and a songwriter. What do you like more? If you want me to stop asking you so many questions, just tell me.   
            😉

          • Borna Matosic

            I love playing guitar and I love composing. Both is very important for me. Feel free to ask questions, but let’s move the discussion to the Forum section of this site. It will be more comfortable 😉

  • Cloudy109

  • Borna Matosic

      Just seen it; the song was good though the video was amazing!!

    • Anonymous

      I just noticed; you were the one who wrote the song???

      • Borna Matosic

         Yep, I’m the guitarist and composed the song! I’m glad you like it! 🙂

        • Anonymous

          Congrats on winning the contest and I hope you write more songs with fantasy themes; even sci fi, if that is what CP’s next book will be!!!

          • Borna Matosic

             Thank you! Funny that you mention it, I actually joked about writing a sci-fi song if CP’s next book turns out to be sci-fi. Did you watch the interview that I posted earlier? It was mentioned there 😉

          • Anonymous

            Yeah I watched it, that is why I mentioned it

          • Borna Matosic

             I see! Well, I’ll definitely keep writing songs in that style! 🙂

    • EternalShade

      That was epic!

      • Borna Matosic

         Thanks, bro! 🙂

  • Borna Matosic

    Here’s a new interview with CP talking with Meridian Mind, the band responsible for the song: http://youtu.be/l1nrByOrrgU 🙂

  • aprentis

  • Borna Matosic

    That’s pretty cool. Though, will the song be in English?

    • bigmike

      I have heard plenty of songs were, even tho I couldnt understand the language, I rocked out hard to, just because the beat is good and the the sound is rockin.

    • Sebastian Plueck

       it definitely will be! 😉

    •  It appears it will be.

      • John McClymond

        with closed caption for deaf people like me?

  • bigmike

    Awesome!!! thats all i can say to describe it.

    •  Inheritance has the entire movie soundtrack for the Eragon movie — don’t forget that. The movie was terrible but the soundtrack is actually pretty good.

      • bigmike

        Oh, Ill have to check that out. thanks man.
