Durin would certainly be proud.

YouTuber Cellofrag took on a massively impressive cover of "Song of Durin" from Lord of the Rings. Using only different recordings of himself, which took over 100 hours of work, he performed 13 different parts of the score which was edited into one glorious symphony.

A huge fan of the Tolkien Universe, he has also previously covered another famous song from the franchise, "The Misty Mountains Cold. "

The dwarves would totally throw a giant feast for this guy, but to be fair, they would use any excuse to throw a feast.
