Kristoffer Sørensen Rocks Out With Powerful Rendition Of Simon & Garfunkel Classic “The Sound Of Silence”

If you’re a music fan, chances are you’ve heard the iconic 1960s folk-rock song The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel. This classic song captured the spirit of its time, with its haunting melody and thoughtful lyrics. Simon & Garfunkel’s unique harmonies turned the track into more than just a hit—it became a cultural moment that still connects with listeners today.

Kristoffer Sørensen, known as ‘the singing Viking’ on The Voice Norway, impressed everyone with his remarkable vocal range. During his 2023 performance, he delivered a hauntingly beautiful cover of “The Sound of Silence,” showcasing his emotional depth. Seated on a stool with minimal piano accompaniment, his voice filled the space, exuding a quiet strength.

Kristoffer’s performance took a powerful turn after the first verse, when he stood up, unleashing an intense energy that stunned the crowd. His vocals grew richer and more commanding, blending perfectly with the deep guitar riffs and smooth strings. The shift in style felt almost like a tribute to Disturbed’s heavier take on the song, with Kristoffer embodying the fierce spirit of a Viking as he poured his soul into the music.

The video of his performance has reached nearly 3M views and received tons of positive comments such as “I’ve watched this performance so many times since discovering this guy and I get goosebumps every single time. He is something else!” and “As much as I love disturbed. This version I think is amazing and better. The raw voice is incredible!”
