FEUERSCHWANZ

If you have ever wished for a medieval market with Marshall amps, mead flowing freely and a crowd singing along in German whether they speak the language or not, this is the band for you!

FEUERSCHWANZ (we will tactfully refrain from translating the name here…) formed in Erlangen, Germany, in 2004 and has been turning medieval metal into one big party ever since. Violin and hurdy-gurdy meet heavy metal riffs, topped with choruses written to be bellowed with a big tankard of beer in hand. It all comes wrapped in chainmail, armour and a refreshing sense of humour that makes sure that they never take themselves, or their audience, too seriously.

And it works. FEUERSCHWANZ has gone from cult band to one of Germany’s biggest names in the genre. Memento Mori and Fegefeuer
both went straight in at number one on the German album chart, and their latest album, Knightclub, landed at number two. Knightclub also opened a new chapter in the band’s story: It is their first album with an English title and has more English lyrics than ever before.

Unleash your inner knight and get ready for pure medieval folk metal with all the bells and whistles!
