About Feuerschwanz
Feuerschwanz formed in Germany in 2004, playing medieval rock with a comic streak. The members perform under knightly stage personas, and early records leaned on bawdy humour and drinking songs set to bagpipes, fiddle and lute-style folk melodies.
Over the years the guitars got heavier and the arrangements moved toward folk metal, without losing the fiddle or the mead-hall subject matter. The band now writes battle anthems and sing-along choruses alongside the jokes, and its catalogue also includes medieval-metal covers of well-known pop and rock songs.
