Medieval rock with wit, vigour and Viking spirit

Feuerschwanz is a German rock band that has been thrilling audiences with its unique blend of medieval rock, metal and humour since it was founded in 2004. What once began as a tongue-in-cheek satire on the medieval genre has long since developed into one of the most successful rock and metal bands in the country.

Musically, Feuerschwanz combine powerful guitar riffs with bagpipes, violins and anthemic choruses. Songs like Memento Mori, Metfest or Bastard of Asgard show their preference for epic melodies, big themes and a good dose of self-irony. Their lyrics alternate between humorous drinking songs, fantastic tales and more serious, historically or mythologically inspired content.

Feuerschwanz are also an experience live: full of energy, theatrical and rousing. Their concerts are like intoxicating spectacles where audience and band merge into one big, celebratory unit. They impress at festivals such as the Wacken Open Air as well as in sold-out halls with a show full of fire, humour and passion.

With their development from a fun project to a serious rock band, Feuerschwanz have proven that humour and musical quality are not mutually exclusive. Today, they stand for modern medieval rock that is powerful, intelligent and uncompromisingly entertaining.
