- We finally get our first taste of music from Feuerschwanz's upcoming album, and if this is a taste of things to come, this may be an insanely good album from start to finish. In this video we talk about why this music is so refreshing to me as an American listener, we break down some gear (including Hans's weird guitar), get some info on the newest member of the band, and discuss how you may notice little things in songs you've never heard even years after you first heard it.
[FACT CHECK/CORRECTION:]
At 02:19 in the video, the pop-up said this video released in 2001... Obviously a terrible typo, as it released in 2021.

![ROADIE REACTIONS | J.B.O. - "Metal Was My First Love" [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]](/img/1.gif)
I'll be at the premiere, I'm curious about that weird guitar! 🎸😁
I saw your close-up picture of it and it is a beautifully crafted piece. Never heard about Mazzeguitar.
Do you actually think I knew what it was on the first watch? 😂
Great song and amazing guitar Hans. Did you use it on the record? Might just be me but the tone sounds a bit crunchier than usual.
@@TankTheTech if anyone, you might... 🤷♂️😅
@@TankTheTech Wotan made a cameo in the video
ich kommentiere normalerweise nie seine Videos, weil es mir an den rhetorischen Fähigkeiten auf Englisch mangelt.... Aber ich muss jetzt mal was dazu sagen: ich verstehe jedes Wort des Textes. Bei englischen Texten ist das bei mir manchmal nicht so. Deswegen ist es schön, jemanden zu sehen, der die Musik genauso feiert, obwohl er ohne Übersetzung, vieles nicht versteht!!! Allein weil er die Musik liebt!!! Das ist so toll!
So ist es.
richtig - aber ich bin froh das ich ihn doch verstehe das macht die reaktionen um so besser ...
um ehrlich zu sein ist das Lied auch besser, wenn man den dummen Text nicht versteht :D
@@MrGwandrin lol der Text ist eigentlich ziemlich geil, hast dus nicht verstanden, oder wie?
Großer geht mir genauso. Aber habe mitbekommen das er eine echte Konifere in Sachen Metal ist und mir geht es wie dir verstehen tu ich fiel aber auf enlisch antworten, fehlen mir die nötigen Gene. Grins ich mag den Tank und seine Analysen aber am wichtigsten is ich Liebe Feuerschwanz, Weimar und andere deutschsprachigen Band's
German here I can say yes there is a hell of a lot of medieval stuff going around and I pretty much love all of it :D
I like Faun, too. I am an ethnic German in the USA. Love German bands
Your Duolingo lessons are showing their fruits, excellent pronounciation of both the band name and the song title! Gut gemacht!
i like how he pronounced Drachenboot, he rolled the R really hard there :P
Cut me some slack. I learned Spanish in high school, and tried learning Finnish before German. Hahahaha
@@TankTheTech Actually, it´s great. Pronounciation was really good, and i dig the rolling R. Greetings from germany as well \m/
@@TankTheTech The funny thing is. Where I am from in Germany it actually is kind of common to roll the R similar like you did. Only where I am from it is considered a Mundart. Something like a dialect :D
@@ArgonianKronos Bavaria? 😁
You aren’t kidding, man. That chorus is massive.
13:20 Great to hear Valhalla from BG in the Background. Just saw them a few weeks ago in Würzburg at the Keep it True festival.
Lyrics:
Feuerschwanz - Untot Im Drachenboot (Undead in the dragon boat)
Dragons made of wood and sails
Warriors, wild and daring
Valhalla waits for every man
Only he who dies on the battlefield
Holds the axe firmly in his hand
But what if you can't die?
Off to your death
With the dragon boat
Into the steel sea
And we sail across the sea
Join our army
Into the spray
With the dragon ship
Into the bloody sea
And the sea turns red
Our sail brings death
Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!)
Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!)
In dark harbor taverns
You can hear the sailors murmuring
Draugr, out there for 1000 years
Our ship fast and agile
Neither dead nor alive
Cursed to eternal privateering expeditons
On to death
With the dragon boat
Into the steel sea
And we'll sail the sea
Join our army
Into the spray
With the dragon ship
Into the bloody sea
And the sea turns red
Our sail brings death
Undead in the dragon boat
On to death
With the dragon boat
Into the steel sea
And we sail across the sea
Join our army
Into the spray
With the dragon ship
Into the bloody sea
And the sea turns red
Our sail brings death
And we sail across the sea
Into the spray
With the dragon ship
Into the bloody sea
And the sea turns red
Our sail brings death
Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!)
2:19. This song is so legendary it premiered on RUclips four years before RUclips was created!
Hahahaha. Yeah, I put a note in the description about that, but wasn't about to re-export and edit this video just for that. Hahaha
Don't think it's really an oversaturated market. Can't really say that I'm bombarded by stuff like this when I listen to german radio. Folk rock, medieval metal, and similar always felt like a style people either love or hate with not much in between. I'm one of those who absolutely love this and Feuerschwanz has become my favourite of them lately.
Always catchy songs and good videos.
I can completely relate with your german friend. I am german myself and into goth, metal, medieval music since around 1995 and been to concerts of "Subway to Sally" and so on in 2004... Attending medieval festivals every two weeks feom May to October.. so yes, we are sometimes really really saturated and the big hype is definitely over for years. But I still love it and listen to it occasionally.
Great reaction btw. Have a great day!
there can never be enough Mittelalter-Metal/Rock !! Also I'm always amazed by how many styles Hodi can sing :D So much talent in one band
You know, I understand your German friend who says he honestly can't with this type of music anymore. For me, it was a journey as well, I used to be really into medieval metal from like 13 to 19, Schandmaul was my very first concert, but at some point I just couldn't anymore. There is a max amount of harp a human can listen to in a decade. Now, some 10-ish years later, I'm starting to come around again as an adult who can appreciate how much skill this music genre takes, and how intricate and poetic some of the lyrics are (maybe not Feuerschwanz ;P ). But if you have found your tribe in Death or Black Metal, this sounds like the Teletubbies intro song (or so they say, but give those german Death Metalheads some 5+ beers and you will find they know every word to these folk songs by heart!!)
Gear breakdown: The axe Benjamin is holding is a Bardiche (pronounced bar-DISCH), which is NOT historically appropriate for the dragon boat era. :p
I've been listenenig to Feuerschwanz here and there for over 10 years now and also seen them a view times live. Mostly on smaller medieval festivals.
But I must say they've upped their game with the last album and I am looking forward to their new one.
My wife and I already have tickets for their live show on January 5th in Nuremberg 😁
I haven't sat down and listened to Feuerschwanz yet but after hearing this song I am hooked. The chorus is amazing and me being able to understand German more then I can speak it, I love it.
Ok, about the being over the medieval stuff....
Theres a typical lineup when people talk about medieval rock and metal. Bands like Subway to Sally, Saltatio Mortis, Corvus Corax, Tanzwut, In Extremo, Schandmaul, Die Streuner and even Fiddlers Green do this stuff sometimes since the mid 90s. The scene took itself way to serious in the beginning. So in the mid 2000s a band came along called Feuerschwanz.
Feuerschwanz did one thing different: While all the other bands did serious songs about medieval times, romantic or war and fighting (sometimes taking inspiration from Pagan Metal), Feuerschwanz took themself not too serious and sang about Sex, Mead and partying in general. That was new, most "true" people didnt like it, but they did stick in the end. In the 2010s they started to produce more serious songs, doing their own thing, switching from covers of medieval staple songs (Herren der Winde and Verteidiger des wahren Mets are covers).
Their first 3 Albums were Prima Nocte (First night, the right of a lord in medieval times to f*** a newly wed wife before the husband did, so the theme is clear here :P ), Met und Miezen (Mead and Kitten (or the p-word)) and Metvernichter (Mead destroyer).
So, from the name of the albums you get the jizz, what their songs are like.
Feuerschwanz, in the beginning, were an awesome liveband, but you couldnt stand more than 2-3 songs listening to, while driving in the car.
For me, that changed with Sex is Muss (sex is a must, its a wordplay on the word sexism). The texts were mostly still goofy, but the sound changed and they became more palatable, even when sober. Methämmer is by far my most fav album. So many bangers on this one!
So yeah. Growing up in Germany, with its RenFairs neraly every weekend (and believe me, you dont see Elfs and Orks on most of them) the medieval scene in germany is pretty big. Reenactment is a huge hobby, and with all those castles around, you can guess, we love a bit of history here and there...
But if youve been to the 100th Renfair and have listened to the 1000th bad medieval band, compyling of 2 Bagpipes and 2 davuls for hours and hours.. youre sick of this kind of music ^^
Good way to start my birthday! And hearing a band for the first time ever with tank. LETS GOOOOOO!
Well, let me just say: Happy Birthday! :-)
Happy Birthday (Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
The musical development during the last three albums is mindblowing. That 80s scream first appeared on the last album as far as I'm aware :)
I saw them live about a year ago, and when they played Ding, Ben did a really good job with taking over the vocals of Melissa.
Hi, I don't know if you have checked out the band dArtagnan already. It is the second band of the singer Ben Metzner and sounds like Musketier rock. They are really good as well. I would recommend "Feuer & Flamme" (Eng: fire and flame). He started the band because he wrote too many songs that did not fit for Feuerschwanz :D Also the song "Farewell" with Patty Gurdy is good, but definitly on the softer side. Both bands are live fantastic! Interesting to note is also that both bands play rock, medieval and metal festivals as well as in the most conservative german tv show with audience 60+ years. They just fit in everywhere :D
Just discovered your chanel and I like your reaction style very much!
I would love to see Feuerschwanz live, it'll be awesome !
I know this band since near 7 years now, my favorite song from them is "Prinzessin" ! Their new single remember me a mix between Beast In Black and Alestorm with a Skyrim vibe.
Love Folk/Viking Metal 🤘🏻 keep it up Tank !
That scream in the beginning giving me Beast in Black vibes xD
But damn that chorus ... yea, that will stuck in the head for a while...
Yesss I'm especially excited for this one!!
I've been listening to this song on repeat all day yesterday haha
I LOVE Feuerschwanz! So creative and the musicianship is extraordinary.
Beast of a tune! Great info and breakdown on this, thank you dude!
It's so uplifting to watch you react to this kind of music. I think medieval / medieval metal music may be the musical genre that I have the longest history with (starting at the tender age of maybe five or six and going on for the last 26 years) and still this song managed to get me hyped up all over again. You are absolutely right, the chorus is awesome. It makes me wanna drive as fast as (safely) possible with my car (luckily I live in Germany) and roll my windows down at red traffic lights to let the drivers on the other lanes participate. 😂
So please keep reacting to this kind of music - it's always so much fun to watch!
On behalf of longer outro: it is one of my favorite parts of your videos, especially if you watched the video a second time before recording it, because it gives me a more collected and settled overview of your opinion and often times something to think about.
So thanks for your work and greetings from a non-satuated Folkmetal fan from germany 🤘
Ben is such an amazing vocalist,
thx tank, for your videos, it is always a good time watching em :)
So fun. Love the celtic sound. Need more of this band, a pirate ship. And a sandy beach to come home to. Great reaction, love your perspective as always. Thank you so much!!
So happy to see the band is getting some attention from overseas. We have a few amazing bands from my home area. Keep enjoying them
I watched the video when it came out on their channel.
It is a very fun song (again) from them. But the production quality of their videos also is impressive. I am really looking forward to the new album, this should be fun.
Dude i love you so much reacting to our german medieval, metalcore doesn´t matter what kind of german metal music. it´s just so impressive how other people from other countries react to music i am listining to and they are amazed the same then i am.
Man that chorus is catchy in the best possible way. And I still can't get over Han's guitar tone. How does a guitar sound that chunky and the that clean at the same time? I love it!
always love your reactions you do with those bands. I'm totally into that kind of music and would love to see your reaction for: Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Tanzwut, Corvus Corax, Cultus Ferox... lovely greetings from (E)Germany
Your German is getting better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍀🍀🍀
Kerim, Germany
i really love that on many of your german band reactions people from the bands keep popping up in the comments. Guess that shows how your content really strikes a chord (yes, i am so corny that i did that on purpose) with the german audience.
The Music behind his Words, from 01:20 to min 01:40 is from "Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings"
Seeing your beard evolve through time is really amusing to me (it looks really great on you, I'm kinda jealous !)
Grüße aus Deutschland.Tolles Video.Feuerschwanz ist genial.
Hab das Video nur angeklickt weil es um Feuerschwanz geht.Aber dieser Moderator ist so sympathisch ❤Will jetzt alle seine Videos sehen.Nicht nur dieses eine,mit Feuerschwanz.Von mir ein Abo und 👍
Great reaction Tank, I figured you’d like that one as soon as I first heard it. It’s absolutely epic for Feuerschwanz and I think I agree that this may be my fave of the songs of theirs I’ve heard so far. Though I’m really into their cover of I See Fire right now too.
So come on Tank, Orden Ogan next, I suggest you start with ‘Gunman’ or ‘F.E.V.E.R.’ and you’ve gotta check out Majestica - Metal United, it’s their homage to the likes of you, the roadies, the tech crews, the stage builders etc and even the fans. 🙂🤘🏻
I just want to point out that if you buy / pre-order make sure to get a package with at least 2 CDs, because the second one is a bonus disc with another 7 covers like with the "Das Elfte Gebot" album, and those will definitely rock as well!
I was able to see them live some years ago. they're amazing live, as well. i really hope I can see them in concert again...😭❤️
I'm happy you reacted to that :)
Nice Reaction! 🤘🏻 Greetings from German's Friends!
Top 5 reactors on RUclips, love the great breakdowns and nowadays the beard jewelry. Keep em coming man, good stuff!
Thanks man!
I love these guys great reaction lad 🤘🤘🤘
Napalm records introduced me to at least three bands I listen to on the regular this year. One of which I'm seeing next year.
That chorus is insane. I’m rewatched 5 times so far
And another good response to another good video.
In case no one has brought it to your attention, there's a band called Gyze, that has one called Samurai Metal. They are showing some pretty nice looking instruments...and having fun with friends.
I can only wholeheartedly recomment you to witness one of the most outstanding songs "das Hildebrandslied" performed from the German pagan-metal band: "Menhir"
This song was purely sung in old-high German and their performance of it has rithfully owned his staus of being absolutely legendary !!
So a reaction to their video would actually be extremly awesome..!!
Kudos to you for your German pronounciation, it's really good!
It would be quite terrifying to see such a ship on your local fishpond a few hundred years ago, to say the least. And the folklore is full of water-based demons and other not exactly friendly creatures. The song itself is really, really good. It never ceases to amaze me how well you can blend different flavours of folk music with metal.
I am not going to repeat the whole thing about Nemophila again, but I have an alternative for the first song, if you want to give this band a try. They will release a new single on 13th October, which is called "Revive" with a music video. The preview sounds very promising. The song will be in English for the first time, but there will still be subtitles to make it easier to understand, I believe. They used an interesting stucture for filming - Meiji Centennial Observation Tower.
Im from germany and Im NOT over this kind of music 😅
thanks for another great reaction --- hope u and yours are well ---
Yes. YES!
We are all waiting for this reaction. Just read the comment section of the original video 😀
They also got a great cover of Sabatons Gott mit uns 👍
I'm telling ya Tank...only a matter of time before Napalm & Nuclear Blast both hire you as their US PR Guy. This song & music video were good already but your genuine enthusiasm puts it over as must see / must buy.
Just another great reaction from you ❤been a Feuerschwanz for many years now, saw the live three Times and it's always a massive Party 🤘❤
Would love to see your reaction to one of my favorite Bands at the Moment:
Soulbound - Devil (german "industrial" Metal) 😊
Have a great Start in this week 🤘❤
I have seen them live several times during the last few years and man, they have really developed their style. :D
My favorite song of the band. I love the chorus!
Viking zombie apocalypse... 😅
Hilarious as usual. 😂
And yeah ... we have had this kind of music for decades now. But if it's done well and with this special humor Feuerschwanz has, it won't get boring.
This is really a crazy good band, great energy, great music, great production. I wanted to comment on your chat with your German friend, I can understand him, since Europe has so many similar bands, either viking, pirate or some medieval knight themed, just oversaturated. BUT! I personally think Feuerschwanz are one of the best in their field, sort of like Sabaton with the world war themes and Alestorm with pirate metal. And I think all these German songs sound so good because German language is more rash and heavy sounding. It just fits into metal music so well.
Oh and a recommendation I have for you, check out Warkings, they also did a Melissa Bonny feature on their song Sparta, and yeah it's gladiator themed metal :)
And lastly, great job on your German pronounciation, it's really good for a beginner!
Ha, Nikolay Georgiev sounds like a Bulgarian name. Didn't expect to see anything about a Bulgarian on this channel :D
Sick feature from the Dragonborn
Could you guys imagine hanging out with this man and crying because of good music 😄
The chorus of this actually reminds me a lot of the band "Santiano", which is more of a pure folk band but also has these kind of epic "sailor" choruses. If you want to check them out you could have a look at their song "Santiano" or "Frei wie der Wind".
That was an epic for the ages
Hey Tank
I would like to introduce you to the german band "Coppelius" with their song "Risiko"
They use clarinettes instead of bagpipes and instead of gitarre and bass they use a cello and contra bass
I think you would enjoy their different and unique style :)
And they are great Musicicans. Just do it.
Checked out Coppelius on Twitch recently when I was doing live reactions and absolutely loved them!
Just recently discoverd them myself, nice to see a reaction, i like it since theirstyle got heavier in my opinion.
I guess it´s even more epic if you speak german like I do, so im glad the german scene is on fire right now with many collabs, like a germanmedievalmusicgangbangsomething :D
Did ya know that "Schwanz" in German also refers to Dick? So me and my friends call it Firedick or Firecock ^_^
The chorus sounds a lot like the stuff from Santiano. All in all a nice song to sing along live.
very good, at least i'm not the only one who is forced by the wind pressure.😅
tank.
Archspire, Drone Corpse Aviator, pls.
Good look at their gear, great Music video to talk about production and fx, and a killer track. i implore you to add it to the queue!
(I refuse to quit)
I agree!!
Haha, I feel your friend. I was into medieval Live Action Role Play from 1997 until my kids were born in 2010 and 2012. So I listen to a looooot of medieval metal/rock bands at this time (Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Corvus Corax, Schandmaul and so on) and I'm really over it. But Feuerschwanz are just so much fun (esp. live and the videos are hilarious) and my kids love them, so they've won a place at the family-playlist 😁
Such an epic song!
The confusion yet laugh on his face when he noticed that his beard beads were gone was a moment to enjoy XD
The drumming on the upcoming album was not done by Rol(lo/f) btw, they recorded the tracks before he joined the band. So (according to the band's social media livestream before this song's premiere) their producer Simon Michael, who is also the drummer of Subway to Sally (and other bands apparently), took over the drums for the album.
Interesting fact! Thanks for the heads up!
Hey Tank, you really should come to Germany and visit some of the music medieval festivals here. Like the MPS (Mittelalterlich Phantasie Spektakulum - medieval fantasy extravaganza). There are playing bands like Saltatio Mortis and other bands. This year it had been Saltatio Mortis, Feuerschwanz and Subway to Sally.
This festival is also once a year in Berlin. And the rest of the year all around in Germany.
"Our sail brings the death..." Lets go, guter sound
Again great reactions video from you!
To feuerschwanz-topic=
Love their way from funny medieval lyric band to folk power metal stuff. Huge evolution from them.
Many people in germany think, the band is already stay in their old silly (but for me and many others funny) stuff... but the last two records, and that upcoming one, is great power metal stuff.
Oh, at that thing... tank, how about the new stuff from "rage" ?
Have a look or ear into it. Good power metal stuff with trash parts.
Greetings from germany... stay metal \m/
🤘🤘🤘
in germany we still love stuff like this!!! 🤘🤪🍻🦬🐺🦅⚔⚡
As you are deep in the Celtic/norse/Viking genre, one of, if not the best, songs is made by Tyr. A band from Faroe Islands, inhabited by 50.000 people. They had a colab with the Symphony Orchestra (crazy that they have one) and I’m linking the whole concert from their offficial page. The song I recommend starts at 1:08:40, and is called Ormurin Langi
ruclips.net/video/BkQ8YhLgrqg/видео.html
Týr is amazing
The problem with this kind of music is that ever since In Extremo made it super popular in the late 2000s, we got A LOT of bands trying to jump on the hypetrain, so eventually it became really generic and everyone just got kinda tired of it. Now there's 2 things I wanna note: I personally think Feuerschwanz is making much better music than In Extremo, at least lately, and the first band to do this kinda of Folk Metal style was actually not In Extremo, but Subway to Sally. They have been formed in 1992, and their last 2 albums have just been kicking ass in my opinion. If you ever want to listen to StS, I highly recommend one of their latest singles called "Island" for the newer stuff, or "Veitstanz" for their older stuff, which actually does have an amazing new live video featuring some other bands that you migh recognize :)
Good song, nice reaction video.
Fantastic!
I discovered them about a week before "Das Elfte Gebot" was released. I bought the vinyl edition, have few t-shirts, hoodie and a huge Feuerschwanz flag in my living room hanging up (use to have an old gas heater in that spot). I pre-ordered their new album in the CD Box set and vinyl edition, costing me around $200 AUD. Man, I hope the rest fo the album is as good as this song, lol. Hans made a post on his Instagram account about the unique guitar he plays in the video too :)
@Tank : The singer in the beginning is d'Artagnan, a Folk music singer who appears as a guest in this video. Hope you get to see such a band like Feuerschwanz live!
Parasite Inc "Once and For All",
Vreid "Wild North West".
Let's gooooo!
Actually, it's Ben Metzner, who is a singer for both this band (Feuerschwanz, as "Hodi") as well as for the band dArtagnan, his younger "side project" :-)
Sorry but you´re a bit wrong. dArtagnan isn´t a singer it´s a band. The singer is Ben Metzner and he is a singer for both bands Feuerschwanz and dArtagnan
PARASITE INC.!!!!!! YES!!! Do it Tank!!!!! But I recommend their song "Cold Silent Hell", cause of that more than brutal groove in the verses.
@@sebastiankappler9474 Ey, no music video for that ;) No gear breakdown for Tank...
@@doberhoula Okay, my bad - I always took d'Artagnan for an artist (nickname). I admit I like a few songs of the band, which I now know is a band :D
Nikolaj Georgiew, who did this video, also did the videos for their songs "Ding", "Das elfte Gebot" and "Meister der Minne" (both also great songs with great videos, hint hint ;-)
That was great reaction. This song is super catchy.
BTW I not ask is that gear was unplug-in. 😉
Hahahahaha. Thanks Mariposa!
Great reaction Tank! Made an otherwise shitty day a lot better 😬
Glad I could help!
Had a bit of Santiano. But also when Feuerschwanz isn't my favorite this song is awesome.
Bloody good reaction as always old chap. Just btw - will we be meeting you next year at the W:O:A?
Most likely not next year, but hopefully the year after that!
Your second Tank fact contains a small error: "premiered on YT on Sept 30, 2001" Gab's da youtube bereits? xD Spaß, 2021 war gemeint.
Yeah, that's why I have the "FACT CHECK" in the video description. Hahaha
I think that oversaturation is only a part of the problem.
Now, there are plenty of bands to go around but it's not like they play it on the radio much so the danger of getting sick of the genre because you hear it everywhere is slim. However, you can get the impression that too much german rock talent is going into this genre except to more traditional Rock/Metal bands (like Accept, Helloween or Blind Guardian). I don't think this is actually true, but you can get the impression.
And then there is also always a certain cringe factor to the entire genre. People who are not into that kind of stuff get pretty much the same impression "ordinary" people get from AD&D like fantasy. This is made worse by the fact that medieval rock bands sing german. In Germany we are used to not understand the lyrics of songs that are constantly played on the radio. Many are shocked of stupid those lyrics are if they actually listen to them or read a translation. I have to admit I am among those: I don't think I could bring myself to listen to Manowar if I would actually listen to the lyrics. My point is: By actually being able to understand the lyrics, it is easy to be turned off by them.
Still, there are huge, HUGE differences in lyrics quality and style between the different bands. Feuerschwanz, for example, is pretty much a straightforward fun band, so cringy lyrics are ususally not as much of a problem. And even they have occasional songs with actual somber and thoughtful lyrics. (like "Im Bauch des Wals" on their last album)
I feel that German lyric part you meantion so much. My girlfriends hates hearing music with german lyrics because she understands whats being said and is either shocked or cringed out by it plus she says she can't focus on the music and sound when shes hearing the german lyrics liek they are distracting her.
Another example would be myself. I can understand most english songs from the get go without reading into the lyrics and still enjoy them a ton, but a lot of times when i hear german lyrics in songs i just dislike it... like i really don't like how it sounds or feels. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike every german song but a lot of them just because they're in german.
When it comes to those celtic, folkish sounding bands its mostly a phase where i somehow dig this sound no matter the language just for the instruments and the feeling they provide and after that i somehow wonder how i could listen to those songs and after a while I go medieval again :D
You really gotta do Subway to Sally next. Its the last of the Big 3 German Medieval Metal bands you are missing
Finally. Was always wondering why noone mixes Vikings and Zombies :D
Awesome!
Hey Tank, since you keep continuing your journey that is the Rabbit Hole of german medival metal, you should really check out another big Band from that Genre called:
SUBWAY TO SALLY.
Sadly, they don't have too many music Videos (some great are: Sieben, Wenn Engel Hassen, Sag dem Teufel)
But they have a LOT of Live footage vom some of their greatest Songs like EISBLUMEN (which was later covered by a german Mainstream Artist who named herself after that song, Eisblume) or Auf Kiel.
Tank, I don't often make suggestions.. But if you were to look at Majestica's Above The Sky.. Lots of gear, lots to unpack ;)
Checked it out on a Twitch Stream quite a few weeks ago. So damn good.
@@TankTheTech Aw hell yeah, I'll have to go back and find that! Wish I could catch the streams, but the time zone difference is utter ass, and I'm fast asleep when you start! lol
Great song, great reaction.
You should try "Friede sei mit dir" (= peace may be with you) from the german band "Die Apokalyptischen Reiter".
Great and powerful song. Give it a try 😉
Ah, bah, there's no oversaturation of this kind of music here (surprise! "Here" is Germany🤣) for me that is, I love this mixture of medieval-market-feel with some lack of seriousness - I first got into this style with In Extremo's appearance in the first "Gothic" game... wow this has to be decades ago already...I was younger...🤣
Best regards and have fun struggeling into German language aometime... I'm thankfull I'm a native speaker...

Love the channel! I wonder when we will see Rammstein on it!
Probably never, because I've been listening to them since 1997 and am super familiar with everything they've ever done.
@@TankTheTech fair enough! I was just curious about the gear and the pyro that they use.
uhhmmm yes. way of vikings at the beginning in the background👍👍👍
