When you guys do your first US tour, I will be there as well! I cannot wait. I started hearing you guys before the Memento Mori videos were getting uploaded. I love this
OK... 2 minutes in... "I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this one". Me checking the video length and thinking "Yeah right, a 4 minute song and a 15 minute reaction." 🤣
So, I know nothing about instruments, but I do know weapons, so here goes. The technical term for the group of weapons that a halberd belongs to is polearm and halberds are one of the more prolific type of polearms. The halberd developed from the voulge - in fact, early halberds were called a Swiss voulge. As the name suggests, the halberd was first made famous in Switzerland, though its use spread all over Europe. It was most popular north of the Alps, but could be found everywhere, although in Britain, the bill was by far the most popular polearm. The halberd rose to prominence in the mid to late 15th century and was used well into the 16th century, but with firearms becoming more and more prevalent on the battlefield, it as eventually eclipsed by the pike. However, halberds were used all the way up the 18th century and still used for ceremonial purposes, most famously by the Swiss Guard of the Vatican. As for the specific one used by the Hauptmann, I will use the suggested new halberd typology suggested by Casper J. Van Dijk in a March 2020 article. Using that typology, this halberd has a either a Type sIIa or sIIb point and socket - it’s kinda hard to get a good look at the socket. This type of socket has a rectangular profile and often, the point is not located directly in line with the socket, as appears to be the case here. In addition, the point can consist of a spike with a diamond-shaped profile or can consist of a flat top spike with no thickening, like a spear. Here, it is the spike. The blade and hook profile and quite interesting and does not seem to match any specific subtype. The closest would be Type I.A, subtype I.A-1, but this normally has a slightly concave edge, where Hauptmann’s looks to be convex. All of this means that this type of halberd is from around the beginning of the 16th century. In fact, it look similar to a halberd depicted in a 1517 painting called “Hellebaardier in liefde onstoken voor een naakte vrouw” in the Dutch Rijksmuseum. Anyway, any other questions about weapons and armor in these videos, feel free to ask. :p
Man, I love how so many types of different nerds (and I say that term with a lot of love) find common ground in this band. Thank you so much for this info, it's really interesting!
One of my favorite things about Feuerschwanz is the energy they show, even in their Videos. But especially Johanna. Whenever you see her playing, she looks she's having the fun of her life, like *this* is exactly where she wants to be. And honestly, that's something I aspire to do more - just live in the moment, enjoy some activity or music, without thinking about all the shit that's happening in the world.
Ben plays nearly every Typ of fiddles, mandolins, Irish Bouzouki, acoustic guitar and (my Personal favorite) bagpipes. And as a cherry on the cake, he can sing and it sounds so good. 😂
You can say what you want but Feuerschwanz went through some impressive developement during this covid crap. Not that they were bad before or something, but the last two albums where really really good. The same applies to all their recent videos. Awesome quality and production!
@@xDasMottex I read somewhere that they had a higher budget for videos since Napalm, and Napalm probably also does a better job at promoting them. The musical development had started years before that though, you can hear it starting several albums back.
Feuerschwanz is now on a level of its own. As a German myself, I can say no metal German band since Rammstein has ever impressed me that much. With the release of Memento Mori these guys just blasted the door open. World beware... Feuerschwanz is coming for you 🖤🤘
Thank you so much for your awesome reaction video - you always discover so much stuff that most people probably don’t see, like with the thunder harp for example 😇 Always enjoy watching you here!
Memento Mori is a very fun album. I think for those that do not speak german, it might be said there is a cover B-Side which is almost exculsively in English, with Warriors of the World cover, Twilight of the Thundergod, the Bad Touch all of which are outstindingly good metal covers. There most recent video is dragostea din tei, which came out a few days ago and is also funny as hell.
Just their rendition of Dragostea din tei alone is already funny as hell, the video just makes it even more silly. At least the Hauptmann's armour won't get sunburn.
This song is live an absolutely banger. They split the crowd in two halfs and the one side shouts "HU", followed by the other side with "HA" in this song.. Absolutely love it!
You can see the construction of the "Thunder Harp" in the making of video for Ultima Nocte. In it, they asked the fans what to call it, so this might be the name that was settled upon. Also, he plays it in the Warriors video as well. And regarding the emotionality of their songs - if you haven't, you should watch and listen to Auf Wiedersehen on the Auf's Leben album. Ben wrote it when his mother died and I played it at my wife's funeral. It hits so damn hard. Even if you don't do a reaction because it's an older song, well worth the time.
I would love to see Feuerschwanz getting big in the US I would bet my last Shirt that if Feuerschwanz would Tour in the US, it won´t be without our Tank as a Tourmember. Thanks for the graet reactions and greetings from Germany
These guys should be huge in the entire world! The talent, the showmanship, the pure epic sound.. This is what the world needs! This is what I need! \m/

Great reaction as always! You should definitely consider putting "getting drunk on a german medieval market" on your todo-list. This may bring your perception of this kind of music even on another level! 😁
Thank you one more time, for two simply reasons: 1) i love your video reaction because is the same for me (headbanging, shake the body, horns up), powerfull energy, unstoppable positive vibrations. 2) In this case i found a (for me) new band to be heard during my radio broadcast here in Rome. Thank you again, for all the music. Cheers, respect and horns up my friend 🤘. See you under the stage to the next concert.
Feuerschwanz really has become a huge fave ever since I stumbled on it thanks to your vids. Would love to see them become more popular here in the states and hopefully they get to tour here too!!
I discovered these guys a couple weeks ago. Their Wacken 2022 show popped into my feed and had me bouncing like I’d been to a live show. Their music kicks so much @$$, and there’s so much musicality built into their work. The US needs this stuff in a big way.
Right there with you on being REALLY into the German folk metal stuff right now. Seeing that you mentioned d'artagnan, the one of theirs that I keep going back to is Farewell (and no, that is not JUST because of Patty Gurdy being in it...)
Dude thanks for introducing me to feuerschwanz! These guys have earned a spot on every one of my playlists time and time again On another note Bloodywood dropped a new song the other day “Aaj”
This video is such a treat to all the senses! The way that Ben js delivering the song makes it sound full and just encapsulating. Also the way visuals and the production hypes up the song and makes it feel epic!
It is so nice that you like the Music of my childhood (JBO) and the other stuff i listen for years now :D (Feuerschwanz, Eskimo, Orden Ogan, Nightwish, etc.). Now you habe to try the next Band from Erlangen, Fiddlers Green with irish speed folk. Wall of Folk is realy nice and so many other songs from them. Thanks for so much more music i would have never heard of without your Channel too. Grüße aus Nürnberg (near Erlangen) :D
This one is one of my favorites from the album. But to be honest: most songs if not all of them are at least good. If not even better than good. I love "Am Galgen" since it goes a bit more in the fun/older stuff the band did. It just sounds super fun melody wise, and has fun text. I also adore "Herz eines Drachen" - so much emotion in that. Krampus and Ultima Nocte are just head bangers. The solo parts here I think are just perfect. You have Fiddle supported by the guitar - and I love that they give the fiddle some space to shine, but then switch to put the guitar more in the foreground while getting supported by the other instruments, going back into the chorus... its just... so great
Hello Tank , I like your Reactions . And Feuerschwanz is on of my favorite Bands . The new Album is very awesome . Another Band in these Genre are "Tanzwut" . The actually Song is "Pack" with Alea from Saltatio Mortis . Greetings from Germany . 🤘🤘
Typically I am more into the Japanese music than the largely European tunes on your channel, but I have to credit your channel for getting me into this band and subsequently Melissa Bonny through her collabs with this band and then Ad Infinitum. I know a large chunk of folks that check out reactions are already fans of the bands, but this is a case of becoming a fan because of (your) reactions. Thanks for your content and I hope the bands and labels appreciate it too.
Well, on our personal discovery we develop tastes/preferences. An exception is being raised up on something via family. I'm German but it wasn't that long ago that I discovered German Rock, Metal and also Folk for myself. It by far isn't as good promoted as a lot of foreign stuff or poppy national stuff.
Third bigger band from Erlangen I know is Fiddler's Green (a bit like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys). Amazing what this one town has brought to life. :)
Aha, so you finally checked out d'Artagnan? They're actually the band that got me into German metal, even though they're considerably less "metal-y" than most of the others I've discovered in the last year. Glad you liked them!
Your warriors of the world reaction convinced me to listen to the whole memento mori album and this is one of my favorite tracks! It’s just so dang catchy
Hi tank Pura Vida this reaction Gonna be Amazing actually Ultima nocte is one of my favorites song from the new Album from my friends from Feuerschwanz and thank you for your awesome reactions grettings from Costa Rica Und Pura Vida mi Amigo 🇨🇷✌🏼🇨🇷
feuerschwanz are really a great band with amazing and cool members. rolf is a pal of my brother. they make me smile and in a good mood. so good, that a metalband could reach no.1 in germany again. erlangen by the way was traditional an instrument builder region. the "höfner" guitars for example were also from there.
The first time i heard this band was when they released "krampus" . They are fantastic! I loved your reaction! I literally have to headband when you do cause i can't stop myself lol Also i love how emotional the music makes you cause it does the same to me
Tank. Thank you for all of your high quality content. Your Reactions are on Point. I see no one on RUclips, who says his opinion as authentic as you do. Keep up the fantastic work and I wish you and your family all the best for 2022 :) Greetings from Germany
i cant wait to see them life again, and playing this song. damn the lyrics just invite for a lot of crowd interaction it will be awesome and energising
Great reaction, as always, man! This is quite possibly my favorite song of the album (and that's saying a lot given how awesome the rest of the album is). Musically, it definitely feels like a sequel to _Unter dem Drachenbanner,_ which was my favorite song on the previous album. Although this song doesn't hit on the same personal level with the lyrics as its predecessor (as something of a 'misfit' myself, _Under dem Drachenbanner's_ story of misfits/outcasts fighting side-by-side together resonated with me a lot), _Ultima Nocte_ is still an absolute banger, and gets me fired up for 'battle' (or really, just to do whatever I need to do) every time I hear it. Like you said, Feuerschwanz can evoke much stronger emotions than one might expect from a somewhat goofy folk-metal band. I'll never ceased to be amazed by this band's ability to make me feel energized, optimistic, and just _enthusiastic about being alive._
Honestly, I never listened to Feuerschwanz much before, but I listened to their recent album because of tank, and I can say it's fucking awesome, it's one of those albums I can listen to from start to finish and enjoy the whole thing, which is rare for me! Also if you do see this tank, I recommend you check out In Extremo, and the song Troja, these guys are the godfathers of this genre, you'll more than likely enjoy it
Like everytime, nice Vid man 🤘 Was reminded of myself as you said from metalhead to medival/folk. Back than a grim true black metaler to a folk and medival metaler😄 And yes, their songs are goosebumpy to eye wetting...for me on this Rohirrim and Herz eines Drachen Cheers from Germany 🍻
Nena and her song 99 Luftbalons was big in the US singing in German. Then she re-interpreted it as 99 red baloons in english lyrics and it got even bigger.
What really sticks out on the entire album, for me at least, is their cover of Der Graf by Die Ärzte. Hauptmann really delivers some expressive and emotional vocals on that one.
next would be dragostea din tei since they just released the Video for that Cover :) Also there is a third very popular Band from Erlangen. If you want to, you could check out "Fiddler's Green" Well not quite metal but rather Irish-Folk-Punk-whatever-you-would-call-it. Best comparison to US Bands would be Dropkick Murphy or Flogging Molly. And iirc the current violin player of Fiddler's Green was Johannas/Staphanies predecessor in Feuerschwanz
Tank it's incredible to see how emotional you became at the end - a lot of dudes can't get it I don't know why. I mean, look at this great description you'd done, with so much passion and delight in there. Dude, you rock that so hard that I have to subscribe and follow you. Hopefully we can meet once a time coincidental at any Concert in Germany. Would be a pleasure on me, be well bro !
I hope that in this year 2022 the tours are allowed to start again. With my new job and "normal" working-shedule, i habe to go to so many concerts. And Feuerschwanz is one of then for sure. Would try to make it to Wacken also. Thanks for this video, great as always. Love your stuff, even from my point of view as an event-technician. And it is so cool to Follow your way into medieval-metal. 😉 If you ever make it to northern germany, just tell me. Keep up the nice work!
Hey Tank, as always: Great video, I am listening to Feuerschwanz all the time currently! And of course I really enjoyed watching you play the kitchen util vs Instrument game on New Years with those guys ;-)
The german folk-/medieval rock/metal scene is so much bigger than u expect, Tank! ;) I have so many bands in mind that you probably never even heard of. Like: Vogelfrey, Harpyie, Versengold, Mr. Hurley & die Pulveraffen, Schandmaul ...just to mention a few :) Some of them have a less rock influence and are more poetic or even with a pirate influence. ☠ But all worth to listen to! But, again a new masterpiece from Feuerschwanz, as I've expected. Cheers
It's really cool to see you enjoying Feuerschwanz this much even if you don't speak german. We have many really good folk metal bands around here, maybe you can try out: Harpyie (they just released their newest album "Blutbann") Subwy to Sally (I recommend "Königin der Käfer" from their newer songs) And if you like to explore a more lyrical rock/metal band from germany, you should check out ASP. Their albums are mostly concept albums where you can find references to several themes on different songs and even albums. I think that's really cool, if you want to give them a try, just look for "Raise Some Hell Now!" I really like your reactions and detailed analysis! \m/
Man, we all noticed you love this kind of folk metal stuff, so you could check out one of the recently more hyped Japanese bands, Gyze. It is basically melodic death with a few classical Japanese instruments, and a lot of humour and puns in the videos. I would suggest 2 videos from their 2021 EP. Samurai metal- the guys from A&P reacts were featured in the video beside a ton of musicians, or Oriental Symphony, which is a Wintersun scale and average length masterpiece. 😁
As always a very good and informative video, Tank! If you want to check out another very good band from Erlangen, may I suggest 'Fiddler's Green'. They're an Irish Speed Folk/Punk band and their violinist was the first violinist of 'Feuerschwanz'. I'd suggest 'One fine day' from their 2019 album 'Heyday'
It's still frustrating... so many German bands and no Callejon 😅 but like I said... I won't stop my friend ! Pleeeeeeaaase react to Metropolis by Callejon ! You'll fall in love with this band I promise ! Much Schnitzel love from Germany 🖤
Always love your reactions with Feuerschwanz. Have you seen their latest video for Dragostea Din Tei, it's great fun. I really want them to do the video for Bad Touch now but keep the monkey outfits that the Bloodhound Gang use. Seeing Hauptmann as a monkey with his armour on xD
really.... those flame fans look really great if it´s completely dark and them the only lightsource.... seen that on a medieval fair a few times... never gonna forget it...
Great Video as always. If you like this style you should check out "Finsterforst". They are a German folk/medival metal band too. Theire style is a little bit darker but musically really good.
Whenever i listen to you i hear jax teller from sons of anarchy 🙂 Love your reactions, keep up the great work! Discovered feuerschwanz and powerwolf only because of your channel - and i am from Germany 😂🤘🙏
Don't know if it's my Scotch/Irish, German or Scandinavian heritage or maybe because it's just that great but I've recently discovered German folk metal bands like Feuerschwanz and Soltatio Mortis and I'm loving it.
Can I say also a big RIP to the singer of meatloaf a good legend of music. This band has been bringing out good music all the time and I say are up there with the best folk metal bands
Ich find die MEEEEGA GEIL!!!! Erst Sabaton, Powerwolf, Amaranthe und nun Feuerschwanz! So rockende Bands! 🤘 I love how you pronounce Feuerschwanz^^ Their "HUH HAH!" reminds me of Powerwolf's in Werewolves of Armenia. I have never heard so much "f*cking" like in this video xD I hard laughed with every that is censored with 🇩🇪 XD But we really say a lot "verf*ckte Sche!ße" or somethin :D
The thunder harp is actually build by them. There's a bts video where you can see it. They say it's a Bass attached to the hellbarde. Over all I love your reactions🤘.
Hi Tank! Really enjoy your content! As for the video it is really good! Did you know that the singer Ben (aka Prinz) is also the main singer of a folk rock medieval band named dArtagnan? Their last album is amazing! And the new singles out for the next one are equally great!
Love your stuff man, very recent subscriber but I'm working through your catalogue. PLEASE do a live Rammstein track. You've said before you love pyro, these guys take it to a whole other level. Including setting themselves on fire!
Hey Tank, nice Reaction as always! Since you Love Melodic Death Metal, and you rly liked Be'Lakor i can Only recommend Countless Skies, its a Melo Death Band from the UK and they are named after a Be'Lakor Song. Would Love your reaction to these Guys!
It's an absolute great song. But do you know that there is a new song from Feuerschwanz since yesterday? I love that song. The title is 'Blinding Lights'.I hope you make a reaction video about it.
not only feuerschwanz and jbo are from erlangen, the videogame publisher GIANTS, which publish the farming simulators, is based there, its a hotspot where good things are coming from, similar to fanlun

My girlfriend's family in Germany make Seifert violin (and maybe cello?) bows, the shop is in Bubenreuth/Erglangen...the street is called Mozartstrabe. Every 2nd street seems to have a music store of some kind. Definitely a very musical area.

When you guys do your first US tour, I will be there as well! I cannot wait. I started hearing you guys before the Memento Mori videos were getting uploaded. I love this

Great reaction as always! You should definitely consider putting "getting drunk on a german medieval market" on your todo-list. This may bring your perception of this kind of music even on another level! 😁
I know this video is several years old at this point, but I love the faint alestorm's drink playing in the background at the beginning.
Thank you one more time, for two simply reasons:
1) i love your video reaction because is the same for me (headbanging, shake the body, horns up), powerfull energy, unstoppable positive vibrations.
2) In this case i found a (for me) new band to be heard during my radio broadcast here in Rome.
Thank you again, for all the music.
Cheers, respect and horns up my friend 🤘.
See you under the stage to the next concert.

try this then...
@@Metzwerg74 ahahahahahahahahahahahahah now the song are more sense than before.
Feuerschwanz really has become a huge fave ever since I stumbled on it thanks to your vids. Would love to see them become more popular here in the states and hopefully they get to tour here too!!
I discovered these guys a couple weeks ago. Their Wacken 2022 show popped into my feed and had me bouncing like I’d been to a live show. Their music kicks so much @$$, and there’s so much musicality built into their work. The US needs this stuff in a big way.
Right there with you on being REALLY into the German folk metal stuff right now. Seeing that you mentioned d'artagnan, the one of theirs that I keep going back to is Farewell (and no, that is not JUST because of Patty Gurdy being in it...)
Dude thanks for introducing me to feuerschwanz! These guys have earned a spot on every one of my playlists time and time again
On another note Bloodywood dropped a new song the other day “Aaj”
This video is such a treat to all the senses!
The way that Ben js delivering the song makes it sound full and just encapsulating. Also the way visuals and the production hypes up the song and makes it feel epic!
It is so nice that you like the Music of my childhood (JBO) and the other stuff i listen for years now :D (Feuerschwanz, Eskimo, Orden Ogan, Nightwish, etc.).
Now you habe to try the next Band from Erlangen, Fiddlers Green with irish speed folk. Wall of Folk is realy nice and so many other songs from them.
Thanks for so much more music i would have never heard of without your Channel too.
Grüße aus Nürnberg (near Erlangen) :D
It's funny that I had already been in those castle ruins for a photo shooting around 10 years ago 😅
This one is one of my favorites from the album.
But to be honest: most songs if not all of them are at least good. If not even better than good.
I love "Am Galgen" since it goes a bit more in the fun/older stuff the band did. It just sounds super fun melody wise, and has fun text.
I also adore "Herz eines Drachen" - so much emotion in that.
Krampus and Ultima Nocte are just head bangers.
The solo parts here I think are just perfect. You have Fiddle supported by the guitar - and I love that they give the fiddle some space to shine, but then switch to put the guitar more in the foreground while getting supported by the other instruments, going back into the chorus... its just... so great
Hello Tank ,
I like your Reactions . And Feuerschwanz is on of my favorite Bands . The new Album is very awesome . Another Band in these Genre are "Tanzwut" . The actually Song is "Pack" with Alea from Saltatio Mortis .
Greetings from Germany . 🤘🤘
Typically I am more into the Japanese music than the largely European tunes on your channel, but I have to credit your channel for getting me into this band and subsequently Melissa Bonny through her collabs with this band and then Ad Infinitum.
I know a large chunk of folks that check out reactions are already fans of the bands, but this is a case of becoming a fan because of (your) reactions. Thanks for your content and I hope the bands and labels appreciate it too.
Well, on our personal discovery we develop tastes/preferences. An exception is being raised up on something via family.
I'm German but it wasn't that long ago that I discovered German Rock, Metal and also Folk for myself. It by far isn't as good promoted as a lot of foreign stuff or poppy national stuff.
I really love how your eyes are watering up. It shows how awesome music can fuel our emotions. It’s cool to see how the music gets into your heart!
I'm absolutely REdiscovering bands now lately with Tank ❤️ Love it!
Third bigger band from Erlangen I know is Fiddler's Green (a bit like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys). Amazing what this one town has brought to life. :)
Yeah, Erlangen is my favourite town. About 100k inhabitants but feels like a small town. Has a great university etc.
@@1IGG I've attended a conference in Erlangen's university once. It is really nice there.
This song hit me immediately when i listened to the album. The melody is infectious.
Aha, so you finally checked out d'Artagnan? They're actually the band that got me into German metal, even though they're considerably less "metal-y" than most of the others I've discovered in the last year. Glad you liked them!
"Cest la vie" is awsome! Lieblingssong.
Your warriors of the world reaction convinced me to listen to the whole memento mori album and this is one of my favorite tracks! It’s just so dang catchy
Yay, yay, yay! Another great reaction from "the man"! I loooove it!!! Keep on going!! 🤘🔥
Hi tank Pura Vida this reaction Gonna be Amazing actually Ultima nocte is one of my favorites song from the new Album from my friends from Feuerschwanz and thank you for your awesome reactions grettings from Costa Rica Und Pura Vida mi Amigo 🇨🇷✌🏼🇨🇷
Your German is getting better and better 😁
feuerschwanz are really a great band with amazing and cool members. rolf is a pal of my brother. they make me smile and in a good mood. so good, that a metalband could reach no.1 in germany again. erlangen by the way was traditional an instrument builder region. the "höfner" guitars for example were also from there.
The first time i heard this band was when they released "krampus" . They are fantastic! I loved your reaction! I literally have to headband when you do cause i can't stop myself lol Also i love how emotional the music makes you cause it does the same to me
Tank. Thank you for all of your high quality content. Your Reactions are on Point. I see no one on RUclips, who says his opinion as authentic as you do. Keep up the fantastic work and I wish you and your family all the best for 2022 :) Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much!
i cant wait to see them life again, and playing this song. damn the lyrics just invite for a lot of crowd interaction it will be awesome and energising
Great reaction, as always, man!
This is quite possibly my favorite song of the album (and that's saying a lot given how awesome the rest of the album is). Musically, it definitely feels like a sequel to _Unter dem Drachenbanner,_ which was my favorite song on the previous album. Although this song doesn't hit on the same personal level with the lyrics as its predecessor (as something of a 'misfit' myself, _Under dem Drachenbanner's_ story of misfits/outcasts fighting side-by-side together resonated with me a lot), _Ultima Nocte_ is still an absolute banger, and gets me fired up for 'battle' (or really, just to do whatever I need to do) every time I hear it.
Like you said, Feuerschwanz can evoke much stronger emotions than one might expect from a somewhat goofy folk-metal band. I'll never ceased to be amazed by this band's ability to make me feel energized, optimistic, and just _enthusiastic about being alive._
I know the Part of the Song where this Thumbnail was made 😆 Most Metal Moment in the Band's History 😅🤘🏻
Honestly, I never listened to Feuerschwanz much before, but I listened to their recent album because of tank, and I can say it's fucking awesome, it's one of those albums I can listen to from start to finish and enjoy the whole thing, which is rare for me!
Also if you do see this tank, I recommend you check out In Extremo, and the song Troja, these guys are the godfathers of this genre, you'll more than likely enjoy it
Like everytime, nice Vid man 🤘
Was reminded of myself as you said from metalhead to medival/folk.
Back than a grim true black metaler to a folk and medival metaler😄
And yes, their songs are goosebumpy to eye wetting...for me on this Rohirrim and Herz eines Drachen
Cheers from Germany 🍻
Nena and her song 99 Luftbalons was big in the US singing in German. Then she re-interpreted it as 99 red baloons in english lyrics and it got even bigger.
What really sticks out on the entire album, for me at least, is their cover of Der Graf by Die Ärzte. Hauptmann really delivers some expressive and emotional vocals on that one.
Love how happy they all look throughout the video. They look like they are just enjoying life 😂🤙
next would be dragostea din tei since they just released the Video for that Cover :)
Also there is a third very popular Band from Erlangen.
If you want to, you could check out "Fiddler's Green"
Well not quite metal but rather Irish-Folk-Punk-whatever-you-would-call-it.
Best comparison to US Bands would be Dropkick Murphy or Flogging Molly.
And iirc the current violin player of Fiddler's Green was Johannas/Staphanies predecessor in Feuerschwanz
Tank it's incredible to see how emotional you became at the end - a lot of dudes can't get it I don't know why. I mean, look at this great description you'd done, with so much passion and delight in there. Dude, you rock that so hard that I have to subscribe and follow you. Hopefully we can meet once a time coincidental at any Concert in Germany. Would be a pleasure on me, be well bro !
Better than watching just the video. Congrats !
Hans is just the man, Amazing talent
Hey Tank, I've become a fan of yours because you really show emotions with music that touches you. I wish you a nice weekend
Thanks Enrico!
I hope that in this year 2022 the tours are allowed to start again. With my new job and "normal" working-shedule, i habe to go to so many concerts. And Feuerschwanz is one of then for sure. Would try to make it to Wacken also.
Thanks for this video, great as always. Love your stuff, even from my point of view as an event-technician. And it is so cool to Follow your way into medieval-metal. 😉
If you ever make it to northern germany, just tell me.
Keep up the nice work!
Hey Tank, as always: Great video, I am listening to Feuerschwanz all the time currently! And of course I really enjoyed watching you play the kitchen util vs Instrument game on New Years with those guys ;-)
Wow just wow there's nothing these guys can't do amazing as always my friend great reaction great band what a song 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes! Love this song ever since I heard it new years eve! This whole album is amazing
Just found out they not only sung about Hannibal from Carthage, but also about the Rohirrim? I am so stoked for the album! Been rocking out at work 🤘
I love you got alestorm playing in the background
I saw them last year, they had one little gig at a convention festival and it was fcking awesome.
After that album I definitely want to see them again
This one is probably my favorite song from the album. its just so good again.
their music fires me up so much i love it
The german folk-/medieval rock/metal scene is so much bigger than u expect, Tank! ;)
I have so many bands in mind that you probably never even heard of.
Like: Vogelfrey, Harpyie, Versengold, Mr. Hurley & die Pulveraffen, Schandmaul
...just to mention a few :)
Some of them have a less rock influence and are more poetic or even with a pirate influence. ☠
But all worth to listen to!
But, again a new masterpiece from Feuerschwanz, as I've expected.
Cheers
It's really cool to see you enjoying Feuerschwanz this much even if you don't speak german. We have many really good folk metal bands around here, maybe you can try out:
Harpyie (they just released their newest album "Blutbann")
Subwy to Sally (I recommend "Königin der Käfer" from their newer songs)
And if you like to explore a more lyrical rock/metal band from germany, you should check out ASP. Their albums are mostly concept albums where you can find references to several themes on different songs and even albums. I think that's really cool, if you want to give them a try, just look for "Raise Some Hell Now!"
I really like your reactions and detailed analysis! \m/
Man, we all noticed you love this kind of folk metal stuff, so you could check out one of the recently more hyped Japanese bands, Gyze.
It is basically melodic death with a few classical Japanese instruments, and a lot of humour and puns in the videos.
I would suggest 2 videos from their 2021 EP. Samurai metal- the guys from A&P reacts were featured in the video beside a ton of musicians, or Oriental Symphony, which is a Wintersun scale and average length masterpiece.
😁
This was fun, I´m gonna listen to the album now, volume set to 11🤘
Hi Tank. BLOODYWOOD has a new song out. Your review/reaction is what we are all waiting for.
On the list of things to do!
As always a very good and informative video, Tank!
If you want to check out another very good band from Erlangen, may I suggest 'Fiddler's Green'. They're an Irish Speed Folk/Punk band and their violinist was the first violinist of 'Feuerschwanz'.
I'd suggest 'One fine day' from their 2019 album 'Heyday'
Man, them, subway to Sally, Schandmaul, bring back sooo many memories of us youngens in goth drab at the renessance fair 😂
Another great song, thanks Feuerschwänzler!
Informative as always the good TANK and so high quality content
I live these guys. Once again Germany comes out on top, both vocals and instrumentals. Thanks 😊
It's still frustrating... so many German bands and no Callejon 😅 but like I said... I won't stop my friend ! Pleeeeeeaaase react to Metropolis by Callejon ! You'll fall in love with this band I promise ! Much Schnitzel love from Germany 🖤
Tank, please try this one:
Russkaja - Russkie Style
Sounds Strange, but that Band is an outstanding live performing Band. You will love it :)
Psycho Traaaaktor!
I have to agree. Russkaja and Tank will be a perfect match and Russki Style is a great way to start that journey!
Half metal, half ska, they are hilarious.
Always love your reactions with Feuerschwanz. Have you seen their latest video for Dragostea Din Tei, it's great fun. I really want them to do the video for Bad Touch now but keep the monkey outfits that the Bloodhound Gang use. Seeing Hauptmann as a monkey with his armour on xD
really.... those flame fans look really great if it´s completely dark and them the only lightsource.... seen that on a medieval fair a few times... never gonna forget it...
i like your passion for music... thank you for that!
This album fills my soul with happiness!
Great Video as always. If you like this style you should check out "Finsterforst". They are a German folk/medival metal band too. Theire style is a little bit darker but musically really good.
Whenever i listen to you i hear jax teller from sons of anarchy 🙂
Love your reactions, keep up the great work! Discovered feuerschwanz and powerwolf only because of your channel - and i am from Germany 😂🤘🙏
I love the cover 'der graf' on this album
Don't know if it's my Scotch/Irish, German or Scandinavian heritage or maybe because it's just that great but I've recently discovered German folk metal bands like Feuerschwanz and Soltatio Mortis and I'm loving it.
Can I say also a big RIP to the singer of meatloaf a good legend of music. This band has been bringing out good music all the time and I say are up there with the best folk metal bands
Meatloaf was a big part of my childhood. 2nd concert I ever saw. Bummer.
Ich find die MEEEEGA GEIL!!!! Erst Sabaton, Powerwolf, Amaranthe und nun Feuerschwanz! So rockende Bands! 🤘 I love how you pronounce Feuerschwanz^^
Their "HUH HAH!" reminds me of Powerwolf's in Werewolves of Armenia. I have never heard so much "f*cking" like in this video xD I hard laughed with every that is censored with 🇩🇪 XD But we really say a lot "verf*ckte Sche!ße" or somethin :D
The thunder harp is actually build by them. There's a bts video where you can see it. They say it's a Bass attached to the hellbarde.
Over all I love your reactions🤘.
I LOVE Feuerschwanz ♥
Hi Tank! Really enjoy your content! As for the video it is really good! Did you know that the singer Ben (aka Prinz) is also the main singer of a folk rock medieval band named dArtagnan? Their last album is amazing! And the new singles out for the next one are equally great!
Nevermind! Just heard you name the band 😂😂
Love your stuff man, very recent subscriber but I'm working through your catalogue. PLEASE do a live Rammstein track. You've said before you love pyro, these guys take it to a whole other level. Including setting themselves on fire!
Hey Tank, nice Reaction as always! Since you Love Melodic Death Metal, and you rly liked Be'Lakor i can Only recommend Countless Skies, its a Melo Death Band from the UK and they are named after a Be'Lakor Song. Would Love your reaction to these Guys!
It's an absolute great song. But do you know that there is a new song from Feuerschwanz since yesterday? I love that song. The title is 'Blinding Lights'.I hope you make a reaction video about it.
not only feuerschwanz and jbo are from erlangen, the videogame publisher GIANTS, which publish the farming simulators, is based there, its a hotspot where good things are coming from, similar to fanlun
Thanks for this React!
Great music song. Rock
Not sure if you saw, but Bloodywood dropped another music video this morning. If you thought it was impressive that they self produced the last one, wait until you see this one!

Did u have tears in ur eyes!?
My girlfriend's family in Germany make Seifert violin (and maybe cello?) bows, the shop is in Bubenreuth/Erglangen...the street is called Mozartstrabe. Every 2nd street seems to have a music store of some kind. Definitely a very musical area.
There is also an really epic Powermetal Band called FreedomCall from Erlangen. They classify their sound as happy Metal and are just fun to listen to
i guess if they enter the eurovision song contest.. i would say it will be a win.. it was so long time ago a metal act won.. 2006 Lordi..
