Feuerschwanz (Fire Tail) started as a straight up parody band back in the days (2004) with Hauptmann Feuerschwanz (Captain Firedick [yes, different translation than the band's name]), main vocalist on this song, the last remaining founding member. Their original material is usually in German but for the last two albums (Das Elfte Gebot in 2020 & Memento Mori in 2021) they recorded a bonus disc for the deluxe editions with seven cover songs each. Some of those are in English and in one case even Romanian (Dragostea Din Tei, original a 2004 summer dance hit by boygroup O-Zone). Can't go wrong with anything from Das Elfte Gebot & Memento Mori. Untot im Drachenboot (Undead on the Dragon Boat) is just great and the cover song Ding (Thing), which by the way features Melissa Bonny of Ad Infinitum, is a banger.
When a Roman general had his triumph, the slave holding the laurel crown above his head was whispering to his ear 'Memento mori', remember you are mortal.
Fun fact: Feuerschwanz has actually 2 lead vocalists, "Hauptmann Feuerschwanz" you saw here and "Prinz Hodenherz" (the guy with the bagpipes). Depending on the song, one or the other takes lead, or both switching within the song. If you guys want to hear some party stuff of them, check out "Metfest" (Mead Fest) or, if you are interested in something REALLY epic, have a look at "Warriors of the world united", a Manowar cover featuring other great vocalists of the scene, namely Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum), Thomas Winkler aka Angus McFive (Gloryhammer) and Alea (Saltatio Mortis).
A fantastic band and live even better! I had the luck to see and shoot them several times, recently at M'era Luna festival even full show. I can tell you, their show was hot as hell and this in a double meaning ;-)
Have you already checked out German medieval metal band "Saltatio Mortis"? The best way to start with them are the latest three songs with incredible videos, that will blow your mind: "Pray to the hunter" "The dragon born comes" "My mother told me" For a live experience: "Spielmannsschwur" live from Wacken 2017
Honest and nice reaction, thanks. :) Feuerschwanz is such a great band, love them. I will see them live in April 2023, will be a big blast! They have many more really (!) good songs like BadMoonHorrors already told ya.
Here are the translated lyrics of "Memento Mori" --> "Remember Death"
[Intro]
Memento Mori1
[Verse 1]
I saw the ferryman2
He was so horrible and beautiful
The ones who left us have sailed in his barge
They were neither poor nor rich
And their eyes, so bleak
They had nothing that's of use in the realm of the dead
[Refrain]
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
[Post chorus]
Memento Mori
[Verse 2]
I have felt the fetor
I have touched the cold earth
But in its passing, life has seduced me anew
I loved and I lost
But I rose again
With my naked fist to the sky I have sworn to myself
[Refrain]
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
[Instrumental break]
[Refrain]
And that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
Memento Mori, till death sharpens its knives
Yes, that's why we live right here
That's why we live right now46
Memento Mori, for you'll take nothing with you to the grave
But your coffin
