Feuerschwanz - "Kampfzwerg" | ROADIE REACTIONS [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2021
- After months of you guys telling me I'd like this band, I finally give Feuerschwanz a listen with their brand new video for "Kampfzwerg"... And man, I wish I would have gotten to this band sooner.
FACT CHECK/CORRECTION:
Meinl Percussion was not founded in Gutenstetten, Germany like my pop-up said; that's where it's current headquarters are located. The company was founded in Neustadt an der Aisch, a small town in the northern part of Bavaria, Germany.

Fantastic Reaction Video, thank you! And special thanks for commenting the guitar solo 😊😀
Dankeschön, Hans! So happy I’ve finally discovered your band’s music and your superb guitar playing! 🤘
@@TankTheTech you should check out the solo stuff Hans does!
Love your work Hans. Stumbled across it with the release of the Ding video. The cover of "I See Fire" is my favourite though. As far as i am concerned that's your song now.
@@JMurdochNZ Haha, thanks Joel! I actually like the vibe of the original version, too :)
@@HansPlatz Oh definitely, Ed's best song by far. He is a good writer. But that mix of heavy guitars and the violin in your version, and the way it explodes out of your speakers at the beginning just brought the drama of the lyric to another level. Loved it so much I learned to play it on guitar.
For the non-German-speakers around: in Germany we sometimes call short, quite aggressive people (we all know and love someone like that, let's be honest) 'Kampfzwerg', but just in an endearing, loving way ;)
As you are so much into German medieval metal, there is one band that is a „must“:
In Extremo
In Extremo (Latin for At the Edge; abbreviated InEx or IE) is a German Medieval metal band originating from Berlin. The band's musical style combines metal with Medieval traditional songs, blending the sound of the standard rock/metal instruments with historical instruments (such as bagpipes, harp, hurdy-gurdy and shawm). Versions of well-known traditional/Medieval ballads make up the main part of their repertoire, but the band has written an increasing share of original material in recent years. Their own material is written in German, whilst the traditional songs and cover songs are in a variety of languages.

Seen InEx several times at Wacken and cringe each time they try to sing Herr Mannelig or Villeman og Magnhild. Einhorn isn't even trying to pronounce the words properly. Corvus Corax is also a must in my book. Well, at least watching the Carmina Burana show they had at Wacken 2009.
lets be real in extremo is so fucking insane i think they are the biggest band in this genre from germany
If you'll do Schubsetanz by Feuerschwanz I'll wish you do a double-reaction "normal version" vs. "black metal version" and for your understanding, Schubsetanz stands for mosh pit :D
Metfest ist auch super ^^
Did you know, Sasha, Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis and some others did a song together?
It goes by the name of "Kaufmann & Maid" and the video can be found on the youtube account of Saltatio Mortis.
"Sasha,Subway to Sally,Feuerschwanz,Tanzwut,dArtagnan,Patty Gurdy - Kaufmann & Maid"
He needs to see that!
@@jonathan-yd3se And try not to laugh at Sasha.
This was born from a Comedy show , asking random people what songs they would like to he
You should definitely check out "Ding" from "Feuerschwanz", it's an absolute awesome Cover! If you won't love it, I will shave my head ;)
Yes, amazing version!
... and there will be some English vocals in - sort of. ;-)
Seeed is one of the guilty pleasures, and that cover is quite enjoyable
That was my introduction to them. It's really good. Melissa Bonny is excellent in there.
A great way to introduce Tank to the absolute talent that is Melissa Bonny.
Here are some noteworthy songs by Feuerschwanz: "Ding", which is a cover of a song by a German Reggae/Dancehall band Sseeed, featuring the amazing Melissa Bonny from Ad Infinitum, "Das Elfte Gebot", the title track of the last album, and the cover of Sabaton's "Gott Mit Uns" and Rammstein's "Engel". Some of their older "classics" are "Metnotstand im Märchenland", "Auf Wiedersehen" (a gut wrenching farewell song to someone who passed away), and "Schubsetanz". Of this, they have recently released a black metal version, where they go all Dimmu Borgir on you. If you want to know more about Hans the guitarist, check out his channel, he's got an awesome solo album, did three covers of GoT music, and tons of other stuff like playthroughs where you can nerd out about all his gear.
More bands to have a look at: Tanzwut, Corvus Corax, Schandmaul, Subway to Sally.
oh, one more project to check out: "Die Kreatur", which features Chris Harms and Dero from Ooomph! - which is also a band you really should check out
I would add "Im bauch des wals" also from Feuerschwanz last album...
@@drakhogekko Definitely. Feuerschwanz have one "serious" song on every album and this is it for the last album
@@Andy_from_de well, I'd say they put at least two on this album... Das elfte gebot and Im bauch des wals ;)
Well said, you pretty much just covered everything I was about to say. Also Melissa Bonny is fantastic with her 2 bands, Rage Of Light and Ad Infinitum. And Prinz R Hodenherz III (Ben Metzner) of Feuerschwanz has another great band called D’Artagnan. 🤘🏻🙂
The singer, Ben, is also in the band D'artagnan. Their video Farewell with Patty Gurdy is insanely catchy and cute. And yes, Mittelalterrock is a thing. Another fun thing is Sasha der Barde & Mittelalter Allstars (Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis, Tanzwut, D'artagnan, Subway to Sally, Patty Gurdy etc) with Kaufmann und Maid
I am sort of hooked on C'est la vie from dArtagnan.... must be the combination of german and french in one song :)
@@Simba368986 I love "C'est la vie". The song is so life-affirming and energetic. "Was wollen wir trinken" by dArtagnan is fun as well.
@@Simba368986 Don't underestimate the power of musketeer metal ;) And C'est la vie would be my second choice after Farewell
Dudeldei :)
Was hopping you would get here. Thank you Germany been listening the heck out of them for the past year now.
Feuerschwanz are really fantastic live band (had them several times in front of my lenses) with an incredible and crazy live show full of crazy things happening.
You should really get the lyrics as they are always hilarious. Also the band members names are well thought and all „below the belt“. Already the band name: Literally translated it means „Fire tail“. But „Schwanz“ is also a word for mans most private part 🤣
I've already said it and I'll say it again - IN EXTREMO!!! PLEASE!
Man, you have got to come to wacken. A couple of years ago they integrated ther own "medieval metal village" wich is called the "Wackinger Village (obviously a pun on Wacken and Vikings)" in the festival, with street food, highland games, axe throwing, bow shooting and god knows what and of cours the "Wackinger Stage" where they usually have the smaller folk and medieval metal bands that did not make it onto the big stage.. and I can assure you, there are a ton. I guess you could spend the whole festival just there.
As you probably might know, Germany has a very vibrant medieval market scene with a couple of traveling medieval markets. The evolved into medieval metal festivals, and they have a big crowd following them around. One of the bigger ones is the MPS (Mittelalterlich phantasie Spectaculum = medieval fantasy spectacle), the events where Saltatio Mortis grew big. So if you ever come to Germany (if not Wacken) check if there is something going on near by.
You need lyrics. Not knowing the lyrics is like listening to a Weird Al Yankovic song without understanding the lyrics. You'll miss a lot of the fun.
Title: Battle dwarf
We are dwarves to fall in love with
Live far from the light of day
Are driven by the greed for gold
And don't like pointy ears
Small, compact, stout in stature
We love mead and we forge metal
Comparing our virility
We drink the barley juice
Bearded, broad and well-nourished
Born for battle in the belly of the mountain
Battle dwarf
I am a battle dwarf
And when we sing praises of war
We consume smoothies of hops
So that our voices sound louder
And compensate for our lack of size
Finding female dwarves here is futile
They also have beards, that's hereditary for us
Comparing our virility
We drink the barley juice
Bearded, broad and well-nourished
Born for battle in the belly of the mountain
Comparing our virility
We drink the barley juice
Bearded, broad and well-nourished
Born for battle in the belly of the mountain
Battle dwarf
I am a battle dwarf
Battle dwarf
I am a battle dwarf
I'd rather translate it as "comparing our virility". As they basically drink to test their manliness. In comparison with would mean you compare the drinking to their virility.
To add to the insanity here are the translations of their stage names Tank included in the Tank facts:
Prinz R. Hodenherz III = Prince R. Testicleheart III
Johanna von der Vögelweide is a play on Walter von der Vogelweide a medieval German poet whose name basically translates to "Walter from the bird field". Vögeln is a slang term for intercourse so her name translates to Johanna from the f**k field.
Jarne Hodinsson plays on Scandinavian naming traditions where you might get Odinsson = son of Odin, but he of course is Hodinsson which again draws from Hoden, testicles.
And Sir Lanzeflott is of course a take on Sir Lancelot, with flott meaning fast or swift and Lanze meaning lance and by now we all know what kind of swift lance they have had in mind with that...
Now I want to see him react to Diggy Diggy Hole from Windrose
ua-cam.com/video/34CZjsEI1yU/v-deo.html
They are also affiliated with Napalm Records, so lot's of laughs should be expexted
@@BeOtterMyFriend verdankt, ich wollte ihn gerade überreden, dass er es selbst übersetzen probiert.
@@g.frankenberg Doesn't that play as the ending song? So I guess he knows...
about the part that reminds you of a rammstein song: its not because its german, thats my motherlanguage and it sounds similar to me aswell^^ the violin part and the "kampfzwerg" shout sounds like the electronic part followed by the "deutschland" shout in deutschland (to my ears alteast)
also if u want to check out an english speaking german folk band: check out fiddler's green, it not metal and but its really solid irish folk rock. great songs to start would be "victor and his demons" (if u want to have an entertaining video to watch) , "a bottle a day (Official live video)" or "scolding wife (official live video)"
It's funny you mention that Rammstein song. I just watched The Charismatic Voice react to that song on my way into work this morning.
Fiddler‘s Green are a fun band to listen to. Their music always improves my mood and I find myself grinning from ear to ear right after the first song.
Funnily enough, that part of "Deutschland" sounds similar to Anne Clark's "Our Darkness" 😄
There are curently some awesome bands in germany, Feuerschwanz is one of them... You might like to have a look to, for instance, In Extremo, Tanzwut, Mono Inc, Subway to Sally, Schandmaul and, of course, Saltatio mortis but you kinda know them already.
I'm echoing others here: Schubsetanz (maybe normal + black metal version as a double), Meister der Minne, Das Elfte Gebot, Malleus Maleficarum, Metfest... Their latest album has just so much good songs and their biography before it doesn't sound bad either. I'm glad you found them - and when it comes to "we not telling you", imagine spoiling all the fun!
The covers are also great. I love Engel, I see fire and Gott mit uns.
A Feuerschwanz song you could check out is "Schubsetanz". It is by no means one of their best, and it sounds a lot like a Saltatio Mortis song, BUT they also made a black metal version of this song, that they premiered on that live stream concert seen in the "Kampfzwerg" video, and that version is kick ass.
As for other German folk/medieval bands, you cannot go wrong with In Extremo. I don't know many of their songs, as I only lately got into them, but they showed up in a German RPG called Gothic with their song "Herr Mannelig".
And then there's Mr. Hurley und die Pulveraffen, but they sound like Alestorm without e-guitars and with German lyrics. Mr. Hurley are wild, their shows are amazing.
Mr. Hurley shows are just wild! Have seen them so many times now and it was always a fckin blast! Sadly I think they won't work that well, if one cannot understand the lyrics, as they are the biggest part of the bands entertainment :/
The In Extremo album that also houses Herr Mannelig is nice, but a few years later, they had a 'mondern' phase, which was....not so good, imo.
Why should we have told you why you'd like Feuerschwanz? Your reaction to their music is priceless.
Other notable songs from Feuerschwanz: Ding, Metnotstand im Märchenland, Schubsetanz und of course: Blöde Frage, Saufgelage.
Other bands to check out:
You heard them all already in the comments: Subway to Sally (medieval metal tending to goth rock?), In Extremo, Tanzwut, Paddy Gurdy, and of course Saltatio Mortis
Damn Tank, the beard trinket looks amazing on you! I'm so glad you're getting into medieval rock. I hope you'll like In Extremo too :)
Thanks buddy!
I'd really recommend the German band Kissin' Dynamite who sings in English, and their songs Hashtag Your Life, Legion of the Legendary, I Will Be King or You're Not Alone, as they are quite full of energy and their motto is Bring Back Stadium Rock
I haven't checked more than a like a few dozen comments down whether someone mentioned it, but on the offchance it hasn't been - first YAY Tank, I'm so thrilled your learning German, you're going to love it, I'm sure, but also this song has another meaning from the title that is idiomatic and therefore not immediately obvious - Kampfzwerg doesn't only mean 'Battle Dwarf' which is the literal translation of course, but as an expression, we call someone a 'Kampfzwerg' whose bravado is bigger than their size, but usually they can also back it up. Like, a short guy who would have got knocked around on the playground, so he's learned how to use bigger people's weaknesses against them and fights dirty :) It can be used both affectionately and derogatory and I think it gives a whole nother layer to the song. Just leaving this here!
that particular similarity to Rammstein you pointed out might have been because of the sentence 'Ich bin...' The Ich was pronounced very strongly and Rammstein has several songs that start phrases with 'ich' (meaning 'I' always followed by a verb), such as 'Ich will...' and many more.
Damn it's always a pleasure to check your channel to see Germans band that give you so much excitement 😍 greetings from Germany
Well played Solo Hans^^
Aber ich werfe einfach nochmal "Versengold" ein. Vieleicht mit "Thekenmädchen" oder "Der Tag an dem die Götter sich betranken"?
Das Elfte Gebot fänd ich ja auch gut :)
I'm a very simpe book lover: I see Skulduggery Pleasant in your picture, i press like :D
Just watched the original and now your reaction, didn't know Kampfzwerg was your first Feuerschwanz reaction. For some reason the intro to this song made it sound a lot like Rammstein's "Deutschland" to me 😅
Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole, man! idk if you saw my extended comment on the "Feuerschwanz - Ding" reaction video, I edited it right after you saw it and gave it a ❤️, but my recent dive into this genre is for a big part thanks to you, and it's so fun to see your reactions to these songs as I discover them as well 😁
I don't know if you've seen or heard Feuerschwanz's "Sex is Muss" song/video yet, it's very silly. I hope you kept working at your Duolingo German studies, so you understand more of these songs, especially the goofier ones 😁
And finally, I can recommend the band dArtagnan, the more serious, renaissance-themed other band of Feuerschwanz singer and bagpipe player Ben Metzner, their song "Farewell" featuring the beautiful Patty Gurdy has been stuck in my head for the past few days. Alternatively look for dArtagnan and Patty Gurdy's "Meine Liebste, Jolie", which is a mixture of live performance and music video, just like this Feuerschwanz video right here.
Yeah! Feuerschwanz is one of my favourite Bands and i love your Reaction Videos 😍 Greetings from Germany! 😊
If you like the Guitarist, there is some Guitar Stuff on his Channel ua-cam.com/users/HansPlatz 😉
I would definitely recommend checking out "Schubsetanz" (maybe even both versions back to back) but only with the lyrics. It's very hilarious and I think you would love not just the music but the lyrics too.
Also their cover of "Ding" with Melissa Bonny is really fun and amazing.
Kampfzwerg is also used (at least by my colleagues) to describe a fiesty person of limited vertical expansion. As for the vocals in this song, it's much more In Extremo than Rammstein :D Oh, and just so you know, this band is one enormous double entendre
Hi Tank,
Not sure if you'll ever do this, but heck I'll give it a shot. Couple years back Feuerschanz made a catchy little folky tune called Schubsetanz. It's basically about moshpitting, but disguising it as a "knight sport". And in 2021 they covered this song (yes, they covered their own song), but in BLACK METAL style (which is totally not something you'd expect from this band), including a new/another music video for it. :D It's really hilarious, and since you sometimes do double reactions, this is a great opportunity, I think.
Whether you do the reaction or not, just keep doing what you do Tank. I love you :)
Nice. The Charismatic Voice with with "Deutschland", and you with"Kampfzwerg". I had hoped for "Ding", however. You should seriously consider that, it's hilarious!
I met Ben Metzner on a Festival. He was really a cool guy. He came to our camp and started drinking with us.
Okay, In Extremo should be right up your alley then! Some of my personal favourites are songs like Frei zu sein, Sängerkrieg, Feuertaufe, Palästinalied, or Herr Mannelig.
Tank, 1 of the many things you do on your channel that I consistently notice is how you showcase the bands you review with the volume you keep them at during your reviews. So many channels I've seen either play the songs at lower volumes, or they just talk over the music. You, and Elizabeth, are 2 of the best at keeping song volumes consistent, while pausing to talk and rewinding so we don't miss anything from your exposition. Thank you, and keep up the great work! It is noticed.
Thanks a ton, man! Audio was always a bug thing to me even early on. I mean, we’re listening to music. Why try and bury it in the mix? Haha
It will start to get even more fun when you understand their lyrics (and their names 😁 - I had to chuckle every time one of them came up on the screen and I have no clue how to translate those).
FINALLY you get round to one of my fave bands! :D
Brilliant live - plus a bonus when they post on their facebook they'll be doing a meet in the public campsite at a festival and they'll turn up pulling a cart full of beer n mead and hand it round.
On a side note ... "Kampfzwerg" is also a colloquial term for a small person who's pretty direct and outspoken and who do not shy away from confrontation with people way larger then them - mostly used for small women and most of the time meant in a teasing yet friendly way.
If you like the sound of the Accordion, I recommend the band "Finsterforst". They are making very long, epic tracks lately (10-20 mins, sometimes close to 30 mins), but their early works are short and also kickass. They are a Folk/Pagan Metal Band from Germany, but their singer changed some years ago as well as their style. I recommend for their earlier works the track "Traumwald", for their later works "Zeit für Hass".
What I find amusing is that in some of the shots, you can clearly see a Snark headstock tuner on Ben's Bouzouki, and it's gone in others. Probably an SN-1 tuner. Cheers.
You need to check out Versengold and Mr. Hurley und die Pulveraffen!
They have really good music too. All of these bands have great live shows (includes Saltatio Mortis, Feuerschwanz, etc.). I got to know Saltatio, Versengold, Mr. Hurley and Feuerschwanz through MPS (a big medieval market with many events all over Germany).
I love watching your reactions. I was so happy when you reacted to Saltatio Mortis.
I also recommend "Schubsetanz" and "Ding" from Feuerschwanz. Both are more interessting than "Kampfzwerg". Bonus: "Ding" has a ridiculously funny video!!
Love that riff! damn its catchy! The overall guitar tone is so freaking good! don't know what it is about it, but it fits so well with the folk instruments.
You gotta check out their cover song "Ding" featuring Melissa Bonny. its so funny and awesome! :D Very underrated band in general! :)
That's really cool that you have started taking German lessons Tank!
Great reaction dude one More time awesome Information by you let‘goooooooo🤟🤟🤟
I really hope you give Knokator a try. They are really good, fun and an experience in itself.
Wow.. Feuerschwanz & In Extremo? That is so cool dude.. You know.. there are many guys doing reactions.. But I like you attidude, even your voice.. very positive.. no matter how hard you go! :) I will stick with you!
You should take a look at Feuerschwanz - Das Elfte Gebot (the title song from the current album). It combines really awesome music with a spectacular music video.
Also check out Feuerschwanz - Ding (also from the current album). It's a cover from the 2006 version of this song from Seeed (another german band) and it features Melissa Bonny. The music video was shot at Bogenwald, a german LARP village.
Not medivial metal, but really outstanding: Lord of the Lost. Try Loreley or Morgana from the Thornstar album, or the two latest releases from the upcoming album: "priest" and "for they know not what they do". The latter two music videos only, so no gear to check, however.
happy to see you like our music :D
So suggestions from Feuerschwanz: "Schubsetanz" or "Blöde Frage, Saufgelage" would be good ones
Other German Folk band (but way less metal and more folk) I can recommend is "Versengold" (check out their song "Thekenmädchen" or the live video of "Der Tag, an dem die Götter sich betranken")
Kampfzwerg is also a german slang term, meaning a person on the smaller side (not necessarily people with dwarfism but just smaller than average) thats physically strong or has a fairly agressive character (not necessarily in a negativ way). It can be meant in an endearing AND/OR derogatory way.
In this case, they are singing about actual dwarves and mining and drinking and stuff.
Feuerschwanz is from my hometown 🥰
First off, LOVE the Beard Cable. It looked HR Geiger-esque... until I put my glasses on.
Next : as my daughter taught me when she was in middle school orchestra, the main physical difference between a Fiddle and the Violin is the arc of the bridge... the violin tends to high a smaller radius (think 'neck') while the fiddle bridge is flatter, making it easier to grab three strings with the bow if you want. We only had one violin in our house, and my daughter would get PISSED if I left my fiddle bridge on it after the weekend... she'd open up the case at school, see it, and have to swap it out before her instructor caught on !
btw, Jan (who knits like a maniac and helps raise our Shetland Sheep) just leaned over my shoulder/pointed to your beard and said"Hei, I know that cable.... it's a 'Lots-a-Furs-Twist'.... just thought you should know. Your beard has a name, around here.
🤘🤘🤘
Nice German sound... 🤘🤘🤘Great choice.. LovE this guys and thx for showing them to me... Awesome ❤️🤘
Time to check out Feuerschwanz's 'Ding' !!!!
i like coming back to your older videos and watch you again discover bands for the first time - and now you've had Hans Platz on your podcast - next step for you is to see them live
Thanks for that awesome reaction! That perfect choice of intro and outro songs though 😂
I'd like to suggest "Kaufmann und Maid" by a bunch of members from Medieval Rock bands, including Hans Platz from Feuerschwanz 👍🏻 It's a parody with some background history, but that would be too much to explain 😄
Very nice, Tank! I didn't know much about Feuerschwanz other than that they existed, but their "names" (and also their lyrics) are hilarious. Especially "von der Vögelweide" gave me a good laugh, because that was exactly the joke that my 8th-grader self was making and giggling about when we learned about the bard Walther von der Vogelweide.
One of the members is a part of Dartagnan, you should check this band out!
German medival metal bands huh ... *inhale* Feuerschwanz, Corvus Corax, Harpiye, Finterforst, In Extremo, Vogelfrey, Haggefugg, Leaves Eyes, Equlilibrium (the old stuff), Subway to Sally, Nachtgeschrei, Schandmaul, dArtangan, Versengold ... and many more. I'm just out of breath. There are a lot. Great reaction. Wish you lots of fun learning german. Btw. In this songs were alternate names for beer such as amber nectar and hop smoothie 😁
You should absolutely check out Bens other Band dArtagnan, i specifically would recommend c‘est la vie (don’t worry, it’s still german not french, less metaly though)
I did not know this song. I now have to check out more of them. Thanks, Tank.
awesome reaction. love the beard style :)
There was a very good Norwegean folk rock band called Gåte that I recommend you listen to. They sing in Norwegean and are very folk music inspired. Calmer music than most you have done here but still clearly rock.
Once again, great video and thanks for helping me find another band to add to my now quite long work playlist!
Keep safe mate and hope all the family is safe and sound and that the small one doesn't keep you up to much during the night.
I tried to translate Feuerschwanz - Kampfzwerg into english.
I tried my best, but it's probably too literal from time to time.

Check out Wolfheart, The Hunt. The singer plays all instruments and has also fronted a few other Finnish bands. You'll dig it man.
Been hearing them from the very first day. What I think is really incredible is that some of the musicians don't even do this as a full time job. While some are full time musicians others do have another job on the side. (or the other way around) This being a result of this band being more of a hobby in the beginning. Thanks to the german Larp and medieval market scenes for bearing child to his awesome music!
THIS IS THE ONE I WAS HOPING FOR! You are the best Tank! D’Artagnan has one of these singers and I would love you to check out C’est la vie!
If you liked Feurschwanz, you should have a look at the other band of Ben Metzner who was the guy that played the Bouzouki. It is called dArtagnan and they are more folk rock than metal and they put in some elements typically known from German Schlager Music. Could be interesting to listen to.
I would recommend Farewell feat. Patty Gurdy
or An der Tafelrunde feat. Schandmaul (which is actually my favorite Band for many years now)
I absolutely love seeing you reacting to this kind of bands, it's simply great to see them getting some recognition from abroad. Kind of a shame that you can't understand the lyrics though, especially those from Feuerschwanz tend to be really funny...
Since a lot of people are telling you react to more Saltatio Mortis, but don't seem to actually recomend any songs I thought i'd drop a few suggestions.
Prometheus, Idol and Rattenfänger are all really cool and you can actually get live versions of these from Wacken 2017 (although the "live aus der Großen Freiheit" version of Idol is slightly better I'd say). This is a Band one absolutely has to see live, they simply thrive on interacting with their audience.
I personally would really like to see you reacting to Totus Floreo ( also live versions from Wacken available), and see what you think of that... It is a bit outside of what you normally do, but since you enjoy the folky suff so much I think you could really like it.
I was really supprised to see Feuerschwanz today since I just requested them the other day, great stuff, I love it :D
I hope to see you react to three bands some day. The first is Grand Magus a swedish trio that evolved from Doom Metal to more Heavy Metal stuff and is really riff heavy and their guitarist and singer JB just has an amazing deep voice. Hammer of the North, Steel vs Steel or Frejas Choice would be the best videos to react to I think. Hammer of the North is the iconic song I discovered them through. They have a lot of nordic themes and it all feels very epic.
The other one is The Sword, a band from texas, with a sound that I would describe as "old school". Maybe a little sabbath-y? A lot of great riffs too and just a good feeling. The Veil of Isis would be my go to video for them, Cloak of Feathers if it should be a little more mid-tempo.
The last one is 3 Inches of Blood, a canadian band. High speed, dead notes, a singer in falsetto and screams packed in between, they are just packed with "oomph". Deadly Sinners should be the only songchoice here. Sadly, they disbanded by now.
I would love to see you enjoy those three bands since they're a little lesser known (at least I think so) and kind of a hidden gem in my opinion. :)
You might also enjoy this German folk-rock group called dArtagnan. They sing in German with a very similar performance to this, and their most recent album has gone to a hard rock sound. I recommend "C'est la vie" and "Feuer & Flamme", plus "Farewell" has Patty Gurdy as a guest.
I have mad beard envy going on right now dude. Friend told me to check this band out ages ago and I just skipped over it but holy.. Im kicking myself for not listening sooner but I always love your reactions so I'm glad I can see this one!
If you're into german bands, definitely check out 'Aufbruch' by Der Weg einer Freiheit. It's german black metal and it's got an almost atmospheric vibe to it at times.
I'm so glad you liked this! Feuerschwanz are such a great band, absolutely hilarious to see live! Everything about them is amazing.
Edit: You might want to check out out Fiddler's Green, a German band that plays Irish "Speed Folk". They are amazing. Example: "Yindy", "Blarney Roses", "Down", "John Kanaka"
I would like you to react to "Meister der Minne" or "Das elfte Gebot" from the same album. These two are very good as well. In my humble opinion you can listen to their entire last two albums at least as they are really good and even better live in concert.
and fun fact: The girl kicking Ben's ass in the "Meister der Minne" video is Nicki, aka Lenora's Gewandungen, a fashion designer with her own company. So if you want your own medieval or fantasy costume, check her out :)
You could also like the band "Varg". German Band, Viking Metal with Black and Death Metal influences. Songs you could give a try: "Fara til Ranar" "793" "Dunkelheit" "Götterdämmerung" "Wolfszeit (2019 is a rerecorded version with better mixing and other lineup, they changed both guitarists, but vocalist and drummer stayed the same, 2007 is the original)
Great video as always! also was my first time listening to Feuerschwanz, hyped for the coming reactions!
I’m digging this song. The fiddle(?) melody in this song kinda reminded me of “Deutschland” by Rammstein 🇩🇪
I am interested in your this journey. Never heard of them as well but now I will.
A small correction on your Tank Note for Sir Lanzeflott and Meinl Cymbals. The company was founded in Neustadt an der Aisch in 1951 after the current CEOs father escaped Bohemia with his parents and the headquarters were moved to Gutenstetten in 2007 after running out of space in Neustadt.
I had the pleasure of going to school with Alexander and meeting Roland and Reinhold Meinl a few times when we would play after school at their house.
Yeah, the wording wasn’t perfect. The current headquarters is in Gutenstetten. Thanks for bringing that up, and what a cool experience! Thanks for sharing!
@@TankTheTech No problem, i love your reactions and would love to see a few more pieces on Heaven shall burn from you.
There was once a German Band called Schweisser. Their Style was Like a Lot of Band in this time "NDH neue deutsche Härte". But there lead melody Instrument was a Saxophone instead a Guitar. They where Like Rammstein or Oomph but with Sax. One of my favourite Songs "immer im Kreis" or "willkommen im Club"
Oh ja Die Schweisser. hab sie in den 90ern gesehen. weiß nicht mehr welches Jahr, aber es war auf dem Dynamo open Air, aber nicht auf der großen Bühne sondern in einem Zirkuszelt das da irgendwo auf dem Platz noch aufgebaut stand. war ne echt geile Nacht damals...ach ja die alten Zeiten...
I`ve seen Feuerschwanz live twice and they rock. from the first time i just remembered "Mono Inc" was on stage right after them and so i recommend have a listen to them (mono inc - children of the dark) the sond Children of the dark turned into a bit of the theme of the dark scene (metal emo everything) here in germany
If you like something similar, but a lot softer (more medieval and less metal), you can look at the second project of Prinz R. Hodenherz III alias Ben Metzner. (the one who plays multiple instruments).
The project is called dartagnan (the newer songs are also a bit harder). They basically sing about brotherhood, honor, partying and yeah... that's it. Great band 10/10, would hear again. :D (oh and as in a previous video: Feuerschwanz - "Ding" is great)
The biggest example for a german band in this direction (which was named a ton by now) is In Extremo. I personally don't like their newer stuff, but their older stuff is incredible.
Vroudenspil is a smaller group, which is a bit more fancy. Again a bit less hard than Feuerschwanz. But they also mix in a saxophone and an accordion. (Song (Corona Video): "Spuren im Sand" or "Kaleidoskop" (there exists a live video of it)
If you look for some "german produced irish folk", then we also have something to hand you:
Fiddlers Green (they sing in english, so you can understand everything) I would suggest something like "The night pat murphy died" or "Victor and his demons" (which is a bit more punk)
A similar band to fiddlers green (which is not german) is firkin or "Mr. Irish Bastard".
If you want some pure medieval bands (mostly bar songs or songs about some medieval/fantasy legends/stories):
Schandmaul (more about stories) - "Der Teufel hat den Schnaps gemacht" (The devil made the schnapps) or "Euch zum Geleit" (don't know how to translate. It is basically about the funeral of a dear person)
Versengold (more about partying) - "Thekenmädchen"
Ganaim
Faun (some people call them german non-metal nightwish. I personally would not go that far, but I can understand it from a sound-pov)
Of course there are a lot more bands, which would fit into this genre but those are some of the biggest (and my favourite ones :D)
Also I think that the lyrics are really important for most of the fun.
Have fun exploring this genre. :D
Thanks for reacting to Feuerschwanz. Have been hoping for a reaction on them for long time. Enjoyed it a lot. I hope you will react to them again one day. The girl's artist name is Johanna von der Vögelweide.... There's was this poet/singer/minnesänger Walter von der Vogelweide who lived from 1170 to 1230, medieval times. So I wonder if her name is a reference to him.
Of course it is, all their names are parodies. "Vogel" = bird, "Vogelweide" = bird pasture, "Vögel" = f*cking ... :-)
I jumped into the German language Metal Rabbit hole a few years ago. And Still falling and love the hell out of it. Feuerschwanz has landed in my all time top 20 bands, and i got 40 + years in. lol Hans Platz is a gifted guitarist. And the whole band is talented and creative as hell. Others have beat me to listing other bands, but I have not seen Nachtblut mentioned, And Schandmaul is great and has recorded with Tarja. As for other songs one of the really awesome things about Feuerschwanz is if they sing it, they will throw a creative video at it. Like 20 and up times, there whole career is documented. Enjoy!
Awesome! sounds awesome. I like "Ding" aswell, i know the rap song from a decade ago or something by the band Seeed which was really catchy and they made it into metal and its maybe even better now.
I fucking love Feuerschwanz.
Thank you for checking them out!
They don't get a lot of attention, even in Germany since they make less serious/party music compared to other bands from the medieval/folk genre (Eluveitie, In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis and so on), but they are still great :)
If you want to hear some more of their stuff, "Wir lieben Dudelsack" and "Metnotstand im Märchenland" are some of my favourite classics ;)
Something similar and completely different at the same time: the Band Finsterforst. I would suggest their song "Mach dich frei". I´m sure you would love this one as well.
Greetings from Germany. I love your videos and I'm happy that you love so much german bands :) You got my sub
Danke!
You could also try Dartagnan .. the lead singer is the gitarrist of Feuerschwanz .. songs like Farewell and Cèst la vie are quite new!
Dude, can I just say I’m so happy to see you react to feuerschwanz. First time I heard of them was literally on my birthday last year in June when their new album had come out and Ding was the first song I’d heard. They’re a great band lol
And yeah, check out their cover of “Ding” or “I see Fire”. I knew you’d love them Tank 😂
If you like Feuerschwanz, you absolutly have to react to the black metal version from Schubsetanz :D
Its absolutly amazing 👌
And greetings from Erlangen, Germany, the Feuerschwanz home base ;)
I think "In extremo" is a must see for you. Seen them live a couple of times. Great energy and awesome medivel metal Sound 🤘
"Hodenherz" and Lanzeflott"! lol! song is about drinking lots of beer, going to battle and forge a lot of metal. I think you guessed it already. thank you for your reaction.
The Rammstein song this song reminds you of is Heirate Mich from the Album Herzleid. :)
Really enjoyed that one, I love the use of traditional instruments in metal, I listen to a lot of folk music and have for over 30 years but Rock and metal will always pull me back to my roots.
Your pronunciation of Kampfzwerg was better than anticipated. LOL.
BTW, it translates to combat dwarf and usually refers to an angry little dog, but it can also be used to insult a man...
Great Job Man
Good reaction, Tank! Digging it =)
Thinking of the band Korpiklaani and their song "Wooden Pints" for a next step in your journey when it comes to folk rock/metal discovery: Korpiklaani "Wooden Pints" - fun song!
Again, pounding on:
Parasite Inc. "Once And For All" - melo-death band from Germany , and I know you love your melo-death ;)
Warbringer "Silhouettes" - In my mind the best of the newer thrash metal bands out there
Vreid - "Wild North West" - melodic black metal, Norwegian landscapes, great music and you get a look at their instruments too! =)
Thanks for the awesome Reaction. I hope at some day you check out In Extremo ( frei zu sein, Troja , Liam, Sieben Köche, Horizont ) , sound wise they do the same as Saltatio Mortis :D
