The folk metal stars of FEUERSCHWANZ release their second single with the catchy name “Berzerkermode”. The new studio album “Fegefeuer” will be released on July 7th, 2023!
Germany’s currently hottest band, FEUERSCHWANZ, invites you to the Berzerker Gym and today releases the second single from the upcoming album Fegefeuer. The new single “Berzerkermode” comes with an official music video feat. Tik Tok Jesus scottywartooth, Miss Universe and other bodybuilders
The new studio album Fegefeuer will be released on July 7th, 2023. The successor to the successful 2021 album Memento Mori (#1 official German album charts) is fully committed to metal and thus continues the band’s path away from the fun rock of bygone days.
FIRE TAIL to “Berzerker mode”:
“Pump like a viking – fire tails are in Berzerker mode! Our latest work is about martial masculinity, hardened wannabe Vikings and Valkyries on steroids. To celebrate the ultimate Berzerker party, what is probably the most famous leek in world history becomes a protein-loaded power pumper in the Viking Gym!
Don’t try this at home. Berzerkermode ON!“
Founded in 2004, FEUERSCHWANZ have developed from their roots in comedy medieval folk rock into a band that should be taken seriously – of course, the well-known wink and the fun factor should not be missing. With the move to Napalm Records ahead of the release of Das Elfte Commandment (2020), FEUERSCHWANZ has fully committed to metal – and has become one of the most important German bands in the genre. The enormously successful previous album Memento Mori (2021) stormed straight to number 1 in the official German album charts. On Fegefeuer, the band around founding member and singer Hauptmann Feuerschwanz, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Hodi, as well as Johanna on the violin, spices up their medieval-inspired folk metal with heavy metal influences.
Purgatory opener “SGFRD Dragonslayer” starts off as a pure heavy metal anthem: lyrical allusions to the legendary dragon slayer Siegfried combine with hard riffing and Nordic mythology. For the second track “Bastard von Asgard” FEUERSCHWANZ got support from singer Fabienne Erni from Eluveitie. The catchy party anthem “Berzerkermode” blows to mead and rum at the Viking party. The first three album tracks and the epic “Highlander” in particular are the best proof of the band’s development from comedy rock to metal. Other tracks like the intense title track “Purgatory”, the Lord of the Rings rallying cry “Uruk-Hai” and “The Horde” go straight to the heart of longtime fans of the band.
