ROCKSTORY

"(FEUERSCHWANZ BIOGRAPHY)"

"Feuerschwanz was created as a comedic counterpart to the German medieval rock/metal scene that, according to the band, was taking itself too seriously. They originally played medieval folk, but gradually integrated more rock and metal influences into their sound over time. The actual idea for "Medieval Folk Comedy" came to Peter Henrici as early as 2000. He found a large part of the medieval scene to be too humorless and taboo and decided to found a parody band in the tradition of JBO . The realization of the plans began when Tobias Heindl, the violinist of the folk-rock band Fiddler's Green , heard the first material and became enthusiastic about it. So the two founded the band Feuerschwanz together with bassist Andre Linke. All three gave themselves pseudonyms for the project: "Captain Feuerschwanz" (Henrici), "Walther von der Vögelweide" (Heindl) and "Eysye" (Linke). . In November 2005 the first album Prima Nocte was released. [10] In June 2007, the second album was released under the title Met und Miezen , on which former members also participated as guest musicians. The band's fourth studio album, entitled Wunsch ist Wunsch, was released on March 18, 2011 and reached number 95 in the German album charts. This was followed by a tour of Germany and Austria. On August 31, 2012, the fifth studio album Walhalligalli was released , which entered the German album charts at number 37. On April 25, 2014, the band gave their 10th anniversary concert in the E-Werk Erlangen, which was sold out after a short time. In May 2015, the band was uninvited from the Fairytale Festival , organized by the AStA of the University of Osnabrück, to prevent "security-endangering protests". The band had been accused of misogynist and sexist texts, and the AStA's compromise proposals were rejected by autonomous departments . The band reacted with incomprehension and outrage and emphasized the satirical aspect of their texts. She also spoke of "incredible allegations" and a restriction of artistic freedom. Feuerschwanz reserved the right to take legal action for character assassination and defamation. In August 2016, Feuerschwanz released their seventh studio album, Sex is Muss . The title of the album and individual songs and text passages should definitely be seen as an answer to the above allegations. The eighth studio album Methämmer was released in 2018 . As the band's most successful album to date, it reached number 6 in the German charts. In May 2020, the band released a song with English lyrics for the first time as an advance excerpt from the ninth album The Eleventh Commandment, which was released a little later, with a cover version of I See Fire , The tenth studio album Memento Mori ( Latin: "Be aware of mortality" ) was released on December 30, 2021. The album reached first place in the German album charts immediately after its release. "
