OSN had a chat with Hans the other day, and Hans said that this was anniversary gift to the international fans, and that the next album would be in german again (and that they were already passing ideas around). By the way between Feuerschwanz and d'Artagnan, Ben will have released 12 albums since 2016 when the next d'Artagnan album is released later this year.

The one part of this that I think needs mentioning is that Feuerschwanz is one of the few bands who have covered this song that have actually given credit to Miracle of Sound!!! so many of the covers have either assumed that its an actual old norse folk song and that its public domain or just plan not given credit. Gav(miracle of sound) actually thanked them for doing that on the offical video because he has had so many problems.

I'm English, and love Feuerschwanz, especially because they do so much in German - but you are correct, we in the UK, and I dare say English-speakers in the USA (present company excepted), are terrible at accepting songs written in other languages. I hope this album gets the guys and gals more of the recognition they deserve outside of Germany. On a side note, I'm still singing along to Valhalla after the Blind Guardian gig last Saturday :)

They just need to have English subtitles on their videos to catch the US audience, seeing how many are now willing to watch dubbed anime and korean dramas.

For me, as a marginally decent speaker of US of NA English, I just look up the lyric translation, or do it myself. If the music pricks my interest, and the lyrics resonate with something in me (and aren't super weird or crazy), the spoken language doesn't matter.

I absolutely love them singing in German (and Svbway to Sally), but I do sadly agree that they just won't "hit" it internationally, especially in the US, without being in English. (And I get tired of people hearing me play them and going "Is that Ramstein?" 🤣)

I had the pleasure to see them live just last Friday. Let me tell you it was something else when the whole venue sung the chorus. I still prefer the original MoS Folk version but this here is pretty close. Gav created a Timeless masterpiece with that song that sadly not a lot of cover version give him credit for. Also I'm not sure if it was due to the recent international popularity or because it was in Berlin, Germany but I did see a couple of non Germans during the concert. And I'm not speaking of the usual Turkish people you see a lot in Germany. It even went so far that Hodi/Ben made some announcements in English Speaking of Miracle of Sound. Have you listen to the song he did with The Charismatic Voice?

Feuerschwanz attended 70,000 Tons of Metal this year. Sad I missed the boat. But they have at least been on that side of the Atlantic. 🙂 But they don't really tour outside of Germany. For me to see them I would need to travel from Sweden to Germany. Sadly I discovered them the year after they played Wacken, so I was at Wacken when they played but never heard of them so I missed them. 😅

I didn't think we needed another cover of this song. But after listening to it: Oh yes, we needed THIS cover of the song for sure. And yes, I pre ordered the album already. Looking forward for it. I would like some songs with a bit more humor from them (like in the past) and maybe a bit more fiddle in some, but overall, the band has improved over the last 20 years (and especially in the last few years I think) alot. I would say they are my favorite band right now together with Electric Callboy.

However, going back to the "do we need another cover of this?" bit - I think that probably there are more covers of Iron Maiden's The Trooper (though to be fair some of them are really good, particularly Esprit D'Air's, featuring Ben Christo and Tim Owens, and Nemophila's), unless of course you are referring specifically to medieval metal. [Edit: Just watched their cover of Abba's Gimme, Gimme, Gimme - this band are fantastic]

I have some suggestions to react to to commerate this special occasion for wintersun. The first suggestion is wintersun steel of the gods legendary demos official video. Which jari released as a sample of what to expect for the wintersun legendary demos sound. The next is wintersun jari's favorite legendary demos riffs official video which just features just jari and up to four different guitars in the same video which he switches out to every song ! So watch these as soon as possible tank before jari takes another 20 years before he produces another album like the last one lol 🤣. Thank you keep on rocking .wintersun Alex🤘❄️
