I'll be at the premiere, I'm curious about that weird guitar! 🎸😁

ich kommentiere normalerweise nie seine Videos, weil es mir an den rhetorischen Fähigkeiten auf Englisch mangelt.... Aber ich muss jetzt mal was dazu sagen: ich verstehe jedes Wort des Textes. Bei englischen Texten ist das bei mir manchmal nicht so. Deswegen ist es schön, jemanden zu sehen, der die Musik genauso feiert, obwohl er ohne Übersetzung, vieles nicht versteht!!! Allein weil er die Musik liebt!!! Das ist so toll!

German here I can say yes there is a hell of a lot of medieval stuff going around and I pretty much love all of it :D

You aren’t kidding, man. That chorus is massive.

13:20 Great to hear Valhalla from BG in the Background. Just saw them a few weeks ago in Würzburg at the Keep it True festival.

Lyrics: Feuerschwanz - Untot Im Drachenboot (Undead in the dragon boat) Dragons made of wood and sails Warriors, wild and daring Valhalla waits for every man Only he who dies on the battlefield Holds the axe firmly in his hand But what if you can't die? Off to your death With the dragon boat Into the steel sea And we sail across the sea Join our army Into the spray With the dragon ship Into the bloody sea And the sea turns red Our sail brings death Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!) Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!) In dark harbor taverns You can hear the sailors murmuring Draugr, out there for 1000 years Our ship fast and agile Neither dead nor alive Cursed to eternal privateering expeditons On to death With the dragon boat Into the steel sea And we'll sail the sea Join our army Into the spray With the dragon ship Into the bloody sea And the sea turns red Our sail brings death Undead in the dragon boat On to death With the dragon boat Into the steel sea And we sail across the sea Join our army Into the spray With the dragon ship Into the bloody sea And the sea turns red Our sail brings death And we sail across the sea Into the spray With the dragon ship Into the bloody sea And the sea turns red Our sail brings death Undead in the dragon boat (Undead!)

Your Duolingo lessons are showing their fruits, excellent pronounciation of both the band name and the song title! Gut gemacht!

2:19. This song is so legendary it premiered on KZfaq four years before KZfaq was created!

there can never be enough Mittelalter-Metal/Rock !! Also I'm always amazed by how many styles Hodi can sing :D So much talent in one band

Beast of a tune! Great info and breakdown on this, thank you dude!

Don't think it's really an oversaturated market. Can't really say that I'm bombarded by stuff like this when I listen to german radio. Folk rock, medieval metal, and similar always felt like a style people either love or hate with not much in between. I'm one of those who absolutely love this and Feuerschwanz has become my favourite of them lately. Always catchy songs and good videos.

Yesss I'm especially excited for this one!! I've been listening to this song on repeat all day yesterday haha

I can completely relate with your german friend. I am german myself and into goth, metal, medieval music since around 1995 and been to concerts of "Subway to Sally" and so on in 2004... Attending medieval festivals every two weeks feom May to October.. so yes, we are sometimes really really saturated and the big hype is definitely over for years. But I still love it and listen to it occasionally. Great reaction btw. Have a great day!

So fun. Love the celtic sound. Need more of this band, a pirate ship. And a sandy beach to come home to. Great reaction, love your perspective as always. Thank you so much!!

Ben is such an amazing vocalist, thx tank, for your videos, it is always a good time watching em :)

I watched the video when it came out on their channel. It is a very fun song (again) from them. But the production quality of their videos also is impressive. I am really looking forward to the new album, this should be fun.

So happy to see the band is getting some attention from overseas. We have a few amazing bands from my home area. Keep enjoying them

On behalf of longer outro: it is one of my favorite parts of your videos, especially if you watched the video a second time before recording it, because it gives me a more collected and settled overview of your opinion and often times something to think about. So thanks for your work and greetings from a non-satuated Folkmetal fan from germany 🤘

I LOVE Feuerschwanz! So creative and the musicianship is extraordinary.

Dude i love you so much reacting to our german medieval, metalcore doesn´t matter what kind of german metal music. it´s just so impressive how other people from other countries react to music i am listining to and they are amazed the same then i am.

I've been listenenig to Feuerschwanz here and there for over 10 years now and also seen them a view times live. Mostly on smaller medieval festivals. But I must say they've upped their game with the last album and I am looking forward to their new one. My wife and I already have tickets for their live show on January 5th in Nuremberg 😁

It's so uplifting to watch you react to this kind of music. I think medieval / medieval metal music may be the musical genre that I have the longest history with (starting at the tender age of maybe five or six and going on for the last 26 years) and still this song managed to get me hyped up all over again. You are absolutely right, the chorus is awesome. It makes me wanna drive as fast as (safely) possible with my car (luckily I live in Germany) and roll my windows down at red traffic lights to let the drivers on the other lanes participate. 😂 So please keep reacting to this kind of music - it's always so much fun to watch!

i really love that on many of your german band reactions people from the bands keep popping up in the comments. Guess that shows how your content really strikes a chord (yes, i am so corny that i did that on purpose) with the german audience.

I haven't sat down and listened to Feuerschwanz yet but after hearing this song I am hooked. The chorus is amazing and me being able to understand German more then I can speak it, I love it.

Good way to start my birthday! And hearing a band for the first time ever with tank. LETS GOOOOOO!

Man that chorus is catchy in the best possible way. And I still can't get over Han's guitar tone. How does a guitar sound that chunky and the that clean at the same time? I love it!

I would love to see Feuerschwanz live, it'll be awesome ! I know this band since near 7 years now, my favorite song from them is "Prinzessin" ! Their new single remember me a mix between Beast In Black and Alestorm with a Skyrim vibe. Love Folk/Viking Metal 🤘🏻 keep it up Tank !

You know, I understand your German friend who says he honestly can't with this type of music anymore. For me, it was a journey as well, I used to be really into medieval metal from like 13 to 19, Schandmaul was my very first concert, but at some point I just couldn't anymore. There is a max amount of harp a human can listen to in a decade. Now, some 10-ish years later, I'm starting to come around again as an adult who can appreciate how much skill this music genre takes, and how intricate and poetic some of the lyrics are (maybe not Feuerschwanz ;P ). But if you have found your tribe in Death or Black Metal, this sounds like the Teletubbies intro song (or so they say, but give those german Death Metalheads some 5+ beers and you will find they know every word to these folk songs by heart!!)

The musical development during the last three albums is mindblowing. That 80s scream first appeared on the last album as far as I'm aware :)

Great reaction Tank, I figured you’d like that one as soon as I first heard it. It’s absolutely epic for Feuerschwanz and I think I agree that this may be my fave of the songs of theirs I’ve heard so far. Though I’m really into their cover of I See Fire right now too. So come on Tank, Orden Ogan next, I suggest you start with ‘Gunman’ or ‘F.E.V.E.R.’ and you’ve gotta check out Majestica - Metal United, it’s their homage to the likes of you, the roadies, the tech crews, the stage builders etc and even the fans. 🙂🤘🏻

Seeing your beard evolve through time is really amusing to me (it looks really great on you, I'm kinda jealous !)

I'm happy you reacted to that :)

always love your reactions you do with those bands. I'm totally into that kind of music and would love to see your reaction for: Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Tanzwut, Corvus Corax, Cultus Ferox... lovely greetings from (E)Germany

Top 5 reactors on KZfaq, love the great breakdowns and nowadays the beard jewelry. Keep em coming man, good stuff!

I love these guys great reaction lad 🤘🤘🤘

Nice Reaction! 🤘🏻 Greetings from German's Friends!

Gear breakdown: The axe Benjamin is holding is a Bardiche (pronounced bar-DISCH), which is NOT historically appropriate for the dragon boat era. :p

Your German is getting better 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🍀🍀🍀 Kerim, Germany

That scream in the beginning giving me Beast in Black vibes xD But damn that chorus ... yea, that will stuck in the head for a while...

Grüße aus Deutschland.Tolles Video.Feuerschwanz ist genial. Hab das Video nur angeklickt weil es um Feuerschwanz geht.Aber dieser Moderator ist so sympathisch ❤Will jetzt alle seine Videos sehen.Nicht nur dieses eine,mit Feuerschwanz.Von mir ein Abo und 👍

I was able to see them live some years ago. they're amazing live, as well. i really hope I can see them in concert again...😭❤️

And another good response to another good video. In case no one has brought it to your attention, there's a band called Gyze, that has one called Samurai Metal. They are showing some pretty nice looking instruments...and having fun with friends.

Kudos to you for your German pronounciation, it's really good!

Ok, about the being over the medieval stuff.... Theres a typical lineup when people talk about medieval rock and metal. Bands like Subway to Sally, Saltatio Mortis, Corvus Corax, Tanzwut, In Extremo, Schandmaul, Die Streuner and even Fiddlers Green do this stuff sometimes since the mid 90s. The scene took itself way to serious in the beginning. So in the mid 2000s a band came along called Feuerschwanz. Feuerschwanz did one thing different: While all the other bands did serious songs about medieval times, romantic or war and fighting (sometimes taking inspiration from Pagan Metal), Feuerschwanz took themself not too serious and sang about Sex, Mead and partying in general. That was new, most "true" people didnt like it, but they did stick in the end. In the 2010s they started to produce more serious songs, doing their own thing, switching from covers of medieval staple songs (Herren der Winde and Verteidiger des wahren Mets are covers). Their first 3 Albums were Prima Nocte (First night, the right of a lord in medieval times to f*** a newly wed wife before the husband did, so the theme is clear here :P ), Met und Miezen (Mead and Kitten (or the p-word)) and Metvernichter (Mead destroyer). So, from the name of the albums you get the jizz, what their songs are like. Feuerschwanz, in the beginning, were an awesome liveband, but you couldnt stand more than 2-3 songs listening to, while driving in the car. For me, that changed with Sex is Muss (sex is a must, its a wordplay on the word sexism). The texts were mostly still goofy, but the sound changed and they became more palatable, even when sober. Methämmer is by far my most fav album. So many bangers on this one! So yeah. Growing up in Germany, with its RenFairs neraly every weekend (and believe me, you dont see Elfs and Orks on most of them) the medieval scene in germany is pretty big. Reenactment is a huge hobby, and with all those castles around, you can guess, we love a bit of history here and there... But if youve been to the 100th Renfair and have listened to the 1000th bad medieval band, compyling of 2 Bagpipes and 2 davuls for hours and hours.. youre sick of this kind of music ^^

It would be quite terrifying to see such a ship on your local fishpond a few hundred years ago, to say the least. And the folklore is full of water-based demons and other not exactly friendly creatures. The song itself is really, really good. It never ceases to amaze me how well you can blend different flavours of folk music with metal. I am not going to repeat the whole thing about Nemophila again, but I have an alternative for the first song, if you want to give this band a try. They will release a new single on 13th October, which is called "Revive" with a music video. The preview sounds very promising. The song will be in English for the first time, but there will still be subtitles to make it easier to understand, I believe. They used an interesting stucture for filming - Meiji Centennial Observation Tower.

Yes. YES! We are all waiting for this reaction. Just read the comment section of the original video 😀

Napalm records introduced me to at least three bands I listen to on the regular this year. One of which I'm seeing next year.

thanks for another great reaction --- hope u and yours are well ---

That chorus is insane. I’m rewatched 5 times so far

Hi, I don't know if you have checked out the band dArtagnan already. It is the second band of the singer Ben Metzner and sounds like Musketier rock. They are really good as well. I would recommend "Feuer & Flamme" (Eng: fire and flame). He started the band because he wrote too many songs that did not fit for Feuerschwanz :D Also the song "Farewell" with Patty Gurdy is good, but definitly on the softer side. Both bands are live fantastic! Interesting to note is also that both bands play rock, medieval and metal festivals as well as in the most conservative german tv show with audience 60+ years. They just fit in everywhere :D Just discovered your chanel and I like your reaction style very much!

Just another great reaction from you ❤been a Feuerschwanz for many years now, saw the live three Times and it's always a massive Party 🤘❤ Would love to see your reaction to one of my favorite Bands at the Moment: Soulbound - Devil (german "industrial" Metal) 😊 Have a great Start in this week 🤘❤

This is really a crazy good band, great energy, great music, great production. I wanted to comment on your chat with your German friend, I can understand him, since Europe has so many similar bands, either viking, pirate or some medieval knight themed, just oversaturated. BUT! I personally think Feuerschwanz are one of the best in their field, sort of like Sabaton with the world war themes and Alestorm with pirate metal. And I think all these German songs sound so good because German language is more rash and heavy sounding. It just fits into metal music so well. Oh and a recommendation I have for you, check out Warkings, they also did a Melissa Bonny feature on their song Sparta, and yeah it's gladiator themed metal :) And lastly, great job on your German pronounciation, it's really good for a beginner!

Fantastic!

The Music behind his Words, from 01:20 to min 01:40 is from "Amon Amarth - The Way of Vikings"

I just want to point out that if you buy / pre-order make sure to get a package with at least 2 CDs, because the second one is a bonus disc with another 7 covers like with the "Das Elfte Gebot" album, and those will definitely rock as well!

I have seen them live several times during the last few years and man, they have really developed their style. :D

I'm telling ya Tank...only a matter of time before Napalm & Nuclear Blast both hire you as their US PR Guy. This song & music video were good already but your genuine enthusiasm puts it over as must see / must buy.

Such an epic song!

Viking zombie apocalypse... 😅 Hilarious as usual. 😂 And yeah ... we have had this kind of music for decades now. But if it's done well and with this special humor Feuerschwanz has, it won't get boring.

My favorite song of the band. I love the chorus!

Awesome!

Just recently discoverd them myself, nice to see a reaction, i like it since theirstyle got heavier in my opinion. I guess it´s even more epic if you speak german like I do, so im glad the german scene is on fire right now with many collabs, like a germanmedievalmusicgangbangsomething :D Did ya know that "Schwanz" in German also refers to Dick? So me and my friends call it Firedick or Firecock ^_^

Good song, nice reaction video.

Great reaction Tank! Made an otherwise shitty day a lot better 😬

Ha, Nikolay Georgiev sounds like a Bulgarian name. Didn't expect to see anything about a Bulgarian on this channel :D

Haha, I feel your friend. I was into medieval Live Action Role Play from 1997 until my kids were born in 2010 and 2012. So I listen to a looooot of medieval metal/rock bands at this time (Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Corvus Corax, Schandmaul and so on) and I'm really over it. But Feuerschwanz are just so much fun (esp. live and the videos are hilarious) and my kids love them, so they've won a place at the family-playlist 😁

That was an epic for the ages

Again great reactions video from you! To feuerschwanz-topic= Love their way from funny medieval lyric band to folk power metal stuff. Huge evolution from them. Many people in germany think, the band is already stay in their old silly (but for me and many others funny) stuff... but the last two records, and that upcoming one, is great power metal stuff. Oh, at that thing... tank, how about the new stuff from "rage" ? Have a look or ear into it. Good power metal stuff with trash parts. Greetings from germany... stay metal \m/

Could you guys imagine hanging out with this man and crying because of good music 😄

I can only wholeheartedly recomment you to witness one of the most outstanding songs "das Hildebrandslied" performed from the German pagan-metal band: "Menhir" This song was purely sung in old-high German and their performance of it has rithfully owned his staus of being absolutely legendary !! So a reaction to their video would actually be extremly awesome..!!

I discovered them about a week before "Das Elfte Gebot" was released. I bought the vinyl edition, have few t-shirts, hoodie and a huge Feuerschwanz flag in my living room hanging up (use to have an old gas heater in that spot). I pre-ordered their new album in the CD Box set and vinyl edition, costing me around $200 AUD. Man, I hope the rest fo the album is as good as this song, lol. Hans made a post on his Instagram account about the unique guitar he plays in the video too :)

"Our sail brings the death..." Lets go, guter sound

in germany we still love stuff like this!!! 🤘🤪🍻🦬🐺🦅⚔⚡

Hey Tank, you really should come to Germany and visit some of the music medieval festivals here. Like the MPS (Mittelalterlich Phantasie Spektakulum - medieval fantasy extravaganza). There are playing bands like Saltatio Mortis and other bands. This year it had been Saltatio Mortis, Feuerschwanz and Subway to Sally. This festival is also once a year in Berlin. And the rest of the year all around in Germany.

The confusion yet laugh on his face when he noticed that his beard beads were gone was a moment to enjoy XD

tank. Archspire, Drone Corpse Aviator, pls. Good look at their gear, great Music video to talk about production and fx, and a killer track. i implore you to add it to the queue! (I refuse to quit)

Finally. Was always wondering why noone mixes Vikings and Zombies :D

Nikolaj Georgiew, who did this video, also did the videos for their songs "Ding", "Das elfte Gebot" and "Meister der Minne" (both also great songs with great videos, hint hint ;-)

They also got a great cover of Sabatons Gott mit uns 👍

Im from germany and Im NOT over this kind of music 😅

The chorus of this actually reminds me a lot of the band "Santiano", which is more of a pure folk band but also has these kind of epic "sailor" choruses. If you want to check them out you could have a look at their song "Santiano" or "Frei wie der Wind".

Bloody good reaction as always old chap. Just btw - will we be meeting you next year at the W:O:A?

The drumming on the upcoming album was not done by Rol(lo/f) btw, they recorded the tracks before he joined the band. So (according to the band's social media livestream before this song's premiere) their producer Simon Michael, who is also the drummer of Subway to Sally (and other bands apparently), took over the drums for the album.

Sick feature from the Dragonborn

The problem with this kind of music is that ever since In Extremo made it super popular in the late 2000s, we got A LOT of bands trying to jump on the hypetrain, so eventually it became really generic and everyone just got kinda tired of it. Now there's 2 things I wanna note: I personally think Feuerschwanz is making much better music than In Extremo, at least lately, and the first band to do this kinda of Folk Metal style was actually not In Extremo, but Subway to Sally. They have been formed in 1992, and their last 2 albums have just been kicking ass in my opinion. If you ever want to listen to StS, I highly recommend one of their latest singles called "Island" for the newer stuff, or "Veitstanz" for their older stuff, which actually does have an amazing new live video featuring some other bands that you migh recognize :)

Had a bit of Santiano. But also when Feuerschwanz isn't my favorite this song is awesome.

The chorus sounds a lot like the stuff from Santiano. All in all a nice song to sing along live.

That was great reaction. This song is super catchy. BTW I not ask is that gear was unplug-in. 😉

As you are deep in the Celtic/norse/Viking genre, one of, if not the best, songs is made by Tyr. A band from Faroe Islands, inhabited by 50.000 people. They had a colab with the Symphony Orchestra (crazy that they have one) and I’m linking the whole concert from their offficial page. The song I recommend starts at 1:08:40, and is called Ormurin Langi kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNGBa7yZsc3WoZs.html

Hey Tank I would like to introduce you to the german band "Coppelius" with their song "Risiko" They use clarinettes instead of bagpipes and instead of gitarre and bass they use a cello and contra bass I think you would enjoy their different and unique style :)

Was that guitar some reference to Jormungandr or something 🤔 Edit: sorry only 5 min in ... got excited 🤣🤣

Great song, great reaction. You should try "Friede sei mit dir" (= peace may be with you) from the german band "Die Apokalyptischen Reiter". Great and powerful song. Give it a try 😉

Many of the german medieval rock bands are produced by the same few producers, so the sounds of the studio recordings are similar. Feuerschwanz for example are produced by Simon Michael, who is also the drummer from Subway to Sally. (and you really should react to the Subway to Sally - Veitstanz (2014 Version) live from earlier this year. It features Members of Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul, Patty Gurdy and MajorVoice. Probably also fun to watch you give up on most of the gear :D

You really gotta do Subway to Sally next. Its the last of the Big 3 German Medieval Metal bands you are missing

uhhmmm yes. way of vikings at the beginning in the background👍👍👍

Well they have to go some to beat "Das Elfte Gebot" - but this is a pretty good start!

That's a bunch of Polish names for a German band. Side note: DYK that the classic sailor tune Spanish Ladies was written by a Pole? Look it up. It's wild.

@Tank : The singer in the beginning is d'Artagnan, a Folk music singer who appears as a guest in this video. Hope you get to see such a band like Feuerschwanz live! Parasite Inc "Once and For All", Vreid "Wild North West". Let's gooooo!

Holy shit! You gotta check out the dali thundering concept with their track The myth of happiness! It has an amazing music video and the lyrics are Just 😫🤌 And the instrumentals are just the most groovy heavy perfection combo

You singing in German? I want that video ASAP :P!
