FEUERSCHWANZ Releases Single “SGFRD Dragonslayer” & Official Music Video

Watch HERE!

New Album, ‘Fegefeuer’, Out July 21, 2023

via Napalm Records — Pre-Order NOW!

On “SGFRD Dragonslayer”, lyrical references to the legendary Siegfried Dragonslayer combine with heavy riffing and Nordic mythology. The blazing official music video flawlessly supports the storyline of the track and is executed in true FEUERSCHWANZ style.

FEUERSCHWANZ on the new single:

“The Siegfried saga is an ancient Nordic myth that has moved and inspired people through the centuries. Man against monster, David against Goliath, a theme where fantasy and reality meet again and again. We let the dragon loose on you – Wagner was yesterday, Metal is today!”

Watch the Official Music Video for “SGFRD Dragonslayer” NOW

Formed in 2004, the band has gradually shifted from their roots in comedic medieval folk into a much more serious direction. With the switch to Napalm Records ahead of the release of ‘Das Elfte Gebot’ (2020), FEUERSCHWANZ set their sights entirely on metal – soon becoming one of the most relevant German bands in the genre today. The band’s enormously successful previous album of original music, ‘Memento Mori’ (2021), even stormed the official German charts, peaking at #1. On ‘Fegefeuer’, FEUERSCHWANZ spice up their medieval inspired folk metal with true heavy metal influences!

‘Fegefeuer’ stays lyrically true to trademark topics, exploring long forgotten legends and heroic battles, and shows off the band’s extraordinary musical skills. The album will be available in various formats, with some containing the live bonus album ‘Live in Wacken 2022’, which includes a recording of their co-headline show from the holy fields. With their new release, FEUERSCHWANZ clearly confirm their outstanding position!
