FEUERSCHWANZ have revealed a lyric video to the title track from their recent #1 charting album, Fegefeuer! Following Memento Mori (2021), Germany’s hottest band hit #1 on the Official German Album Charts for the second time in a row with their new studio album released last month, and that still remains on the charts.
 
Reigning in the German metal scene, FEUERSCHWANZ have had a busy year so far on live stages too, playing a nearly sold-out tour followed by premium and headline slots at main European summer festivals. Watch the new lyric video below, and don’t miss out on FEUERSCHWANZ‘s remaining festival shows and “Fegefeuer 2024“ tour with Orden Ogan and Angus McSix!

Formed in 2004, FEUERSCWANZ 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 kicks off with outstanding opening track “SGFRD Dragonslayer”. Successor “Bastard von Asgard” features beautiful vocals by Eluveitie’s Fabienne Erni. The catchy viking party anthem “Berzerkermode” calls for the listener to join the celebration and “party like a viking”, while the first three tracks, as well as heavy “Highlander”, are best proof of the band’s evolution from comedy rock to metal. Other tracks like the intense title track “Fegefeuer”, Lord of the Rings battlechant “Uruk-Hai” and “Die Horde” will be long-time fan favorites.

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!

The song is off the band’s debut self-titled album, which came out on the 12th of August 2022, and was written by Viv prior to A-Z forming so it had a different feel and sound. Mark Zonder and co. really liked it so they reworked the song to give it the A-Z sound and feel.

Mark Zonder comments: “We had planned to do a video for every song on the record and this is number 10 out of 11.

Yes, there will be the all important video 11 as well!“

Anto commentary about this record: “Stray Dogs” is a title that came to me after a visit to my hometown. I’ve had it for quite some time. For some reason, I kept thinking about the stray dogs on the streets of my hometown. That might’ve been around the same time when I heard the news that the local hunting club decided to solve the issue of stray dogs on our streets. Yeah. What do you think how did they solve that? I’ll give you a hint: we don’t have a dog shelter, or anything like that, in our area. It just bugged me so much. Poor dogs didn’t choose to live, or die, that way. Well, that’s good, ‘cos guess what – Stray Dogs were born out of that. So yeah, right there on the couch I picked up my acoustic and noodled around and the main riff for Stray Dogs came out “.

Rik Emmett is best known as the guitarist/vocalist for the legendary Canadian hard rock band Triumph. Between its 16 albums and DVDs, it has received 18 gold and 9 platinum awards in Canada and the United States. They were nominated for multiple Juno Awards, including the Group of the Year Award in 1979, 1985, 1986, and 1987.

Emmett is now releasing worldwide Then Again… through Deko Entertainment (ADA/Warner Music Group) as part of a new deal with Music in Motion Ent. As he states about the release, “There seems little point in simply trying to repeat history, so we came at it from a different place: the place where Dave Dunlop and I dealt with these songs, on smaller nightclub & intimate listening room stages. Honoring the endurance of these songs, but giving them a fresh, stripped-down and 21st century D.I.Y. perspective.” Enjoy reimagined versions of classics like, “Lay It on the Line,” “Magic Power,” and “Fight the Good Fight.”

Listen to “Magic Power” here: ADA.lnk.to/MagicPower

The classic Triumph album Allied Forces sold over a million copies in the US, while attaining the highest chart positions any Triumph album would attain: #23 in the US and #13 in Canada. It included the songs “Fight the Good Fight” and “Magic Power.” “Magic Power” reached #8 on the Billboard Mainstream Top Rock Tracks chart and #51 on the Hot 100, while “Fight the Good Fight” went to #18 on the Top Rock Tracks chart. This bodes well for the success of Emmett’s Then Again….

 BraveWords.com recently announced the launch of BraveWords Records and now BraveWords Records is excited to announce their debut signing of Paul Di’Anno‘s WARHORSE. Paul Di’Anno’s Warhorse will release their first title for BraveWords Records in 2024.

The core of the band and founders are Paul Di’Anno, vocals, Hrvoje Madiraca, guitar and Ante Pupačić Pupi, guitar.

BraveWords Records founder Metal Tim Henderson, “How excited were you to hear that Paul Di’Anno was back with a new band called Warhorse?! I was so happy to see him back in action again and getting his life back to normal. The beast roared back and BraveWords Records is honored to have him and his new band as the inaugural signing to the label. There are so many great things brewing behind the scenes, so stay tuned!”

Paul Andrews, a British singer better known by his stage name Paul Di’Anno, his nearly half-century-long career began explosively with Iron Maiden, when with the EP ‘The Soundhouse Tapes’, and the albums ‘Iron Maiden’ and ‘Killers ‘ forever cemented the foundations of heavy metal. With timeless hits like ‘Iron Maiden’, ‘Remember Tomorrow’, ‘Running Free’, ‘Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Killers’, ‘Wratchild’, Murders in the Rue Morgue’, ‘Purgatory’ etc., they influenced numerous musicians and bands and were responsible for the creation or development of many subgenres in metal music.

Paul is known as one of the most productive singers, who has a huge number of albums and other releases behind him, either as a solo artist or a member of bands such as Gogmagog, Di’Anno’s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Rockfellas or Warhorse. In all his incarnations, Paul always knew how to find a way to the fans, with numerous hits, uncompromising singing, which is confirmed by his successful career and furious live shows around the world.

For the last eight years, Paul faced serious health problems that almost ended his career, but thanks to his loyal fans and his strong will to overcome the disease, Paul is on a big world tour again, and he recorded a new album with his new band Warhorse. This icon of heavy metal with the heart of a punk rock rebel never spared himself in his life, but he always gave everything for music and fans, which is why they have followed him faithfully for almost fifty years.

BraveWords Records have agreed to physical distribution deals with Plastic Head in Europe and MVD in North America.
