Tanzwut's third studio album, and their best yet. I learned about the group from a fairly common way, by being steered there through bands like In Extremo and Subway to Sally. Tanzwut creates a unique sound, mixing the Neo-Medieval, or Volke-Metal, or whatever they call the fusion of Hard Rock with Medieval Folk music with influences from electronic and indstrial. Tanzwut's strongest element is their highly effective choruses, and this album is a good example. But they also expand beyond the scope covered by their first two efforts, particularly with Fatue and Campona. Fatue is hard guitars mixed with great choral chanting reminicent of gregorian chants. The album starts off with Wieder da, a great song and good start that gradually builds to personal favorites like Track 4: Meer and Track 5 Zaubern. Overall a great album that shows Tanzwut at their best.

Auf Tanzwut bin ich über mein Faible für Mittelalterrock gekommen: die Gruppe Corvus Corax mag eine der angesagtesten Mittelalterbands sein, ihr Alter Ego ist aber für die Rockfans zuständig.

Tanzwut ist eine gute Mischung aus Mittelalter, Metal, Elektro und Dancefloor. Die mittelalterlichen Wurzeln erkennt man deutlich an den Stücken „Fatue" und „Caupona", aber ansonsten sind Tanzwut in erster Linie eine Rockband mit Dudelsack, deren Stücke mit treibenden Beats (mal auch im Ska- oder Discorhythmus) eher zum Abtanzen als zum Headbangen geeignet sind. Sie sind musikalisch das Bindeglied zwischen Rammstein und In Extremo. Von textliche Schwächen wie in "Nein Nein" sollte man da absehen, andere Stücke wie "Meer" machen das wieder wett.

Vom Inhalt her sind die Lieder wohl am Ehesten im Gothic/Wave-Bereich angesiedelt, aber dank der schelmischen Stimme von Frontmann Teufel kommen die Stücke so frisch und frech rüber, dass auch andere Rockfans ihren Gefallen daran finden können.

Die Lieder enthalten außerdem ein großes Live-Potential (z.B. in „Wieder da" und „Ihr wolltet Spaß"), sodass diese CD eine gute Einstimmung auf das nächste Tanzwut-Konzert ist.

I've heard this CD oin holiday in germany.I was so lucky that my Mum bought me this CD.I'm listening to it all the time.It's a great album.Go on Tanzwut!!

I heard about Tanzwut from a friend who showed me their website and played the audio samples there for me. I almost immediately tracked down this CD on ebay. I just got it in the mail a couple days ago, and it's hardly left my CD player since. As a matter of fact, I'm listening to it as I'm writing this. The fusion of metal/industrial with medieval music creates a pretty unusual sound, but it works. I've been playing it for friends and telling everyone I know who I think would like them about this band. More people need to know about this. Now I want to get a hold of their other CDs too. This might prove to be a challenge. Favorite tracks: "Meer", "Für Immer", "Fatue", "Erdberrot", "Der Fluch".

This band is definately different in that they use bagpipes but not in the scottish way such as amazing grace. No, they use it with faster tempo say about 110 bpm. Its not just random notes. I would recommend this band for anyone that likes Rammstein too as far as the tempo and feel of the music. I think Corvus Corax does not match with this type of music although it too contains bagpipes but its more of that growly grung music if I remember correctly.
