To celebrate the band's 20th anniversary in 2024, Germany's Feuerschwanz will release the special album, Warriors, with all lyrics in English, on April 19. It features the brand new song "The Unholy Grail", a cover of the Assassin's Creed classic "Valhalla Calling" by Miracle Of Sound, as well as ten of the band's greatest hits in English.
The band around founding member and singer Hauptmann Feuerschwanz, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Hodi, as well as Johanna on the violin are welcoming top-class names as guests on Warriors, such as Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost), Francesco Cavalieri (Wind Rose), Dominum, Orden Ogan and Patty Gurdy.
Feuerschwanz state: “Feuerschwanz are conquering the world! From Miami to the Mediterranean coast of Spain, our journey has taken us to distant lands in the past months and years. There, we encountered many enthusiastic and motivated fans - unfortunately, they don't understand a word of German (of course, that never stopped them from singing along). With our latest release, Warriors, we summon warriors and shieldmaidens from all over the world to be captivated by the blazing force of our music, embarking on a journey to dive into the realm of Feuerschwanz. Join the conquest – Warriors, unite!”

Founded in 2004, Feuerschwanz have evolved over the years from their roots in comedy medieval folk rock into a band to be taken seriously and are rightly regarded as one of the hottest acts on the scene. After they hit #1 in the Official German Album Charts for the first time with Memento Mori (2021), Germany's hottest band managed to repeat that great success with their latest studio album Fegefeuer (2023). With premium slots at numerous festivals, such as co-headline slots at the legendary Wacken and Summer Breeze Open Airs, as well as abroad, including at Masters Of Rock and on the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise in the Caribbean, and an almost completely sold-out headlining tour, Feuerschwanz underlined their outstanding position all the more last year. Many dates of the upcoming big Fegefeuer headline tour in 2024 are already completely sold out.
