yuo should as check out the Band Corvus Corax: I can recomend a performance at WACKEN they did with Wadokyo as a starting point Corvus Corax Meet Wadokyo - Full Show - Live at Wacken Open Air 2013 particular the third song of the set
This song was the first song that was brought into a computer game in the year 2001 They programmed a stage on a medieval marketplace in the game Gothic and there the band made a gig.
@thomasstroh-uu2mj the song Herr Mannelig is much older. Its an original old swedish folkssong written during 1877 in Södermansland. Sence that several bands used the Song. And yes In Extremo used the song during a Gig in the game Gothic.
You have to watch “Heilung”!!! The instruments in this band are partly made of bones😁! Heilung - "Anoana" - Live LIFA Llyn Dain - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9PFz9FQsU8w.html Greetings from Germany.
thanks for your reaction to In Extremo! I saw them three times live here in Germany, everytime very good. Fun fact: They build their intruments by themselves! Next for you: Liam, Frei zu sein, Loreley, Erdbeermund or nur ihr allein and ..... Other German medival bands, you have to listen: Subway to Sally, Feuerschwanz, Saltatio Mortis, Schandmaul, Tanzwut, Corvus Corax or Krayenzeit...
The German medieval-style Rock and Metal bands are actually an (indirect) offspring of early to mid-1970s folk rock, which in turn had developed from a 1960s folk ballads genre. It's quite an interesting field of musical history you've come across there.
An initial is a large decorative letter at the beginning of a text, that was used as a decorative ornament in historical texts. So I guess, the big I in the band name is kind of a reference to that.
In Extremo are great! II'll see them live this winter and I'm already looking forward to it! Fun fact: They have a cameo in the German videogame "Gothic". They perform "Herr Mannelig" on stage in-game. :D My absolute favorite song from them, however, is "Liam" (the Gaelic version, especially) but I also like "Pikse Palve" very, very much!
In Extremo and Subway to Sally are the greatest bands of this genre medivial rock and there are a lot of other bands like Saltatio Mortis. The band Corvus Corax are only playing with histrorical instruments without the hard rock parts. If they do so, they are performing under the name Tanzwut
In Extremo are an amazing band. I saw them live at Wacken Open Air 2022 in Germany 🤘 They belong to a range of some very good German medieval folk/rock/metal bands. Unfortunately these bands from Germany and Europe are not that recognized worldwide, yet. But if you want to dive deeper into this genre or rabbithole of music, In Extremo is like the first entry ticket to another world of music.
Hi there - "In Extremo" is a a very-very-nice band who play cool the old instruments and take us back the times. But take a look at the best ever band that made this old music popular - it was ----> "Corvus Corax" the most popular and of course the best and much famous live bands ever that made the middle age music popular ! I love this group and heard them much times live here in germany. Thanks for sharing and best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
Great choice, I love the band! If you like the combination of old style instruments and metal, you should also listen to their song "Spielmannsfluch", another story from medieval times, but this time told in German.
The Martin's trumpet, named after its German inventor Max B. Martin, was developed at the beginning of the 20th century as a signaling instrument and is also called a shawm as an independent musical instrument. Max B. Martin also invented the German siren for the fire brigade and police, which is used in six other countries besides Germany. In 2019, the city of New York considered introducing the German siren (Martin's horn) for its emergency vehicles, as people in New York are fed up with the American multi-tone siren.
Hey , Great Reaction its nice to see some Reactions to InExtremo so Thank you.😊 If you liked it i recomend InExtremo-Vollmond but if you want to listen to it you should do a Live Version of it .👍
I saw In Extremo live many years ago when they still played at small festivals (and I was young). They're great! Had seen "medieval" bands before and found them boring, but I love metal, so that's the right stuff for me. The song here actually is Swedish, Germany doesn't have trolls, but there are troll-like figures and many mysterious and scary creatures in many local traditional stories. German folklore and fairy tales is much more than just the Brothers Grimm.
If you want to hear Old High German, the band has performed the two Merseburg charms. Of course there is no guarantee that the reconstruction of linguists or the way performers sing it is correct.
@@Sayu277 Yes, there are extant texts, but pronunciation isn't always clear. Old High German (generic term for early medieval language varieties, with High German Consonant Shift, AD ca. 750 - 1050, handed down in writing) differs considerably from modern Standard German inclusive pronunciation. I don't know if the performers did it right.
@@waltergro9102 I know what old high german is I did minor in German linguistics. I may have misunderstood OP to say that the old high german in Merseburger Zaubersprüche ll was just a reconstructed language (like proto germanic etc). So I was like no those lyrics are from actual old Texts..
@@Sayu277 I suspected that. As a layman I used carelessly "reconstruction". I just meant the pronunciation. I like the Carmina Burana from Carl Orff which includes Middle High German text. I once found an online audio from an expert on Middle High German about how to pronounce the respective texts in Carmina Burana correctly. Not surprisingly none of the choirs got it right. Inclusive German choirs. Supposed the expert was right.
In fact In Extremo are the originators of medieval rock/metal. Once they were 2 bands (one medieval and the other one metal) that joined to create that unique sound for good. So glad you like their sound. If you want to go down that rabbit hole, give "Liam (live!)" a chance! Stay save Lady and Gent, from Germany ✌️
The Martin's trumpet, named after its German inventor Max B. Martin, was developed at the beginning of the 20th century as a signaling instrument and is also called a shawm as an independent musical instrument.
This is a swedish folk song and they sing in swedish. Ive never heard this version before and this was awsome. 🔥🔥🔥 Troll in scandinavia is often described as a magical creature often looking just like a human. Therefore we call magicians Trollkarl (troll man)the female variant would be trollkvinna (troll woman).
finally real music^^ i am a fan of in Extremo since my childhood 🙂 also to the top german medival rock band u can count: Saltatio Mortis ; Subway to Sally ; Schandmaul ; Corvus Corax & if u like Faun u might like ; Heilung ; Cuirina. also reaction to the WGT would be fun
If you liked the combination of old and newer instruments, take a look at "Haggard" (perhaps "awaking the centuries"). The band consists of 20 people, with violins, Cellos, etc, there is a whole classical orchestra part of the band....^^
If you want to listen to another story song, maybe take a look in "Villeman Og Magnhild" (also by In Extremo) or you want to take a look in Equilibrium, they are a pagan-metal band! And a completly wild suggestion, maybe you want to listen to Knorkator! xD there is also a cover by them from "Ma Baker" xD
Oh, if you like this, you would LOVE the sound from german medivial rock band "Feuerschwanz"!! Try "momento morí" or "knochenkarussell" or "metfest", you won´t regret :)
In Germany you call this Instrument "Schalmai"....The Song itself is a Cover Song of an old Nordic Traditional.A lot of Mediveal Bands have covered it.Check out the GARMANIA Version.....by the way,RAMMSTEIN,SUBWAY TO SALLY,KNORKATOR and IN EXTREMO come from the same Area in Berlin.TILL LINDEMANN and DAS LETZTE EINHORN both learned PYROTECHNICS/FIRE SWALLOWING together.....
I think this is Sweden's most famous medieval ballad. I have heard a lot of them, being a Swede, but this is the only one that I know has such reach. This band is German but they still sing it in Swedish, technically old Swedish.
Germany has a many bands in the medieval area: Corvus Corax (a bit more in the bard or bandsmann style) Subway to Sally (combing Folk, Rock and Medieval) Qntal (combining Electro with Medieval) Estampie (same female singer as Qntal but without Electro) Saltatio Mortis (a bit like Subway to Sally: Folk, Rock and Medieval) Schandmaul (Folk and Medieval) etc.
Like some other people already have suggested, try something from the group "Heilung" . Heilung is a Nordic ritual folk band with members from Denmark, Germany and Norway. For example: Heilung | LIFA - Krigsgaldr LIVE
Fun-fact: Maybe you've already heard of the german Wacken Open Air festival, if not, Wacken is one of the largest, most important and most iconic heavy metal festivals in the world. If you say the term "Wacken" to a real metal head, he will immediately know what you mean. The band "In Extremo" has played at Wacken 10 times so far, making them one of the bands with the most frequent appearances, along with "Saxon" and the "Wacken Firefighters". The only ones that appeared more often were: "Subway to Sally" (12), "Skyline" (14), "Victims of Madness" (14) and "Mambo Kurt" (16). If you don't know what Wacken is, here's a little information video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J5hxxEkxwaY.html
The I is just artistically distorted, it's not a J. The shawm is related to the saxophone. While the sxophone is played with one reed, the shawm has two. Because the song is Swedish he also sings it in Swedish. Typically they sing in German. For a while they even made it to mainstream radio: In Extremo - Full Moon Live @ Wacken Open Air 2012 - HD The currently biggest bands: Saltatio Mortis - Finsterwacht feat. Blind Guardian (Official Video) The song has subtitles that you need for the narrator. FEUERSCHWANZ - Warriors Of The World United (feat Thomas Winkler, Saltatio Mortis & Melissa Bonny) dArtagnan - Meine Liebste, Jolie (LIVE / Offizielles Video) ft. Patty Gurdy
If you think that Faeries and Trolls are mythology ask the ppl from Iceland. For them they´re very real. Not to offend s-one, you know what I mean. 😉 But again a nice reaction so far. This flute reminds me of the Kazoo. You can make similar sounds with it. But I didn´t like this songs where they used to sing in a fantasy language. I would like to recommend a little older Songs from bands which you reviewed In Extremo - Liam (german version) or Faun - 2 Falken/Two Falcons (it´s on the same Album Totem from 2007 like Tinta which you reviewed) or Saltatio Mortis - Spielmannsschwur (This would I prefer from Wacken Open Air 2017 or Castlevania 2016
