CORVUS CORAX - THE KINGS OF THE GAMES

Driving rhythms, traditional melodies and the sound of old times: With fascinatingly large drums and homemade bagpipes Corvus Corax revive the moods of ancient times. With their work, the Berlin musicians have shaped our present understanding of medieval music. Their influence on the music scene ranges from Moscow to Mexico City, they toured in Japan and China, the US and Canada as well as throughout Europe.
After 25 years full of medieval music, they can look back on countless albums and various projects. With their mystical and legendary albums like "Mille Anni Passi Sunt" they brought old gods and legends to life, with albums such as "Gimlie" and "Sverker" they worked on Celtic and Nordic traditions and brought the culture of the Vikings into the modern day. Anyone who has seen the masks and costumes of the younger shows must concede that they have successfully rediscovered the Vikings.

Corvus Corax does not "just" do medieval music: they combine historical music with modern fantasy elements, they experiment with different cultural sounds and crazy instruments. It does not matter if they play in a club, in a concert church, at the Kaltenberger Knights' Tournament or in front of thousands of metal heads at the Wacken Open Air: Corvus Corax know how to make people dance and jump around crazy - as it is known from the Veitstanz from the Middle Ages.
