Feuerschwanz Releases Flaming Hot Single “SGFRD Dragonslayer“ & Official Music Video!

FEUERSCHWANZ have released the flaming hot single “SGFRD Dragonslayer” off of their upcoming album, Fegefeuer! While gearing up to unleash their new record on July 21, 2023, FEUERSCHWANZ have played an almost sold-out tour this spring, secured several premium slots at massive summer festivals (including co-headlining at Rock Harz today!), and continue to gain millions upon millions of streams and video views. There is no doubt that this band is at the top of the German metal scene.

On “SGFRD Dragonslayer”, lyrical references to the legendary Siegfried Dragonslayer combine with heavy riffing and Nordic mythology. The blazing official music video flawlessly supports the storyline of the track and is executed in true FEUERSCHWANZ style.

FEUERSCHWANZ on the new single:

“The Siegfried saga is an ancient Nordic myth that has moved and inspired people through the centuries. Man against monster, David against Goliath, a theme where fantasy and reality meet again and again. We let the dragon loose on you - Wagner was yesterday, Metal is today!“

After charting at #1 on the Official German Album Charts with their latest studio album, Memento Mori, FEUERSCHWANZ will release its successor, Fegefeuer, on July 21.

Formed in 2004, the band 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!
