Tanzwut: New Single "ROSENKRIEG"

With their new single "ROSENKRIEG"("War of Roses"), the band delivers a song that combines the raw energy of medieval rock with an uncompromising portrayal of love, conflict, and emotion.

"Rosenkrieg" will be available on all major streaming platforms from June 26, 2026 and serves as the first glimpse of the upcoming album Herz aus Stein ("Heart of Stone").

Prepare for the dance to begin. In the end, it is not the wounds that endure but the passion that binds two people together, as the weapons fall silent and the fire is rekindled.

Rosenkrieg is a powerful and danceable tribute to the challenges of a relationship. The song tells the story of a passionate romance tested by turmoil and temptation. At the center of the conflict stands the devil himself, a charismatic instigator who encourages the couple to turn their disagreements into a war of roses. Drawn into his game, they find themselves on a battlefield where emotions run high and every thorn cuts deep. Yet love ultimately prevails. What begins as a fierce confrontation does not end in separation. Instead, the couple emerges stronger, discovering each other anew through the fire of conflict before finding their way back into each other’s arms.

Musically, the band is at the top of its game. Driving drum rhythms and a rich, warm bass create a solid foundation for the intricate melodies of the bagpipes. The distinctive lead vocals guide listeners through every emotional turn, shifting effortlessly between restraint and intensity. It is a performance that reflects the character and experience the band has built over more than 25 years.

The release is accompanied by a striking music video that embraces a clean and contemporary visual style. Strong contrasts and focused imagery replace elaborate ornamentation, turning the stage into an arena where reconciliation triumphs over destruction.

“HERZ AUS STEIN” will be released on September 4, 2026, on CD, colored vinyl, exclusive liquid vinyl, a limited-edition fan box, and on all streaming platforms. The exclusive fan box includes the album as a digipak, an autographed card, and more.

About TANZWUT

TANZWUT is a German medieval rock band with roots in the street-music tradition of the 1990s, in times when bagpipes sounded like a rebellion against modernity. Over the decades, the band has constantly evolved, blending the raw energy of punk and heavy rock with the haunting timbres of bagpipes, violin, and cello. What began on cobblestone marketplaces has grown into a distinctive sound that defies easy categorisation: part minstrel, part metalhead, entirely their own.

"This time, we've torn the masks of the minstrels down a bit further. Behind the noise and the spectacle, we're all in the same boat. The world often feels petrified and we wanted to use the music to make the heart beneath it palpable again."- Teufel (Vocals)
