About

Tanzwut (German pronunciation: [ˈtantsvuːt]) is a German Medieval metal and Neue Deutsche Härte band that originated as a side project of Corvus Corax members. The band uses a Medieval theme during their live performances which are expressed through their stagecraft, costumes and choreography.

Their name is the German term for "dancing mania", but is directly translated with "dance rage". Tanzwut are known for their heavy use of bagpipes, an unusual instrument for a metal band. The group has achieved international success, filling concert halls as far away from their home country as Mexico.

Since Ihr wolltet Spass, the band gravitated towards a more industrial metal approach, incorporating the use of more down-tuned guitars, harsher vocals and darker atmospheres. On Weiße Nächte ("White Nights") though, Tanzwut completely removed its industrial sound for a more refined classical approach centered around bagpipes with a heavy metal sound. However, some of the industrial influence returned with Höllenfahrt ("Hell Ride") and the band have written material in a more traditional style similar to that of Corvus Corax (Morus et Diabolus and Eselsmesse).

Tanzwut est un groupe de Neue Deutsche Härte allemand, originaire de Berlin. Formé en 1996, il est l'alter ego du groupe de musique de type médiéval Corvus Corax, avec une orientation plus électronique. Le groupe connaît une percée mondiale : à Mexico, par exemple, d'immenses salles de concert sont souvent combles. Leur premier album est produit par Jon Caffery (de), également producteur des Toten Hosen.

Tanzwut maîtrise particulièrement la recette des performances live : des scènes et des costumes somptueux ainsi que des chorégraphies qui plongent le spectateur dans le monde médiéval. Le signe de reconnaissance du groupe est un diable (Teufel) : bien que chauve, il possède deux petites cornes rouges sur les flancs de son crâne.
