Medieval rock veterans Tanzwut return with a grand concept: The new single 'Herz aus Stein' (Heart of Stone), released April 17, heralds the album of the same name dropping September 4, 2026 via NoCut/SPV. 13 tracks inspired by Wilhelm Hauff's dark fairy tale 'Das kalte Herz' (The Cold Heart) — a narrative about greed and emotional numbness, perfectly translated into Tanzwut's unique sonic world of bagpipes, shawms, electric guitars, and pounding beats. For over two decades, the band has merged historical instruments with modern metal, remaining uncompromisingly true to their vision.
For NRW fans, autumn gets particularly exciting: The tour with support act Sagenbringer brings the band to Cologne on October 17 and to Kulttempel Oberhausen on November 13. Collectors take note — a fan box limited to 666 copies is available, a symbolically charged edition that fits Tanzwut perfectly. If you love the fusion of medieval mysticism and modern metal, this delivers the full package.
