#1 charting German force, Feuerschwanz, unveil an epic reinterpretation of their hit anthem, “Das Elfte Gebot”. When medieval spirit meets heavy metal and life itself becomes a stage, Feuerschwanz are never far away. This newly recorded version of the 2020 fan favorite sets a musical blaze between grandeur, melancholy, and unrelenting zest for life. The song casts a poignant glance at the fleeting nature of time and serves as a powerful reminder to live life to the fullest. Watch the music video here.
“Das Elfte Gebot” (Epic Edition) is featured on several limited editions of the band’s upcoming album Knightclub, set for release on August 22 via Napalm Records. Knightclub is packed with infectious hooks, high-energy party anthems, grandiose choruses, and thunderous metal riffs. Once again, the band proves its signature mix of humor, heart, and high-octane songwriting.
Feuerschwanz on “Das Elfte Gebot“ (Epic Edition): “This time, it strikes straight to the heart. In the epic orchestral version of “Das Elfte Gebot”, the Hauptmann reveals a more vulnerable, human side than ever before. Captured in a mesmerizing one-shot video, music and imagery blend into a single, honest moment – a powerful experience that pulls you in and refuses to let go.”
Over the past few years, Feuerschwanz have undergone a remarkable transformation. After 20 years as a band and scoring two #1 albums in the Official German Album Charts, they are more successful and in demand than ever before. Their participation in the 2025 German Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection earned them nationwide acclaim and massive media attention, far beyond the genre’s borders. Their recent headlining tours were nearly sold out, they’ve taken prime slots at major festivals, and continue to generate millions of streams and video views.
Following the release of Knightclub, Feuerschwanz will once again take over Germany’s biggest stages – joining labelmates Lord Of The Lost and special guest The Dark Side Of The Moon on the massive Lords Of Fyre Tour – an unmissable event for fans of epic metal entertainment.
With Knightclub, Feuerschwanz release their first studio album with an English title – and for the first time, several tracks feature English lyrics. The title track became a fan favorite during the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection, firing up audiences across Germany. The album version features Dag-Alexis Kopplin of SDP on guest vocals.
Tracks like “Valhalla” and “Avalon” show a more epic, serious side of the band – with “Valhalla” featuring heavy metal legend Doro Pesch. The fantasy-inspired “The Tale of Sam The Brave” pays homage to Middle-earth, while “Name der Rose” draws from a literary classic. Previously released “Lords Of Fyre” (feat. Lord Of The Lost) sets the tone for their upcoming co-headline tour.
Produced by Simon Michael (Subway To Sally) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Evergrey, Arch Enemy, Volbeat), Knightclub features artwork by Peter Sallai (Powerwolf, Sabaton, Saxon, Hammerfall).
