In short
A medieval party band from Erlangen that turned professional. For fifteen years it was comedy — innuendo, hurdy-gurdy, Renaissance-fair bookings — and then a 2019 signing to Napalm Records swapped the punchlines for power metal production without dropping the bagpipes. Memento Mori and Fegefeuer both entered the German album chart at number one.
