Leading modern folk metal force Feuerschwanz surprises with an epic metal cover of PSY's massive 2012 party hit "Gangnam Style" - the next single from its upcoming twelfth studio album, Knightclub, out on 25 July via Napalm Records. The song comes with an epic music video telling the "Gangnam Style" story in Feuerschwanz fashion.
Feuerschwanz comments: "Off to the Knightclub - Gangnam Style! Yes, we actually took dance lessons for the only real cover song on the new album. The K-pop hit from 2012 - a dance between the worlds, now with violin, bagpipes and a good dose of metal. A game of contrasts, a cover version like a ritual. Nobody asked for it - but we did it anyway".
With Knightclub, Feuerschwanz continues on the momentous path it has forged with its most recent albums. The band, which has undergone an impressive transformation in recent years, is now releasing its first-ever studio album with an English title and various lyrics in German and English. Knightclub embodies catchy hits, party-ready vibes, anthemic tracks and hard metal riffs. True to form, the band infuses their signature humour into songs bursting with high energy.
Knightclub was produced by Simon Michael (Subway To Sally) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Arch Enemy, Volbeat, Evergrey). The cover artwork was created by Peter Sallai (Powerwolf, Sabaton, Saxon, Hammerfall). Link
