Sturmpercht/Schattenlieder/Percht/2010 CD Review

  Sturmpercht are a band that are one of the originators of Alpine Folk that has also had one of their previous albums reviewed in this zine and this is a review of their 2010 album "Schattenlieder" which was released by Percht.

Drums are mostly slow beats,while the accordions bring out the feel of the forests, as for the flutes they have a very medieval sounding feel to them.

Acoustic guitars are mostly slow to mid paced folk music guitar riffs, while the lyrics are mostly clean singing vocals with some whispers being used at times along with spoken word passages.

Lyrics are written in German and they are about heathen legends, strange fairies, and pagan rites, as for the production it has a very powerful sound to it that gives all of the musical instruments a good sound.

In my opinion this is another good album from   Sturmpercht and fans of this band as well as Neo_Folk wont be disappointed. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Stechapfeinacht" "Salamanderschnaps" "Der Tranekrug" and "Die Teufelsgeiger". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Sturmpercht/Awilde Zeit/Percht/2009 CD Review

Sturmpercht are a band from Switzerland that plays a style that I would describe as being Alpine Folk and this is a review of their compilation album "A Wilde Zeit" which was released by Percht during the year of 2009.

Percussion's are mostly slow beats that have a medieval folk music feel with some tribal beats, while the acoustic guitars are very primal sounding neo-folk music riffs with a small amount of classical guitar being used at times, as for the accordions they have a very medieval feeling sound to them.

Vocals are all clean singing vocals with some whispers and a good amount of aggression with some spoken word parts, while the synths have a very tragic sound to them, as for the the lyrics are written in German and are about Alpine tales and legends from long forgotten times with some songs about creatures and others being about beer drinking, while the production it has a very powerful sound that brings the medieval music to the modern days.

In my opinion Sturmpercht are a very talented neo-folk band that should appeal to all fans of this genre. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Wir Rufen Deine Wolfe" "Ewige Geganwart" "Der Marsch Der Wampelerreiter" and "Schnaderhupfiska". RECOMMENDED BUY.

Sturrmperct/Salamandersschnapps/Video Review

Sturmperct are a neo folk band from Austria and this is a review of their song and video "Salamanderschnapps.

Acoustic guitars have a very medieval feel with some accordions and flutes being used while the keyboards sound very atmospheric.

Vocals are all clean singing, spoken word and I assume the lyrics cover paganism and nature, there are also a lot of pictures of the woods and animals in Europe.

In my opinion this is a good song from Sturmpercht and I would like to hear more music from this band.
