NAPALM RECORDS Knightclub [VINYL]

Top charting modern folk metal leaders FEUERSCHWANZ are set to release their twelfth studio album, Knightclub, on July 25, 2025 via Napalm Records. Over the years, the band has solidified its place at the forefront of modern folk metal, with recent albums Memento Mori (2021) and Fegefeuer (2023) both reaching #1 on the official German album charts. Their previous headline tours were nearly entirely sold out, they performed at prime slots at the biggest festivals, and their songs and videos have amassed millions of streams. A standout moment came at the end of 2024 when they celebrated their 20th anniversary at the largest Metfest ever, performing in front of over 7,000 enthusiastic fans. With Knightclub, FEUERSCHWANZ continue on the momentous path they’ve forged with their 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 humor into songs bursting with high energy. The title track, “Knightclubâ€, is an anthem that has already energized millions during its appearance in the Eurovision Song Contest preliminary round, and is sure to turn every metal event into a massive party. On the album version, the band is supported on vocals by Dag-Alexis Kopplin of SDP. Songs like “Valhalla†and “Avalonâ€, on the other hand, are epic anthems and showcase the band’s more serious side. “Valhalla†also features legendary guest appearances by Doro Pesch and Miracle of Sound. “The Tale of Sam the Brave†transports listeners to Middle-Earth, while “Name der Rose†celebrates another literary classic. The previously released “Lords Of Fyre†feat. Lord of the Lost is a harbinger of the bands’ upcoming co-headline tour, and their cover of “Gangnam Style†adds yet another unmissable party hit to the mix. 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). With Knightclub, FEUERSCHWANZ cement their status as the hottest band in Germany, proving that they have truly arrived at the top with a blend of great anthems, catchy party hits and metallic sounds, all wrapped up with a pinch of FEUERSCHWANZ’s signature humor.
