Schandmaul
Who are them?
Schandmaul is a German Mittelalter rock group from Munich. The band often includes instruments typically used in Medieval folk songs such as the bagpipes and shawms that make up their folk-rock sound. The name 'Schandmaul' translates roughly as 'malicious tongue', and is linked to their mascot of a grinning jester.
Best well-known for?
Actually Schandmaul is a very unknown group in Germany, Mittelalter rock isn`t popular here!
Schandmaul was founded in 1998. Til now they recorded 6 albums and 2 dvds.
Reason to pay homage fo them?
Schandmaul is sooo cool. Can`t get enough of their songs. They fit well for music videos of Lord of the Rings, which still are some great movies. And maybe Schandmaul will be the first german band I`ll use for a music video.
Oh, and Thomas simply has one of the best voices ever!
And another example for how good Schandmaul just fit for Lord of the Rings:
