Newest Review: ... in to place though. Perhaps it is the lack of variation in the medieval tunes or the awkward vocals. The vocals are little ... more  ... more than spoken quickly, occasionally crooned in a folky way - it's quite jolly and seems rather warm and humorous but I can't help but feel female vocals are more suited to the band's music. The violin playing in particular is highly enjoyable and I like some of the sad songs but again the vocals seem a bit strange, while I accept that a dramatical voice would suit such songs - I'm not quite sure that the singer pulls it off, it sounds more like a tragic musical.
There are large gaps in the tracks between the bursts...more |

Narrenkoenig - Schandmaul: Disappointing medieval German folk rock (282 words)
by - written on 18/02/09 (Very useful, 50 readings)
Rating:
Narrenkonig is the 3rd album by German Folk Rock band Schandmaul, earlier this year I reviewed a later album by the band - Wie Pech & Schwefel which came 2 years later. This one released in 2002, sounds very similar, there is a medival folky sound which I normally rather like, there's something which doesn't quite seem to click in to place though. Perhaps it is the lack of variation in the medieval tunes or the awkward vocals. The vocals are little more than spoken quickly, occasionally crooned in a folky way - it's quite jolly and seems rather warm and humorous but I can't help but feel female vocals are more suited to the band's music.

brilliant sound I Don't Know Why 
wea\ker tracks especially It's All About loads of hits a bland cover Great new album; The Boss is back!! Some people have really slated it. A stunning album from a fresh, exciting band None Great tunes None yetNo World Order - Gamma Ray
Unadulterated heavy metal for genre fans. Mix Judas Priest with Helloween, and dilute.
Powerplant - Gamma Ray
Continues the classic metal sound. Almost entirely derivative of itself and other bands.
Somewhere Out In Space - Gamma Ray
Classic speed metal, finally escaping the Helloween comparison. Cheesy lyrics and dated sound, but for me this is a bonus.
Victory Songs - Ensiferum
More fun folk metal. Runs ideas into the ground.
Eld - Enslaved
Continues to evolve Viking metal in a perfect fusion with black metal. First song steals thunder from the others.
Jaktens Tid - Finntroll
Highly inventive, a perfect balance between polka and black metal elements. Can seem ludicrous at first.
Iron - Ensiferum
More energetic. Still not enormously varied.
Crimson - Edge Of Sanity
Bold and varied death metal epic. Too sprawling and changeable.
Nothing But Death Remains - Edge Of Sanity
Great example of the early Swedish death metal sound. Few original ideas, and lacking individuality.
The Spectral Sorrows - Edge Of Sanity
Talented death metal with a nice melodic angle. Concessions towards accessibility are mostly disappointing.
