A bit of background: It's the first single from Saltatio Mortis' upcoming concept album Finsterwacht ("dark watch"), an hommage to German tabletop RPG Das Schwarze Auge (DSA)/The Dark Eye (TDE) for it's 40 years aniversary. The box contains the CD, a novel (one of the authors - Bernhard Hennen - is the one, who dies on the field after handing out the map), a tabletop adventure book (choose your own adventure style) and dice. Saltatio Mortis is a German medieval rock band, but they also mix in different music styles. The second single (Schwarzer Strand/"black beach") and the third single (Feuer und Erz/Fire Ore) are already out, and there are 2 more. There are also (German) making of videos for all of the music videos. Rondra is the goddess of war etc. Finsterwacht (Darkenguard) are a line of towers/beacons in the mountains of Finsterkamm, as last line of defense between the lands of humans and orcs (those are the creatures in the video) at Heldentrutz, a part of Weiden in the Middenrealm at the continent of Aventuria. Their function is to warn the people as seen in the video. Saltatio Mortis (latin for "dance of the death") is the group trying to reach this goal in the video. The video took 4 days of shooting, with a lot of LARPers - which is why they have such good costumes. The choir at the beginning and end is from Prague orchestra. Hansi from Blind Guardian sings at the chorus, sometimes alone, sometimes with Saltatio Mortis' lead singer Alea (the blonde, bearded guy).

The game also comes with ambient music. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a try. Imho a hidden gem. I like "Herzogtum Weiden", "Der Weg Ins Abenteuer", "Uralte Steine" and "Die Schwarzfedern". I've listened to it roughly as much as to the Finsterwacht album itself.

There are several movie-like videos of Saltatio Mortis, with a lot of them referring to Video games. (Not mentioned already was "God of War" with Peyton Parrish.) Now the amazing thing is that up to this one, they did all the productions completely on their own, with help by friends in the LARP- and Cosplay community (save the special effects). "Pray to the hunter" was done that way and it just looks amazing. This time, for the first time, they hired a camera crew as they had to shoot a lot of scenes at night and also could not do this completely on their own anymore. I think it was well worth it. :)

I am relished to experienced and witness "The Cure", from a young audience 😊 The Cure are as an important British contribution especially 80's Britain to music as 'The Beatles', 'The Clash' or 'Radiohead'. and for one ageing fan at least, the most important band ever. I survived the eighties thanks to Bob (despite Margaret Thatcher!) LOL Thankfully ‘Friday I’m In Love’ came along in the nineties! By the late 1970s, New Wave was an umbrella term that included power pop, synthy stuff, and whatever Devo and The B-52s were. Today, post-punk specifically refers to the dark and doomy UK bands that came in the wake of Joy Division, PIL, and Wire but at the time a band like The Vapours could also be labelled post-punk. In 1979 UK, they used the term New Wave to mean post-punk. So, Joy Division may have privately thought of themselves as a punk band (as Peter Hook can’t stop saying in his humble/bragging way) but, at the time, they always described themselves as a New Wave band. The Cure’s Boys Don’t Cry may just be the exact album to pull out if you want to hear when the funner New Wave of the 1970s starting to turn into the starker, bleaker post-punk of the early 1980s. On their very next album, Seventeen Seconds, there are no moments of sugary pop thrills to be had but Boys Don’t Cry is fun and bright and dark and moody. Of course, in real time during the early 1980s I just really liked the songs on Boys Don’t Cry and it didn’t think about micro genres too much. Today, I was impressed with myself for coming to the conclusion that The Cure’s debut. I have no idea if Robert Smith had already heard Joy Division when he recorded his initial set of 1979 Cure songs or not. At the time, the young Robert Smith name checked David Bowie’s Low a number of time as his key influence. I remember how odd it was hearing Seventeen Seconds for the first time in the early 1980s and discovering that The Cure had taken a pretty drastic stylistic turn away from pop for their second album even as they were still very recognizable as the same band. Boys Don’t Cry showcases a guitar combo even if Robert Smith’s rhythm guitar was sometimes lowered in relation to the bass and drums even before Seventeen Seconds made things more about the bass/keyboards/drums than the leader’s guitar. Great rhythm guitar here, with Chris Perry turning Smith’s overdubbed guitar solos WAY UP in the mix. The Cure were a surprisingly bass heavy band from the start, even considering Michael Dempsey’s more traditional playing style here. The Cure’s bass sound would give way to Simon Gallup’s more melodic style soon after this. Robert Smith would go on to rate Gallup as being the other essential member of The Cure, besides himself. Gallup found a nice middle ground between Peter Hook’s singular style and that of a regular bass player who, you know, plays bass parts and not what are essentially guitar solos the way Hooky does. The band came up with the music together with Smith adding in the lyrics and the vocal melodies. Even though The Cure was a teenage band they’d been playing together for a long stretch, in different forms. They have more of a musical vocabulary at their disposal than most other young post-punk bands. There are light rockabilly and jazzy touches to the playing here - as well as some 1977 style UK punk snottiness. At the time I never really noticed how The Cure’s “Grinding Halt” and The Beat’s “Big Shot” have so much in common - both are jittery, but fun, New Wave rock of the highest order. Robert Smith knew how to employ a few words to create great imaginary in his lyrics right from the start. The second side of Boys Don’t Cry kicks off with “Killing An Arab” and “Fire In Cairo” - this last track, if anything, sounds even cooler today than it did in 1979. Burning an image in your mind with a few smartly chosen words is hard to do - Sade is another master at it. “Subway Song,” like a scene from an old noir film, is so evocative that I remember it as a slowly rambling epic - like a horror thriller version of The Jam’s fantastic “Down In The Tube Station At Midnight.” But, “Subway Song” is just one quick snapshot image of a girl in jeopardy and then its over - it uses about half of its run time just fading out into silence. Robert Smith wasn’t happy with either version of The Cure’s debut album. He wanted to create a fresh, complete studio work and not showcase what his band sounded like in concert. After all, this was a young artist with David Bowie’s Low in his head. Unknown Pleasures, by Joy Division, presented a brilliant debut album to the world that wasn’t anything like the chaotic band’s stage set. The Cure’s first album is way more honest to who they were but Joy Division’s debut is art. From here on out Robert Smith asked for complete artistic control over his recordings - from sound to sequence to artwork - and he got it. I think he was 20 years old at the time. United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Puno puno hvala, jako sam sretan... ♥️😘☺️☺️☺️ Saltatio Mortis is a German medieval metal group. The Latin name means "dance of death".

Saltatio Mortis released the english version of the video just yesterday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYGyq6R_apyXaNU

[@paulinebrook2630]

Bruce Dickinson is the singer with Iron Maiden! Hansi Kürsch is the Blind Guardian vocalist and Alea is the singer of Soltatio Mortis, he's the guy with the blond hair. It's an epic song and based on Lord of the Rings I think.

[@michaelanothdurft6244]

Try "pray to the hunter" "my mother told me" or "the dragonborn comes" from Saltatio Mortis. All 3 of them have epic Videos just shorter than rhis one 😊
