Königin - CD

With “Königin,” the pagan folk rock band Waldkauz presents its most powerful work to date—an album that breaks new ground both musically and thematically. The band from Hildesheim combines their deep-rooted love of mythical soundscapes with a bold step towards rock: for the first time, an electric guitar is used, blending seamlessly into the multi-layered soundscape of hurdy-gurdy, flutes, harp, and percussion. Thematically, “Königin” is dedicated to female power in all its facets – from legendary heroines and personal stories to socially relevant questions of identity and equality. The songs tell of strength, vulnerability, revenge and transformation – carried by epic arrangements, polyphonic vocals and a production that takes Waldkauz to a new level. “Königin” is more than an album—it is a musical statement that will delight fans of medieval folk as well as lovers of modern fantasy sounds. Whether at festivals or in the living room, this music unfolds its magic everywhere.
