Schmunzeldrache

Schmunzeldrache is a music project for medieval folk, folk rock, folk metal and fantasy music, somewhere between pagan folk and dark folk. Most songs are in German, alongside Old Norse songs and occasional excursions into other languages and genres.

You will find songs about dragons, jesters, dark bards, taverns, craftsmen, heroes, rogues and old legends, carried by hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes and lute. Sometimes loud and festive like a medieval market, sometimes raw and dark like a ballad by the campfire, sometimes warm and with a wink like a rogue's song in the tavern.

If you like Schandmaul, In Extremo or Feuerschwanz, you will find related sound worlds here with a handwriting of their own.

The songs are written in a dedicated songwriting workshop and produced as AI-assisted music. New songs appear every month, from drinking songs and battle chants to quiet ballads.

Come along and follow the Schmunzeldrache from tavern to tavern.
