I have to say that the combination of folk, medival and metal never really belonged to my personal faves. But I also have to say that there are good examples focusing on this mixture.

I'm sorry to say that Krayenzeit doesn't belong to those bands. Also their new release will not change this. "Auf dunklen Schwingen" is the name of the disc that contains 14 tracks. Some of the songs sound like heard before while I had the feeling that tunes like "Nachtvogel" are fragmented which interrupts the flow.

Krayenzeit tries to be on the one hand heavy and riff-based like in "Nachtvogel" and on the other hand they are almost writing Shantie tunes like in "Verschenkt". And last but not least there are songs like "Erntefest" that tries to combine different styles into one song. It sounds to me like Walther auf der Vogelweide meets metal. No, this isn't made for my ears.

A positive thing though is the solid production. The sound is nuanced and powerful which is something very positive.

There are for sure fans that highly appreciate Krayenzeit's album which is a harder version of Der Graf. But it isn't my cup of tea. --- mwiemetalblog.over-blog.com

Krayenzeit is a band from southern Germany, formed in 2011, will be raising the roof this summer as they present their new album “Tenebra”, a worthy successor to their 2015 debut “Auf dunklen Schwingen”, which received unanimous praise from the trade press, the online community and the fans alike.

This is their sophomore album “Tenebra”. It comes with thirteen songs. The opening track prepares you for what is yet to come on this album. The musical style is close to medieval music but also carries a strong rock influence. Most lyrics on this album are in German. The catchy melodies will pull you along and cause your muscles to twitch, so it does not really matter whether you listen to the lyrics closely or not. But they sure are worth listening closely. The speed of the songs vary between fast and slow enough to sway along. Each song will cause images to wander through your mind.

Krayenzeit has created a brand new album. “Tenebra” is the name of this master piece. The music on this album will warm the medieval hearts within all of you. So go ahead and listen to this album now and let the spirit of Krayenzeit infect you. --- Nina Mende, tempelores.com
