2013, Corvus Corax is a German band known for playing Neo-Medieval music using an abundance of authentic instruments. Their name is the Latin name for the Common Raven. The band was formed in 1989 by Castus Rabensang, Wim (Venustus) and Meister Selbfried (´Master Selfpeace`) in East Germany. The band often uses bagpipes as the solo instrument; their live performances attract attention with the bizarre look of the musicians being reminiscent of ancient Greek myths: half-naked, dressed in unusual clothes, wearing primitive tribal decorations, often tattooed. GIMLIE, the 20th album from Corvus Corax, ´The Rolling Stones of Medieval Music`, finds them exploring historical Viking songs, languages and instruments. The band's lust for life imbues long-dead art with vigor and passion, bringing history alive in an awesome way.
