Corvus Corax is a band that stands at the forefront of the medieval music revival, known for their authentic and energetic interpretations of ancient music. Formed in East Berlin, Germany, in 1989, the band has been breathing new life into centuries-old melodies and lyrics, melding historical instrumentation with modern influences. Their name, Latin for "raven," evokes the mysterious and storied past that their music so vividly brings to life.

Over the years, Corvus Corax has become synonymous with grandiose live performances, often appearing in medieval attire and playing a wide array of traditional instruments such as bagpipes, percussion, and strings. Their recent releases, including "Víkingar," "Yggdrasill (Resurrected)," and "Era Metallum," demonstrate their continued dedication to exploring different facets of medieval music, from the bardic and folksy to the epic and orchestral. With "Misty Mountains (Corvus Corax Remix)," the band also showcases their ability to blend their distinctive style with modern fantasy themes, further expanding their diverse musical repertoire. Whether performing acoustic versions or full-blown metal-infused tracks, Corvus Corax creates a bridge that connects the ancient past to the present, inviting listeners to embark on a timeless journey through history and myth.
