Tanzwut is a German medieval metal/industrial band known for blending traditional medieval music with modern heavy metal and electronic music elements. Emerging onto the music scene in the late 1990s, Tanzwut merges the use of historical instruments such as bagpipes with the driving force of rock guitar riffs and industrial beats, creating a unique and energetic sound that has captivated audiences in Germany and beyond.

Following their self-titled debut album, Tanzwut has consistently released a series of albums that demonstrate the band's versatility and commitment to their distinctive style. Hits like "Komet" and "Ihr wolltet Spaß" encapsulate their ability to craft hauntingly melodic yet vigorously dynamic tracks, often revolving around themes of medieval folklore and modern social commentary. Their recent work, including "Die Tanzwut kehrt zurück" in both its original and special edition formats, continues to engage fans with its vigorous anthems and collaborative efforts, such as "Bis zum Meer (feat. Moran Magal) [Unplugged]" and "Pack (feat. Saltatio Mortis)." With live performances that are both theatrical and electrifying, Tanzwut has established itself as a mainstay in the realm of medieval-inspired metal music.
