Subway to Sally is a band hailing from Potsdam, Germany, known for their unique fusion of heavy metal with medieval folk and elements of gothic rock. Formed in 1990, the group started with a folk-focused sound before progressively incorporating electric guitars and heavier elements into their music. Their experimentation and blend of styles, coupled with their use of both modern and traditional instruments—such as bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, and violins—contribute to their distinctive sound, making them a significant presence in the medieval rock and folk metal scenes.

The members include Eric Fish (vocals and wind instruments), Bodenski (guitars, vocals, and lyrics), Ingo Hampf (lead guitar), Simon Michael Schmitt (drums), Sugar Ray (bass), Frau Schmitt (violin), and Simon (bagpipes and wind instruments). Notorious for their theatrical live performances and thought-provoking lyrics that often draw from historical and mythological themes, Subway to Sally has built a strong following over the years. Their recent releases "HEY!" and "Eisheilige Nacht - Back to Lindenpark," as well as the live album "Hey! Live - Alles was das Herz will," showcase the band's mature songwriting and commitment to a live sound that captures their energetic concerts, which remain central to their identity as performers.
