In Extremo: The legendary band celebrates another gold award in front of 10,000 enthusiastic fans this weekend at their own sold-out festival!

An extraordinary moment for an extraordinary band last Saturday in front of over 10,000 enthusiastic fans: As part of the sold-out "Weckt die Toten Festival" organized by the band on Peißnitzinsel near Halle, In Extremo, the pioneers of medieval rock, were awarded a gold record for their album "Quid Pro Quo". This honor marks the eighth gold award in the impressive career of the band and recognizes the sale of over 100,000 units of this long player.

Since their founding in 1995, In Extremo have continually pushed the boundaries of music. Often copied, but never matched, they are among the great innovators of contemporary music history: As the first band to combine medieval stylistic elements with modern, hard rock sounds, they created a unique genre that had never been heard before. The award for their long player "Quid Pro Quo," which debuted at number 1 on the German album charts in its release year 2016, underscores the undeniable triumph of the rockers, who can now look back on a 29-year band history.

The "Weckt die Toten Festival," initiated by In Extremo and named after their debut album "Weckt die Toten!" (1998), provided the perfect setting and a unique atmosphere for the special ceremony. Tim Mälzer, a long-time friend of the band, and Henry von Rauhbein, lead singer of the band Rauhbein, presented the gold award in the presence of 10,000 fans from around the world. And in the future, the medieval rockers will not be quiet. On September 13, In Extremo will release their 13th album "Wolkenschieber."

"Wolkenschieber" will be released on September 13, 2024, as a CD digisleeve and black double vinyl, as limited CD deluxe versions including two bonus tracks or double vinyl in pearl optics in 180 grams with a noble, signed art print. Additionally, various bundles with an exclusive T-shirt and an exclusive "Wolkenschieber" bitter, specially distilled for this album by the oldest Berlin schnapps manufacturer Mampe Spirituosen GmbH.
