Nearly seven minutes and an entire scene in one song: For the reinterpretation of their classic "Sternhagelvoll", In Extremo has gathered guests from eleven friendly acts. Never before have more acts from the medieval rock scene been featured together on one song.

Nearly seven minutes and an entire scene in one song: For the reinterpretation of their classic "Sternhagelvoll", In Extremo has gathered guests from eleven friendly acts. Never before have more acts from the medieval rock scene been featured together on one song.
For the XXL version of "Sternhagelvoller", singers from Feuerschwanz, d’Artagnan, Faun, Tanzwut, Subway To Sally, Versengold, Fiddler’s Green, Corvus Corax, Haggefugg, Storm Seeker, and Fabula are involved. Thus, the song becomes a large family reunion of the medieval rock scene.
Musically, the song immediately bridges to "Tranquilo II": Like the entire album, the In-Extremo classic appears here in a newly developed acoustic guise. On their second acoustic album, the band presents a total of 17 songs, including newly arranged pieces from more than three decades of band history, as well as a new title "Heute wird der Himmel brennen".
In Extremo are supported on the album by Oliver "SaTyr" Pade and Niel Mitra from Faun, as well as violinist Justin Ciuche. Other guests include Doro Pesch, Laura Fella from Faun, and Monchi from Feine Sahne Fischfilet.
Since the mid-1990s, In Extremo have been pioneers and influential creators of medieval rock. Their combination of historical instruments and centuries-old melodies with the power of rock and metal has developed into a distinctive signature sound. Four number-one albums in Germany, numerous gold and platinum awards, and an international career underline the band's special status.
On the physical special editions of "Tranquilo II", "Sternhagelvoller" is also part of the bonus EP: on the bonus CD of the deluxe edition and on the bonus 10-inch in the corresponding limited vinyl bundles.
In November and December, In Extremo will subsequently bring the album to the stage in an equally extraordinary setting. Deliberately selected venues such as the Admiralspalast in Berlin, the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg, the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, or the Circus Krone in Munich will serve as the backdrop for concerts where atmosphere, intimacy, and musical nuances take center stage instead of large rock production.
After more than three decades and a journey from medieval markets to the big stages of the world, In Extremo are closing a circle: back to making music together, back to the immediate encounter with their audience, and once again setting off for new musical shores.
