German power metal force, Feuerschwanz, have shared a reinterpretation of their anthem, “Das Elfte Gebot.” This newly recorded version of the 2020 fan favorite comes with its own music video, and features on several limited editions of their upcoming album, Knightclub. The full-length is set for release on August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records. Catch the new video and more from the band below.

Feuerschwanz on “Das Elfte Gebot“ (Epic Edition):
“This time, it strikes straight to the heart. In the epic orchestral version of “Das Elfte Gebot”, the Hauptmann reveals a more vulnerable, human side than ever before. Captured in a mesmerizing one-shot video, music and imagery blend into a single, honest moment – a powerful experience that pulls you in and refuses to let go.”
Over the past few years, Feuerschwanz have undergone a remarkable transformation. After 20 years as a band and scoring two #1 albums in the Official German Album Charts, they are more successful and in demand than ever before. Their participation in the 2025 German Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection earned them nationwide acclaim and massive media attention, far beyond the genre’s borders. Their recent headlining tours were nearly sold out, they’ve taken prime slots at major festivals, and continue to generate millions of streams and video views.
With Knightclub, Feuerschwanz release their first studio album with an English title – and for the first time, several tracks feature English lyrics. The title track became a fan favorite during the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection, firing up audiences across Germany. The album version features Dag-Alexis Kopplin of SDP on guest vocals.
Tracks like “Valhalla” and “Avalon” show a more epic, serious side of the band – with “Valhalla” featuring heavy metal legend Doro Pesch. The fantasy-inspired “The Tale of Sam The Brave” pays homage to Middle-earth, while “Name der Rose” draws from a literary classic. Previously released “Lords of Fyre” (feat. Lord Of The Lost) sets the tone for their upcoming co-headline tour.
Produced by Simon Michael (Subway To Sally) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Evergrey, Arch Enemy, Volbeat), Knightclub features artwork by Peter Sallai (Powerwolf, Sabaton, Saxon, Hammerfall).
