Popular German metallers Feuerschwanz have teamed up with German metal queen Doro Pesch to deliver the glorious Viking anthem of the year with their galvanizing new collaborative single “Valhalla .” With thunderous riffs, noisy energy, and united vocal power, the song is a triumphant march through Norse myths and metallic battles. Arriving alongside an incendiary official music video featuring both artists, “Valhalla” is taken from Feuerschwanz’s upcoming studio album, “KnightClub,” due out August 22 via Napalm Records .
“Valhalla” is not just a musical battle cry, but an ode to courage, unity, and the pursuit of eternal greatness. Between Viking ships and metal stages, two giants of the scene merge in an epic storm of sound!
Feuerschwanz have undergone a stunning transformation in recent years, and after 20 years as a band and two number one albums in the official German album charts, they are more successful and in demand than ever. Through their participation in the German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, the band managed to attract an audience of millions and media attention far beyond the genre’s boundaries.
Feuerschwanz Comments on “Valhalla” : “This song is not just for the ‘Brothers everywhere’, but for all the Vikings and Valkyries out there! Together with metal legend Doro Pesch we call upon the entire metal community: let’s stand side by side, let’s renew the oath and show the world that we all have something in common – namely, the love of heavy metal! Together we are strong – we stand together side by side. Peace, love and heavy metal – Feuerschwanz .”
Doro says of the collaboration: “As soon as I heard ‘Valhalla’ for the first time, I was immediately hooked and loved the idea of recording this song together. The video is also super epic and beautiful. I love it!”
With “KnightClub , ” Feuerschwanz releases its first studio album with an English title—and for the first time, several tracks feature English lyrics. “KnightClub” is characterized by catchy hits, absolute party vibes, big anthems, and hard-hitting metal riffs. Once again, the band manages to incorporate its unmistakable humor into energetic songs.
The title track became a fan favorite during the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection, galvanizing audiences across Germany. The album version features DAG-ALEXIS KOPPLIN of SDP on guest vocals. Tracks like “Valhalla” and “Avalon” showcase a more epic and serious side of the band. The fantasy-inspired “The Story of Sam the Brave” pays homage to Middle-earth, while “Nome der Rose” draws from a literary classic. The previously released “Lords of Fyre” (featuring Lord of the Lost ) sets the tone for the band’s upcoming co-headline tour.
Produced by Simon Michael ( Metro to Sally ) and mastered by Jacob Hansen ( Evergrey So, Arch Enemy So, Volbeat ), “KnightClub” features artwork by Peter Sallai ( Powerwolf So, Sabaton So, SAXON So, Hammerfall ).
