(Dunno if this is the right category for them, but there was none for folkmetal, surprisingly enough *gg*)

Thanateros will finally be releasing their long awaited album nr 3 in spring '05! The single "Dirty old town" (yes, as known from Rod Steward and the Pogues) will be released in February, along with a video. This is absolutely the best version of Dirty old town I have ever heard (and I am a folkie and have heard many!). The album also has some really great folkmetal interpretations of traditional stuff, along with self-made songs that really rock.

Thanateros online: www.thanateros.de - there are listening samples from their previous album, Circle of life, on the site.

They will be doing three concerts together with Umbra et Imago in January.

hmmm I liked the samples from Circle of life!! I was not impressed with the samples from their debut CD though.

The folk stuff is nice.
But I didn't really like the rest.
Especially not the vocals.

Grieche: I've ever only heard the first CD once. It's not exactly what I like... but the next CD will be putting more emphasis on the folk stuff again.

Jrgen: you don't like the vocals? Hm. I love Ben's voice. Well, everyone can't like everything, I s'pose

At least you listened to them *is happy*
