Tanzwut is a German industrial metal/medieval band.
The name means "dance rage".
The band's sound can be recognised by their heavy use of bagpipes and the occasional influences
from electronic music.
Originally the band was comprised of members from the medieval band Corvus Corax.
In 2010, Tanzwut and Corvus corax separated with Teufel remaining the only founding member on Tanzwut.
The current line-up of Tanzwut is:
- Teufel (vocals, bagpipe)
- René (guitar)
- Der Zwilling (bass, bagpipe)
- Pyro (bagpipes, shawm)
- Thrymr (bagpipes, shawm)
- Oually (keyboard, e-drums, drums)
- Shumon (drums)
In 2011, Tanzwut started playing fully medieval shows in addition to their rock concerts.
On those medieval shows, the band is complemented by Holzwurm (bagpipes).
Since autumn of 2011 Oually already had replaced Jagbird on keyboard and drums.
In 2012, Ardor and Martin Ukrasvan left the band for other projects. Pyro and René were welcomed in Tanzwut.

Tanzwut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ite procul ab his festis!
Procul ite! Quid hic estis?
Non est locus his modestis.
Vina qui non gustat pura,
miser vivat et in cura!
The lyrics to Tanzwut's song Toccata can be interpreted as a warning against overindulgence in alcohol at festive events. The first two lines, "Qui potare non potestis, ite procul ab his festis!" translate to "If you cannot drink, go far away from these festivities!" The singer is telling those who cannot handle their alcohol to leave in order to avoid causing problems. The next two lines, "Procul ite! Quid hic estis? Non est locus his modestis," can be translated to "Go away! Why are you here? There is no place here for the modest." This can be interpreted as the singer telling those who cannot handle their alcohol to leave and not ruin the festive vibe for others.
The next two lines, "Vina qui non gustat pura, miser vivat et in cura!" can be translated to "Who does not taste pure wine will live wretchedly and in stress!" This can be interpreted as the singer warning against fake or diluted wine, suggesting that anyone who drinks such wine will have a difficult and unhappy life.
