Be-inside, Kusel, Germany
21st April 2005
Corvus Corax

Some days after I had seen Tanzwut together with their support band Cornix Maledictum I went to Kusel´s club be-inside (www.be-insi.de) to see Corvus Corax… I saw the same people on stage like some days before… Corvus Corax is the same as Tanzwut (together with Ardor from Cornix Maledictum). Entering the club at about 8 o´ clock, there were really a lot of people in front of the stage. About 200 people came to see them playing live and enjoyed a medieaval evening.

Music
After some pounding drumbeats the audience came to the stage and welcomed the band which entered the stage by loud clappings. They played their songs with a lot of energy and power… Everybody knows his handcraft and the sound in the small club knows to enthuse. The interaction between the musicians is pretty good and even when they sing together it sounds great! They played a lot of mediaeval instruments like 2 really big drumsets, sometimes up to 5 bagpipes together, some flutes and more… The modern equipment they needed was hidden in their leather costumes. The show at this evening was really long and Corvus Corax played 23 songs with a single small break.

Performance
Even on this small stage (they had just enough room to play) they presented a good choreographed show. Each song they played is choreographed and has its own moves and symmetry. The whole show is really fast and wild but through their choreography it´s really relaxing to enjoy and dance to their music. Before they went out for a small break they invited the audience to drink a lot more! “There is not enough alcohol in the air…” They asked us to make the woman naked and the man should go to the back of the club…But after the break there were no naked woman in the front and also not the smell of alcohol in the air…only a good humored audience waiting for the band and their show. The whole evening the contact between the band and the audience was really good. The interaction between the musicians and the fans couldn´t be better… Even the lights were good…enough lights were shining on the stage and some flashes appeared behind the musicans.
