Corvus Corax

If someone unfamiliar with the work of German medieval metal band Corvus Corax was to stumble across the group performing, he might think that what he witnesses is more of a ritualistic pagan ceremony than a rock concert. The group typically performs in loincloths, feather boas, strange costumes and heathen style masks which all combine to give the group a very unique, but strange, aesthetic. The band got its start in 1989 and after the group honed its bagpipe-rich sound as well as its intense pyrotechnic stage show, the band somehow managed to win audiences over with its outlandish approach to music composition and its perplexing appearance.
