BTW, figured out why I liked the opening act better the first time I saw them: it was a different band, with one of the same guys in it. Apparently he's in at least two bands. Here is the other band I liked better: http://tuivelsminne.at/

R J, I think it is primarily central european, that is from germany eastwards (and Corvus Corax are east german at that).

It’s connected with the re-enactment sub-culture that was pretty strong even in east bloc times in czechoslovakia and hungary.

The whole thing is a bit different from the renfaire scene in USania, dirtier, earthier and more violent (well, at least they fight with steel instead of rattan here…). The different music fits.
(Or I’m talking nonsense at 1:45 am)

And Mig, I’ll remind you once the dark times of winter are over…

Wow, that’s another world out there. Is this a primarily German thing? Or is Corvus Corax just a German exponent. I loved one of the comments at Amazon: “Corvus Corax is the Rolling Stones of the Middle Ages.” From the snippets, though, I didn’t detect a lot of variety. Do you have to be there?

Can’t help you with the belly-dancer, sorry.

But if you really want fire-breathing lessons, I can help. Gamma might be a bit young, and the problem there is mainly lung pressure, but the rest of you can learn easily and in about 20 Minutes in your back yard.
