Today, Feuerschwanz and metal queen Doro deliver the glorious viking anthem of the year with their galvanizing new collaborative single “Valhalla“! With thunderous riffs, boisterous energy and united vocal power, the song is a triumphant march through Nordic myths and metallic battles. Arriving alongside an incendiary official music video prominently featuring both artists, “Valhalla” is cut from Feuerschwanz‘s upcoming studio album, “Knightclub”, out August 22, 2025, via Napalm Records.
“Valhalla“ is not just a musical battle cry, but an ode to courage, cohesion and the pursuit of eternal greatness. Between Viking ships and metal stages, two giants of the scene merge into an epic thunderstorm of sound!
Feuerschwanz have undergone an impressive transformation in recent years and, after 20 years as a band and two #1 albums on the official German album charts, are more successful and in demand than ever. Through their participation in the German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, the band managed to attract an audience of millions and media attention far beyond the borders of the genre.
Feuerschwanz on “Valhalla“:
This song is not only for the ‘Brothers everywhere’, but for ALL Vikings & Valkyries out there! Together with metal legend Doro Pesch, we call on the entire metal community: Let’s stand side by side, let’s renew the oath and show the world that we all have something in common – namely the love for heavy metal! Together we are strong – we stand together side by side. Peace, love and heavy metal – Feuerschwanz.
Doro on the collaboration:
As soon as I heard ‘Valhalla’for the first time, I was immediately hooked and loved the idea of recording this song together. The video is also super epic and beautiful. I love it!

With “Knightclub”, Feuerschwanz release their first studio album with an English title – and for the first time, several tracks feature English lyrics. “Knightclub” is characterized by catchy hits, absolute party mood, great anthems and hard metal riffs. Once again, the band manages to incorporate their unmistakable humor into songs bursting with energy.
The title track became a fan favorite during the Eurovision Song Contest pre-selection, firing up audiences across Germany. The album version features Dag-Alexis Kopplin of SDP on guest vocals.
Tracks like “Valhalla” and “Avalon” show a more epic, serious side of the band – with “Valhalla” featuring heavy metal legend Doro Pesch. The fantasy-inspired “The Tale of Sam The Brave” pays homage to Middle-earth, while “Name der Rose” draws from a literary classic. Previously released “Lords of Fyre” (feat. Lord Of The Lost) sets the tone for their upcoming co-headline tour.
Produced by Simon Michael (Subway To Sally) and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Evergrey, Arch Enemy, Volbeat), “Knightclub” features artwork by Peter Sallai (Powerwolf, Sabaton, Saxon, Hammerfall).
