Saltatio Mortis: Fan merch in the EMP shop

They have been making the finest medieval rock since 2000: Saltatio Mortis. In German, this is called "the dance of death". And logically, anyone who works under such a name and with stage names such as Alea the Modest, Lasterbalk the Blasphemous or Falk Irmenfried von Hasen-Mümmelstein clearly has an affinity for the Middle Ages. Saltatio Mortis started – similar to other bands from the genre – as street musicians. They play at medieval markets, fittingly they released their first record in 2000 with the name "Tavernakel – Marktmusik des Mittelalters". And have built up a loyal fan base over the years: Buy your Saltatio Mortis clothing in the EMP fan shop. Steadily growing success and several studio and live albums later, the eight and seven minstrels have become a considerable constant in the field of medieval rock and folk rock. Three number 1 albums and one gold record can confirm this. They have gained a loyal fan base: Buy your Saltatio Mortis clothing in the EMP fan shop. In 2021, they celebrate their 20th band anniversary with the album "Für immer frei". Anthemic, guitar-driven hits alternate with traditional instrumental sounds. Even punk borrowings and guest singers from the crossover genre such as Henning Wehland from the X-Blockx do not stop at the Saltatio Mortis minstrels. They just do their thing. Fun Fact 1: For their video shoot of "Never Alone", the warriors of Saltatio Mortis simply made a fan tender. Anyone was allowed to apply. Under the motto "Diversity", it was very important to the band members to show all facets of people and their fans. So a large, colorful crowd of fans was at the start of the video shoot and visibly had fun. Fun Fact 2: Saltatio Mortis always record their acoustic albums on their own. The somewhat rockier albums, amplified with electric guitars, are now released via Universal Music.

More muted tones (i.e. black!) as well as some splashes of color in red or white dominate the prints.

The Saltatio Mortis Shop at EMP: The Middle Ages meet the Modern

The band masterfully understands how to combine the straddle between folk elements and newer borrowings without alienating one of the two fan camps. And that's how they handle the designs of their band merch: symbolic elements such as the dove, the dragon or the dream catcher meet modern representations such as microphones or skulls. Always accompanied by what is important to them and what they express again and again in their lyrics and also in the song and album titles: the freedom of the minstrels. You can also find this on the Saltatio Mortis clothing.
