Anderswelt

Anderswelt is the sixth album released by the German Medieval folk rock band Schandmaul on 4 April 2008.

Thematically, the album focusses on creatures of mythology like sirens ("Sirenen"), werewolves ("Wolfsmensch") and spirits (as in "Stunde des Lichts").

The track "Drei Lieder" (Three Songs) tells of a young bard who participates in a singers' competition to take revenge on the prince who once destroyed his native village and killed his only brother.

[4] The Austrian webzine Stormbringer lauded the album's diversity and balance and rated it five stars out of five.

[2] The German Sonic Seducer magazine wrote that the general tone of Anderswelt was more positive and brighter than that of Schandmaul's prior album Mit Leib und Seele.
