Rooted in the ancient Cimbrian heritage of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni (Italy), Balt Hüttar return with “Tanzerloch", a powerful new chapter in their folk metal journey. Active since 2011 and winners of several national and international contests, the band has made a name for itself with a unique artistic mission: to revive and promote the history, language and traditions of the Cimbri--an almost forgotten Germanic population who settled in northern Italy centuries ago. After their acclaimed debut "Trinkh Met Miar", Balt Hüttar now deliver their most articulate and metal-driven album to date. "Tanzerloch" expands their sonic palette with new instruments, dynamic arrangements and an even deeper use of the ancient Cimbrian language--turning the album into both a musical and cultural statement.
The record is a concept journey through 11 tracks that explore the Plateau's history, myths and universal themes. Traditional elements and folk melodies meet metal energy in songs like "1310", which celebrates the foundation of the Regency of the Seven Communes or "Tin Tan Nona", a reimagined Cimbrian nursery rhyme that links past and present through sound and memory. The album closes with the evocative title track "Tanzerloch" inspired by a Cimbrian legend of witches dancing in a mountain sinkhole--transforming folklore into a vortex of sound and myth.
Balt Hüttar are more than a folk metal band: they are cultural custodians bringing to life forgotten stories with modern musical fire. "Tanzerloch" is a rich and immersive experience that will appeal to fans of Eluveitie, Folkstone, Korpiklaani, Furor Gallico and Arkon--but also to anyone who values authenticity, narrative depth and powerful atmospheres.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Christian Zecchin and visually brought to life with artwork by Fabio Porfidia, "Tanzerloch" is released via Rockshots Records and ready to resonate far beyond the Plateau.
