Very much like their brethren in Corvus Corax, Cultus Ferox was a German middle ages rock-band, but with a little more focus on the rock as opposed to the middle ages. The band shaped in 2001. Their debut record, Wiederkehr, premiered in 2003, and was accompanied by Weihnachtstanze and Flamme des Meeres in 2003, Aufbruch in 2005, Fernweh in 2006, and Unbeugsam in 2006.
