The new Schelmish album Wir Werden Sehen was kind of informally announced here a month ago when “I told you about their single “Moor” but I thought you might like to know a little more about the album. Wir Werden Sehen typifies Schelmish’s folk-rock style which seems to be growing in popularity in Germany lately. If you like the sound of bagpipes and other more traditional instruments combined with your rock music, like fans of In Extremo or Saltatio Mortis do, you will almost definitely like Wir Werden Sehen. The medieval instruments lay out the melodies while the guitar riffs come in to stir things up a bit. It’s a combination that’s very pleasing to the ears.

Wir Werden Sehen will be released this Friday, October 19th, in Germany. Unfortunately, there’s no U.S. release, but you can buy a copy from Isotank who has imported them for us. They are kind of expensive, but you would be paying just as much if you imported it yourself from a German online shop. It’s a shame good music has to cost so much just because we are far away.

Abella.de has samples for every song on the album that you can download or stream with Real Player. But if you hate Real Player as much as I do, Schelmish’s MySpace page currently has 4 full length songs from the new album that you can listen to, instead. (Is MySpace really any better than Real Player? They are both pretty bad if you ask me, but that’s a discussion for another time…)

Schelmish released a new single yesterday in anticipation of their forthcoming album “Wir Werden Sehen” which will be out on October 19th. The maxi single for “Moor” also features the song “Der Narr” from the album, plus 2 non-album tracks that are exclusive to this release. You can actually listen to the full version of “Der Narr” on Schelmish’s MySpace page right now. The music is pretty much your typical medieval rock, perfect for fans of In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, or Subway To Sally.

I will have some more information about the upcoming album when the release date is a little closer.
