Corvus Corax - Cantus Buranus
Review by Beth Beck
Cantus Buranus by Corvus Corax is a mesmerizing album that takes the listener on a journey through medieval times. The German band, known for their unique blend of medieval and modern music, has created a stunning masterpiece that is both haunting and beautiful.
The album opens with the powerful and rhythmic "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The soaring vocals and intricate instrumentation transport the listener to a time long ago. The album features a mix of original compositions and adaptations of traditional medieval songs, all of which are performed with impeccable skill and passion.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "In Taberna," a lively and energetic song that is sure to get listeners dancing. The hauntingly beautiful "Cantus Buranus" is another highlight, featuring ethereal vocals and a haunting melody.

About Corvus Corax
Corvus Corax is a German band known for playing medieval music using an abundance of authentic instruments. Their name is the scientific name for the Common Raven. The band was formed in 1989 by Castus Rabensang, Win (Venustus) and Meister Selbfried ("Master Selfpeace"). The band often uses bagpipes as the solo instrument, their live performances attract attention with bizarre look of the musicians being reminiscent of ancient Greek myths: half-naked, dressed in unusual clothes, wearing different ancient-like decorations, often tattooed.
