The band's recent releases have been gravitating towards a more [[industrial metal]] approach, incorporating the use of more [[down-tuned guitar]]s, harsher vocals and darker atmospheres.

Tanzwut (German pronunciation: [ˈtantsvuːt]) is a German Neue Deutsche Härte and Medieval metal band which originated as a side project of Corvus Corax members. The band uses a Medieval theme during their live performances which are expressed through their stagecraft, costumes and choreography.[1][2]

Their name is the German term for "dancing mania", but is directly translated with "dance rage".[3] Tanzwut are known for their heavy use of bagpipes, an unusual instrument for a metal band. The group has achieved international success, filling concert halls as far away from their home country as Mexico.

Since Ihr wolltet Spass the band have been gravitating towards a more industrial metal approach, incorporating the use of more down-tuned guitars, harsher vocals and darker atmospheres. On Weiße Nächte ("White Nights") though, Tanzwut completely removed its industrial sound for a more refined classical approach centered around bagpipes with a heavy metal sound. However, some of the industrial influence returned with Höllenfahrt ("Hell Ride") and the band have written material in a more traditional style similar to that of Corvus Corax (Morus et Diabolus and Eselsmesse).
