Our site: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB - Weit Weg - remake - by RammsteinChildrenMedievalBand2022-09-30 | Recorded two years ago, never had enough time to improve on the mastering. But it's a pity to throw it away. So we post it now, while trying hard to finish a new album, hopefully before the end of this year.
Where are my people I’m all alone in this strange land Forsaken Not of their will, but of others, My people, Knights they once were Men of glory! Their song mute… I pray that Thor Hears this prayer from us Know that we won’t Accept this fate Just like our blood Know that we won’t accept this fate

If you're tired of rap-pop, here is a good old rock song written by the great guitarist Rick Derringer in the early '70s. Stefan learned the original solo, note-by-note, and performs it (almost) perfectly. We even started as the original recording made by J. Winter with the 'hit it on four' joke. Olga couldn't be with us in the filming, although she is still alive... she is not too well (COVID). ;-( Dan, 11, is trying to learn bass so he joined in.
CMB web: childrenmedievalband.wordpress.com fb: facebook.com/CMBOfficialMusicCMB - Abyss (dont look into)ChildrenMedievalBand2020-08-01 | We make this song public now - better later than never. It's been released last year on our EP album 'Abyss'. For our fans, this is a 'Hello', we've been inactive for a while, as a band, but we'll be back soon this year. To make it short: we've been really busy with other stuff - Stefan finished his first year in college, Olga won an essay contest in the state of Maine, Cornelia got a 2nd place, etc... More details will be written on our site, in a while.
CMB site:: childrenmedievalband.wordpress.com FB: facebook.com/CMBOfficialMusic.CMB - The Farmington GigChildrenMedievalBand2019-07-29 | Soon after moving back to US, we've been invited to play a 3 hours gig at Farmington Fairgrounds in Maine. We didn't have much time, and we had to rehearse about 40 songs in about one week! Ten compositions and 30 covers. That was a lot of work!
About 500 people were supposed to attend this fund raising party. Unfortunately the audience was much less numerous. Less than a hundred. So we only played some of the songs. On top of that the video camera broke and we used a cheaper one. The recording is mediocre. However the live performance was in reality quite good and the audience was impressed. So we decided to share fragments with our friends.
An interesting detail: CMB presented themselves with a new name: "Crossland Medieval Band". Maybe we'll keep it. Somehow it fits, because we moved a lot - crossed many lands.

The "Abyss" EP is available in digital format at childrenmedievalband.bandcamp.com, amazon, itunes, spotify, etc..CMB - Sad & Bad (in spite of all the)ChildrenMedievalBand2019-06-09 | Song from the EP album "Abyss". Lyrics are there, meaning is more or less relevant. Filmed in a Romanian country side. CMB albums are available at childrenmedievalband.bandcamp.com and some at Amazon.
It is a "medieval rock" EP with four songs. Original melodies and arrangements, also the lyrics hold a deep meaning and the songs are played with soul, albeit our mixing and producing (as usual) aren’t top notch.

Our site: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB - Kind Of Lost (remake of Keine Lust by Rammstein)ChildrenMedievalBand2019-04-29 | This is a COVER (remake) of Keine Lust by Rammstein! We do not own the song. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Dimas Production (Onesti, Romania) on April 4, 2019. For the sake of making the R+ masterpieces more popular to English speaking audiences (most of which are trapped by the mainstream stuff) we decided to use English lyrics and actually change the song's meaning. We made it into a protest song against liars (dishonest politicians, fake news, etc). We are quite proud of our lyrics:
I feel kinda-lost x 4
I'm feeling kind of lost because of liars I'm kinda lost and burned by fires I always want the truth to hear But all these liars have no fear It's too much loss being lied again I'm lost not knowing whom to blame
Is this a world of shameless lies? I'm kinda lost a truthful guy Sometimes I'm mad filled with disgust I don't like those who I can't trust - rah
I feel kinda-lost x 3 RAH! I feel kinda-lost
I'm traveling and lost - guided by deceivers The paradox of liars does brain fever When travelers meet a liar They lose their way and land on fire
Is this a world of shameless lies? I'm kinda lost a truthful guy Sometimes I'm mad filled with disgust I don't like those who I can't trust
I want the truth to hear But all these liars have no fear When I see their dirty tongues //out Then I feel hate and get mad, still so calm Me rest calm...

Through the day, through the night Warriors stand up and fight Bravest are only those Fighting for a good cause Don't let bads anymore Force this world onto war
At the end of the night Most of warriors die, We should open a door Out of this world of war Don't let bad guys no more To create a 3rd war

CMB site: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB - Light SabbathChildrenMedievalBand2017-11-05 | CMB is listed under 'Neo-Medieval music', on Wikipedia, as the only USA band representative for this style. Here is one piece where CMB successfully blends hard-rock, hard-core and medieval into a unique new genre. Video made in March 2017, during the recording of the New Target album, recently released.
Our site: childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comAd for CMBs New Target albumChildrenMedievalBand2017-09-08 | While visiting east-european country, inside former marxist block, Cornelia finds out that most radio stations are gross polluters. Listening to CMB is her only defense against 'earworms'. Fragments from CMB's new album are here: youtube.com/watch?v=9d9l1jIuWOY
CMB's new album may not be easy to digest, but is a good remedy for cleaning up 'earworms' - youtube.com/watch?v=9d9l1jIuWOY - see NewTarget fragments.
Compared to many other medieval music recordings, our album is not the best quality, but it brings a new concept: medieval music shouldn’t be danceable, powerful or melodious by today’s standards. Instead we tried to convey other dimensions of this style: fairy-tale atmosphere, innocence and candor, some piousness and natural freshness. We believe that we have opened a new avenue on the neo-medieval genre. . The “California Medieval Faire” album contains ten Medieval and Renaissance pieces, played and recorded while we were in California. Quite unexpectedly, but in this part of USA there are numerous Medieval Faires. Between 2012-2016 we have played each year at four of them: Big Bear City, Ventura, Escondido and Poway. Nevertheless, the most interesting fact for us was to be invited at Dehesa School in Newport, where we played for about 100 young kids. This kind of “fairy-tale” music is only rarely promoted to children – and this is quite sad – that’s why we were happy to go and interact with the kids. We have to be optimistic. We are trying to make a difference.

In other words, three white kids cover an epic song of a great black artist. To show respect, Stefan learned the Hendrix solo parts note-by-note.

CMB site: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB - one more Sonne - by RammsteinChildrenMedievalBand2016-04-11 | This video had been recorded a few years ago and left unlisted. Recently we have posted it on fb and had relative success. So we make it now public on youtube. We've been quite inactive lately, but slowly we are working on a new short album, to be released sometimes this year. It will have a few good songs... Stay tuned!
Our site: https://childrenmedievalband.wordpres...Children Medieval Band - End of Road (Official Video)ChildrenMedievalBand2016-03-02 | From our first album "Treasure Underground" (youtube.com/watch?v=PIpzWJusEbo). Far below the quality of Rammstein videos, but it's our original work and has certain value. STORYLINE: While running from an evil monster, the kids reach the ocean, hoping the waters will part. But it's not happening. However, a toy trap set by Stefan, apparently defeats the monster.
Lyrics End of road Our journey's now stopped We've come a long way Thought the sea will part But now we lost heart
While walking we hoped That the sea will part.. but There is no divide And our rise is blocked It's end of the road...
R. We have reached End of the road And wait For the sea to part
Not much can be More confusing than this Far from what we thought Something is amiss. And there's no return
While walking we hoped That the sea will part.. but There is no divide And our rise is blocked It's end of the road...
R. We have reached End of the road And wait For the sea to part
It's so sad That we have failed And no Miracle's unveiled.
Still we hope The sea will part And we'll Safely walk out free

For the honestly concerned that we don't look 'happy': Hey, Stefan here, thanks for your concern, but I'm almost 14 and nobody's forcing us. I'm the leader of this band (whenever my sisters don't give me a hard time) and we definitely don't like the 'shake-butt' disco or the 'bad-ass' evil metal many kids enjoy. We like this song because it's tense. Otherwise we like a lot of Beatles, which most kids don't enjoy. Anyway, we would be happier if more people would buy our first album "Treasure Underground". Thanks.

Our site: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpres.comCMBs ad for Treasure UndergroundChildrenMedievalBand2015-10-20 | Yes, in this mercantile world we need to advertise. But this childish promotion failed to bring any sales. Nice. On top of that, we got many dislikes - all from Arab countries. Well, we didn't mean to offend anyone, this promo was intended for Europeans only, so they should listen to our album and not to the mainstream crap. Anyway, the first album of Children Medieval Band has good value but it's almost unknown. "Treasure Underground" has 10 interesting songs, non-cliche and non-predictable. A classy product made by kids. Can be found at http://www.nimbitmusic.com/childrenmedievalband. Also at Amazon and iTunes.

http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB live - Rock History - Past and PresentChildrenMedievalBand2015-09-27 | Two songs played at the cocktail party of USACD Convention (Palm Springs, California, 2015). We like the atmosphere of this film, even if quality is not hd, but it's genuine and true as a live performance. Talking About You (Chuck Berry in 1960) and Du Riechst So Gut - which is not the Rammstein's last song but it portraits their style quite well.

http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.comCMB at Mira Mesa Fair - Double Vision (by Foreigner)ChildrenMedievalBand2015-09-24 | A cover prepared for the double show we played at Mira Mesa Fair and Palm Springs USACD Convention, in the same day Sep. 19th 2015. Stefan’s voice is suffering serious changes, but he managed quite an interesting vocal performance during these two shows. This is a more suitable piece for an audience expecting entertainment. One of the authors of this song (Mick Jones) used to experiment in the past with Spooky Tooth band, so he deserved to finally enjoy popular success with some of the most decent hard-pop compositions.
