    Album review: Erdling – Mana

    While I knew that Erdling were about to publish a new album called Mana this year, I definitely did not have it on my personal watch list. I might’ve mentioned it before, perhaps in my concert review on the Erdling show in Oberhausen last year: They’re usually not exactly a band I listen to at home, but one of those artists I really enjoy seeing live since I first saw them in Merseburg.

    Concert review: Erdling & Hand of Juno, Kulttempel Oberhausen, 8 November 2024

I’ve seen them live for the first time at a small medieval festival in Merseburg and their stage energy blew me away. Yet, their music has never really made it into my playlists. I still went to see them at Summer Breeze this year and I did not hesitate to buy tickets for their anniversary tour. And I can tell you: It was worth it!
